Free Affiliate Marketing (PTC) Course

If you’ve been on my site long enough, you already know I’m a successful affiliate marketer that earns about 5 figures per month. I don’t throw around these numbers because I’m an arrogant bastard that likes to brag. I’m revealing these numbers as a source of inspiration for you. Because I was where you are now. I spent hours per day searching and applying to various work at home jobs. I know the feeling of waiting by your computer in the hopes that an employer would reply back to all the resumes I sent. I also know that awful feeling of despair you get when you don’t hear back from any of these employers. What the f? Couldn’t you have the decency to email me back & let me know that I wasn’t qualified or the job was filled. (Sorry I just had a flash back.)

I know what’s it like to be so desperate to make money at home, that you pay for some so called work at home job or product that claims you’ll be making $50-$500 per week instantly. I also know the emotions of anger and embarrassment you feel when you learn these scum bags have just swindled you out of your hard earned money. So yeah I’ve been there too. But obviously you’ve seen that I have been able to shake all that stuff off and become successful with this affiliate marketing career. And if my simple Simon self can do it ,then you can too! 

Giving Back!

So I’ve decided to do you a favor and show you a free way of getting into affiliate marketing using some of the free and legitimate non traditional work at home opportunities I’ve discussed on this blog over the last couple of months.  The operative word here is FREE! So there should be no excuses as to why you can’t apply what I’m about to teach you. Don’t let me find out that you’ve been wanting to get into this career and not apply what I’m about to teach you. I know where you live and will come after you. lol

All jokes aside, keep in mind that the technique presented in this article is just ONE method of affiliate marketing. It’s extremely limited! But it will get your feet wet and can make you a bit more money. At the end of the day if you want to earn the type of money I do, then you’ll need a lot more techniques and skills which can be obtained with an internet marketing training website like Wealthy Affiliate. However, I know many of you can’t afford the low cost monthly fee of this internet marketing training course at the moment. So I’m going to hook you up. By using the method listed in this article, you should be able to make enough to pay for your Wealthy Affiliate training and then excel into higher levels of income that I know you’re capable of reaching with this career So Let’s Get Ready To Rumble!

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Just in case you don’t know, affiliate marketing is basically a fancy way of saying: getting paid to refer people to products, services or information they want. This is very different than many other home based business opportunties or MLMs you may be thinking of.  They typically involve referring family members, friends or anyone you can find to buy over priced products or services people don’t want or need. We all know a family member or friend that tried to peddle some nonsense or get you to join some matrix they were part of. This isn’t what affiliate marketing is about! When done correctly, you’re just getting paid to providing people with solutions to problems they need help with and have asked for.

For instance many of you love the information on this blog. You’ve probably emailed some articles to a few friends or family members who are looking to work at home or avoid scams. Well that’s sort of like doing affiliate marketing.  If you were an affiliate of my site, then you would get paid for doing this.  (Sorry I don’t have an affiliate program but I do have a contest you can participate in.)

By the way affiliates can get paid various ways. Everyone knows you can get paid if someone buys something (PPS aka Pay Per Sale). But did you know you can also get paid if someone fills out a form for free information, join a newsletter, site, etc? This is known as CPA, CPL or PPL (Cost per action, cost per lead or pay per lead) You can also get paid if someone clicks on a link that you place on your site if you have one. Google has an affiliate program known as adsense that pays this way. So don’t assume people need to buy something from you to get paid! Although a lot of techniques you learn focus on pay per sale, you can use them for the other type of affiliate programs as well. Trust me, I do it all the time.

How To Join An Affiliate Program?

1. You visit the site of a company you’re interested in promoting or being affiliated with. (99.9% have affiliate programs. Just email the company if you can’t find a link. to the program which is usually at the bottom of the page) You can also join an affiliate network which has many affiliate programs in one place.

2. You read about their affiliate program to discover how much you’ll get paid, when and how.

3. You sign up to be an affiliate of the company. This is always FREE because it’s obviously in the best interest of the company to have a fleet of people advertising for them for free.

4. You’re provided a user name and password to login so you can see your stats, how much your owed and where to get your marketing material.

5. You login to get your free marketing material such as banners, ad copy and a free website with your unique id to use to refer people to their product, service or website. (The free website is managed by the company, you don’t need to create one or know how to update it.  You just need to know how to copy & paste your website address.)

6. You go out and start promoting your website address to people that will be interested in this product, service or website.

The last step is where people have a lot of problems and where training is very important. This is the area I’m going to focus on and make your life easy.

 

How To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing Now?

Okay now that you know how this works, let’s make some money.

