The title of this post is a bit of a tease because I’m not going to tell you exactly where I earn money online.
What I do want to do is share how many different products I promote and what kind of thing I do in order to make some affiliate sales.
In time this will hopefully become a long list of products that allow me to earn a living online.
Regular readers of this blog ( are there any? ) will probably be able to guess what product I get the majority of my commissions from.
I’m going to promote a range of different products in a few different niches eventually so I’m going to call my current cash cow:
Product A in the Red Niche
I’ll definitely go on to promote other products in this niche but for now there’s just one earning money for me and it’s a recurring payment which is great. It means making the sale once can keep money coming in for months, maybe even for years afterwards.
How am I promoting Product A?
This is almost embarassing, with all ideals of becoming a hard-working internet marketer, my biggest success has been with plain ol’ article marketing.
Not only that my earnings has come almost entirely from a single article.
Almost anyone explaining article marketing will point out that you need to be writing or producing content consistently and often in order to earn money.
That’s true but only because some of the articles will earn nothing and some will be profitable. I was lucky enough to write a profitable article early on and have been reaping the rewards for years since.
I said I wouldn’t be telling you about niches or amounts but I can say that I have earned literally thousands of dollars from a single page on a website.
A page that took me about half an hour to write.
I might have to write a hundred articles before I get a winner like that again, but I’m sure that my “luck” would improve the more I write or the more I learn about internet marketing.
With previous success as proof I know that I need to produce more stuff and I can go on to earn more money from internet marketing.
The site you haven’t built, the page you haven’t published will never earn you anything.
In the Red Niche I have yet to create an email signup, I have not created any squidoo lenses or hubpages and all the traffic to my page has come from search engines.
It’s been successful because it’s an honest review of a product and people are receptive to something that isn’t too salesy.
It was the kind of article I wanted to find to reassure me that the product was worth buying.
Coming Soon
I’m going to expand this into a series that will explain what kind of promotion I’m using for each product in each niche.
Hopefully this will give you some kind of idea of what kind of work is required to profit from internet marketing.