1. First sign up for the following legitimate work at home opportunities. They’re all free and legitimate and will be mentioned in the video. But you can use any company that you think is legitimate.

Hits4Pay.com, YouData.com, ClixSense.com

2. Watch the following video:

3. Wash, Rinse & Repeat. This can literally be done with a boat load of legitimate work at home opportunities you’re involved in. If you don’t know any, visit my recommendations page by clicking here.

4. Take Action! Don’t just sit there and watch the video and think about it. Be about it!

5. Re-invest the money you’ll earn back into yourself with affiliate marketing training or whatever else will make you happy.

That’s it!

See how easy that is folks? You can literally keep repeating the steps over and over again by promoting various legit work at home offers you’re involved with.  Next thing you know, you’re making some decent money. Now will you be able to support your family with this type of money? I doubt it! Can this technique work for affiliate programs that aren’t related to work at home? Nope. This was just one simple example of how you can make some seed money. I call it seed money because if you’re smart you’ll re-invest the money in other things that will make you more money such as some additional affiliate marketing training by a company like Wealthy Affiliate which teaches you many more techniques that can be used for any type of affiliate programs not just those limited to work at home.

Ultimately for you to make life changing money, you need the skills that pay the bill! This is especially true when it comes to making money at home. I think the fact that many of you have been searching for months or years can attest to this. Many of you have great skill sets but they’re not necessarily in high demand when it comes to work at home jobs. An affiliate marketer is always in demand because companies will always need new customers to consume their product, service or website. Think about it.  When have you ever heard a company say that they have enough money so let’s cut back on activities that make us more money. As Kat Williams would say: "Not never!"

Affiliate Marketing is Recession & Lay off Proof!

So you need to take advantage of this situation. Affiliate marketers aren’t usually affected by recessions. If anything they may thrive off them because companies rely on them more to make up the profits they may be losing. So if you want to enjoy the type of lifestyle and income a trained affiliate like myself earns, then you need to re-invest in your self. After all, why do you think people go to college, law or medical school? It’s not because they like spending money they don’t have. It’s because they know it’s an investment in their future. They’re NOT guaranteed success but they improve their likelihood of it with the acquisitions of skills that are highly sought after. Affiliate marketing is no different. You can learn the ropes but you won’t succeed unless you’re willing to take action and see your success through to the very end no matter what obstacles you face. And trust me, you will face many of them. 

As much as I love this career, I would be remissed if I didn’t say it wasn’t for everyone. That’s the whole reason I wrote my article Top 10 Reasons To Avoid Affiliate Marketing. Joining a website like Wealthy Affiliate will teach you what you need to know but they can’t make you successful. That still has to come from you. You need to have the strength to push forward with this career even if you don’t see a dime or results right away or even after months of work. If you know that’s not you, then just avoid this career all together and continue to search for a work at home job or just take what I’ve shown you today and make your little money with it.

At the end of the day you have choices either way. As always, just do what’s best for you and be honest with yourself. Don’t let me or anyone jeidi mind trick you into anything that may not be right for you!  In any event I hope you enjoyed my Free Affiliate Marketing Course. At the very least some of you will walk away from this article with a little more change in your pocket. If you found this article helpful, please share with others using the links below.

    Eddy,

    Excellent information compiled in a very comprehensible post! I just entered the world of google Adsense, and I will keep you posted on the outcome. Lately I’ve been flooded with affiliate emails and seeing them on almost every PTC (Paid-to-click) and SN (social networking) site. I have a clearer understanding of it now, in reading your blog, than in the bits of information here and there from these sites. Thank you for your continual update on all the pros and cons of Internet online businesses and sharing them with us.

    Yes, Eddy. Your e-mails and blogs have been extremely helpful.

    I’m getting ready to take the plunge and go with Wealthy Affiliate. I said as soon as I could get the money together I would sign up with them. I’m going to give it all I can to become successful and self-sufficient in working at home. It’s a risk; but you have to continue to take risks to achieve your dream — your success. I’ll let you know how I’m coming along. Nancy

    Hey Marcus,

    Thanks for the heads up! I’ll need to fix that. But hopefully you were still able to see the video.

    Elizabeth,

    Glad you find the information useful. Google adsense is a great way to make passive income, provided that you can get people to your site. By the way you can use sites like clixsense to advertise any page that you have google adsense on. It’s against their policy. So keep that in mind. That’s why I said this technique is very limited. But it’s a start. Make sure you always do your research on any opportunity you’re receiving, especially by email. The same rules apply for any work at home opportunity, do your homework: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/scams Hope this helps.

    Nancy,

    You’re very wise and truly understand life. There is no guarantees in life except for taxes and death. So I’m glad you understand this in terms of this new career as well. It will give you more of a realistic view going into this and I think that’s what will help you succeed. I look forward to hearing your progress.

    Your best video yet! Using CS as an example was brilliant. You showed everyone a very simple way to get FREE advertising for their “affiliate” programs. I loved how you interjected a bit of humor as well ( although you spelled “Creeping” wrong at the end of the video =P ). The only problem is that now I’m going to have to give “Wealthy Affiliate” a look – damn you! As if I didn’t have enough to do already.

    Hey Phil,

    LOL, Glad you approve. Seems to be a winner here. You know what’s funny about that misspelling, I was staring at the word and thinking to myself this doesn’t look right. But did I bother to spell check? Of course not, with my lazy ass. How embarrassing! But I’m sort of use to that already. My blog is littered with spelling and grammatical mistakes. Thank goodness people look pass my simple simon ways. In any event, I’m glad I’ve made you consider WA now. You’re already pretty savvy at this stuff. But even I learned some new things from WA. So I think anyone can benefit from it. But to each their own. At least now folks can try one technique that won’t cost them a dime.

    Thanks to everyone that has left comments thus far about this article. I look forward to hearing some of the results soon. I know many of you will be getting some referrals very soon. So keep me posted if you do.

    Hey Letitia,

    Great to hear from you. I think this is isolated to your machine. I’ve tested this on several machines windows and mac and it works fine. Most people have been able to see it. Try accessing the article on another pc. Try clicking on the HD button when it starts playing. It’s automatically set up to play in HD mode. But maybe that may be causing an issue. So switching it off may help you. If not definitely just try a different computer maybe outside your home.

    Hope this helps.

    Eddy:

    You are the bomb. Brave and Bold that makes a typical New Yorker, you have a great sense of humor and tell it like it is. I have been following your site for over a year; I approach it with caution and suspicion. I have land two good paying jobs through your site and one that I would never recommend to anyone, they are the biggest A holes on earth.

    I definitely want to get involved with the affiliate marketing deal yet it has been one of those things. Everyday saying today I will do and never get it done. I have been using youdata.com, yet it does not pay very much,not even to cover monthly service for WA. The past 4 weeks I have been paid .84,.72, .15,.11

    Once again I want to say thanks for being so frank and honest with people, many have a hard time handling the truth without sugar coating and saying the “politically correct thing” and to those I say too bad. Deal with it.

    Keep up the great website and your hard work.

  27. Eddy Salomon said on August 8th, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    Hey Astrid,

    Glad you can appreciate the lifestyle. Me and my wife always had a passion for traveling. When I was still slaving away for the man and get the occasional vacation he would throw my way, I would sit on the beach and imagine my life would be like this anytime i wanted. A year or two later I achieved that with a lot of hard work, positive mind set, tons more training and some God’s favor. So it goes to show that any Joe can achieve whatever lifestyle you dream of if you have some of those elements.

    By the way you’re right, I can work anywhere and I do. My wife finds it annoying sometimes because i never go anywhere without my Macbook Air. But she knows if I didn’t work as hard as I did, then we coudn’t play hard. And besides, talking to you good folks doesn’t feel like work most of time. lol Sometimes the occasional hater kills that feeling.

    In any event, glad I can inspire and I’ll continue to work hard.

    Just surfin’ by with a ClixSense update: I took Eddy’s simple instructions (for how to run free ads), put the info to good use and it is paying off. I’m now already on ad number 3 … using only click credits (mine + downline’s). I’ve not paid a single cent for my ads. Yay!

    So c’mon people … I know there are others who have just as good news (maybe even better!) to share about ClixSense. ;)

    Thanks again Eddy!

    By the way … you’re gonna have to start bringing us back souvies from all these fantabulous vacations you’ve been taking. LOL

    As always its great to hear from you. And as always Callie runs with my advice and is successful. But best of all you always come back and share the love to encourage others. I really appreciate that about you Callie.
    Its funny you mention souvenirs, that’s exactly why I don’t buy them. lol Family members and friends start catching feeling if you forget them. So now everyone gets an emailed picture of my trips. Ghetto I know. lol

    In any event, Thanks for sharing your experience Callie.

    By the way, Callie first started by taking surveys I recommended on my site and then went full force with it. She later decided to become the survey queen and started her on blog: http://www.SurveyFavs.com Callie is employed by traditional work at home jobs but she’s also making her money with non-traditional work at home opportunities. Why can’t that be you?

    Hi Eddy,

    Well I have been searching for a few years of how to get a good handle on affiliate marketing. Unfortunately nothing is working. I have tried what you suggested and without investing in myself I am not seeing any results. To get any where with clixsense, you still need to pay the 10 dollars to get more clicks. I did manage to make 1.88 with youdata, but now i have logged in several times and there are no more ads displayed for me. I don’t know what I could be doing wrong. I am determined to get this up and running although after a few years of not making more then a few dollars I am starting to get discouraged. I have read almost everything that you have posted I really do enjoy your site and am glad that you have become so successful. Anyways, I am not quite sure what I am doing wrong apparently your baby steps are not baby enough for me lmao. I think I am just getting myself to frustrated right now……….breathe breathe breathe….ok i am good now ready for some advice :)

  36. Eddy Salomon said on August 19th, 2009 at 7:38 am

    Hey Melissa,

    Thanks for contacting. Trust me I totally understand what you’re going through. I’ve been there and done that. But just keep in mind I’ve been at this for years. Success didn’t happen over night. My road to success involved a lot of failure, obstacles, discouragement, hate from others, etc. But I’ve learned that some of the most successful people in life have often traveled the same road. So guess what? You’re in good company. lol
    The difference between those who make it and those that don’t, is the ability to get up, brush your shoulders off and keep coming back for more. The fact you’ve earned some money online with YouData is more than most people can say for their work at home efforts. There are still tons of people out there that have spent months or even years trying to land that elusive traditional work at home job and haven’t earned a dime. At least you can say, you have. You have to focus on your little victories not your losses. Even if I lost $50 trying something but eventually made $5 back, I would relish in the victory. It meant hey, this stuff works. I just need to fine tune my efforts. Sure I’m down $45 but at least I know it works and I can make it work.

    So my advice is stop focusing on your failures. Focus on your victories. The biggest part of success that most people fail to discuss or realize is mind set. I’ve been doing this since I was in highschool. I had relative success since then. But it was within the last 2-3 years is where I reached my apex. Not surprisingly it was when I changed my mindset. I stopped thinking negatively and saying things like maybe, try, or hopefully. My vocabulary and thoughts were more affirmative. The book “The Secret” & a little old preacher name Joel Osteen helped me with that. I know for some people that’s corny or sounds like mojo. But I will tell you that changing my mindset was the key. Obviously you need to put action to it and invest in your learning. But some people who do that still fail because their mindset is just defeated. So start working on that.

    In terms of getting more money, why not try Amazon’s Turk program. There are some folks doing so great things with this recommendation:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2008/07/29/work-at-home-with-amazoncom/

    You’re not doing anything wrong with YouData.com they just don’t have enough advertisers for all the work at home seekers they now have. What I have found is you keep logging in different times a day, you can get some more ads. Keep clicking away at clixsense until you get the $10 to upgrade. Keep plugging away at the different ways I’ve showed you how to make money with. Eventually it will add up and help you move to the next level. Just don’t give up. Remember I was in the same place you were. I just didn’t give up.

    P.S. I also had a part time offline job to help ease the pain of not making money yet too. lol So you may want to add that to the mix.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Melissa,
    I feel your pain. Eddy’s right though. This profession is hard. I still haven’t made a sale through article marketing. Yet, I got my first referral to a work at home site the other day from networking on mylot. I have been doing this for 4 or 5 months and I was just able to upgrade on Clixsense last week. Eddy also recommended a good book “The Secret” I read it myself a few months ago. I am hoping to purchase it one day to keep in my private library. It’s a great book and it will help you think positive and help you change the way you look at the world and your current condition.

    Hi Letitia,

    Thanks for chiming in! I really appreciate it. I think it’s very important that this type of advice comes from each other because sometimes there is this misconception that I’m “special”. So thanks for sharing your experience Letitia. By the way, I totally agree with you about the secret, I was so impressed by it, I went and bought the dvd too which was great for a quick refreshing of my mindset. Because it’s so easy to fall back into the negative mindset. It really is amazing how that really impacts your life. You don’t realize it until you become aware of it. Again I know it all sounds like mojo, but trust me we’ve all experienced this stuff but never given it much attention.

    Hi Eddy, I’m looking into doing the wealthyaffiliate.com program. I kind of got started with the affiliate stuff through Google Profit Resources. I was hoping I could get your opinion on it. I wasn’t sure where else to ask about this….

    Thanks ,

    Claire

    I figured as much. I like the wealthy affiliate site and although I’m a little nervous I think I’m going to go for it :)

    Indeed. But before joining WA be sure you read the following article:

    I don’t want anyone going into this career with any misguided expectations about how easy this will be. It’s those type of Google products that screw up the industry and have people
    jumping into this career not really understanding what’s involved. Hope it helps.

    I made my first attempt at this today. I bought a ClixSense ad. No new referrals, but I’ll try again in a few days. I also will try a different program and some different wording of the ads to see what works. How do I know if my ad is well written to attract people or not? Or is the ad not important, but the content of the site? Or is it more luck of the draw and hope a few of the people who click on your ad are interestedin that particular program on that particular day?

    Hi again Amy,

    What you experienced is common in any marketing. Sometimes you’ll hit them out the park and other times you’ll strike out. I just went through the same thing this past week with clixsense with some ads and programs I tried. But here’s some advice. Pick offers that you would actually try if the shoe was on the other foot. Look at their page like the user would. Do you see things that would turn you off. If so, then it’s probably going to turn off the people you’re trying to target.

    In terms of the ad copy, don’t just use what the company provides you. Use an ad that would appeal to you and reflects what the site is about. So to answer your question, everything is important. Your ad copy, the type of offer and their landing page (website) should all be good. At the very least the landing page should be attractive.

    But I’ll say it again some ads and offers will do better than others. That’s part of being a marketer. You just need to keep testing and adjusting until you find the ones that work for you.

    I hope this makes sense.

    That makes perfect sense. It is in line with what I was thinking. A lot of trial and error and getting the right person to the right site at the right time.

    Thanks again

    Exactly. It’s part of the process. It can be frustrating sometimes but when you do finally figure it out, it’s very rewarding.

    Eddie, I just joined the site and I think what you have created is genius! I have been doing research on work at home jobs for 2 months now and have not been able to find legitimate companies. I joined one in June 2009 an MLM company that I invested on which lead me to no residual income as they promised, I ended up spending out of pocket money every month for nothing. I was forced into signing up and only after I got the information about profits which turned out to be what is very common now on the web; “sponsoring people to your business”. There are tons of companies out doing the same thing, generating income by “sponsoring people” to join the company but they offer little training and ultimately if you don’t generate the leads you simply don’t make money yet you are stuck with the obligation of a monthly expense of $150, a membership of $299 a year, webhosting at $30 a month, going out convincing people about how good the “product” is for you in whichever creative way possible. Any insight on this online system biz structure?

    Thanks MRodz!

    Glad you appreciate the effort. Sorry to hear about your struggle with finding a legitimate work at home job. I’m not sure if you know about our companies page:
    http://www.workathomenoscams.com/companies , our work at home job leads that are posted every Friday: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/category/work-from-home-job-leads/ and my other site:
    http://www.workathomecareers.com They should help.

    In terms of the business you described, it just sounds like a pyramid scheme where it’s not really about the products or providing value. It’s about getting people to sign up under you so you make money off the fee they paid to get in. Again I’m not part of the business you’re referring to so I can’t say for sure. But the fact that they really wouldn’t tell you what the business is about unless you signed up is just shady. In any event, I hope this helps. Good luck.

    Oh my God! I’m crying! First off, Thanks for putting the audio for the antispam word. I’m a totally blind, and often gone to affiliate websites where they have the capcia letters, and I’m either forced to ask my husband, or leave the site because I can’t read it. I am a member of wealthy affiliate–trying my best to make the most out of the vast information. I’m also a member of Acme people search affiliate program. Why? Because it is extremely hard to get a job in this economy, especially with my disability. So I’m here. However, I have trouble navigating the visual aspects of affiliate marketing. That’s why I’m so greatful that SOMEBODY CARES! I also appreciate your list of resources for people with disabilities.

    Hi Alexandra,

    Thanks for chiming in. I’m happy I can do my little part to help ALL people. Definitely check out my work at home resource people with disabilities. It should definitely help you find something while you master your affiliate marketing career.

    @MRodz:

    Sorry to hear you have not found a work at home job. There are many they hire in different fields and there are many sites which have links to the bigger companies. I cannot reiterate what Eddy and many other legitimate on line collaborators have said ” you should not pay for any legitimate work offer” the most you may be asked to pay is for background check and possible drug test however, I can tell you in 5 years working various work at home jobs as supplement to income, not once have I had to pay for anything , most recently I had to do fingerprint check and they even paid for that and the Fed-Ex to return application and fingerprint cards.

    I recommend to anyone to visit Eddy’s job postings, three months ago I got hired as an on line interpreter from a post Eddy had. I make decent pay for a JOB, I look forward to making more from my own ventures.

    Hello Eddy. Once again I must say you indeed do your home work quite well, if I may say! Just singed up with Clix Sense. The site is so easy to use and the navigation is laid out very well. It’s also wonderful that you have “Work At Home” jobs for those who have disabilities. Keep up the good work your doing too!
