Step-By-Step How to Make Money Online on the Internet with Affiliate Marketing

I used to be the one who’s always looking for the ways to make money online. After years of reading and trying to get things work, I’m finally able to make money on the Internet from the comfort of my own home 

If you’re the one who still don’t know how to make a single cent online, I know what you’re thinking right now. Therefore, I’m here to share with you the step-by-step of what I do to earn money on the Internet. I’ve decided that now it’s time to give back  By the way, I already put more steps of how I finally made money and got my first check in the report in the sidebar you can download for

I believe that it’s impossible to put the exact step-by-step blueprint of Internet marketing in this one single blog post, so I’m going to make it short and (hopefully) understandable.
OK, are you ready?
Here are the steps I do to make money through the Internet with affiliate marketing (a.k.a promoting other people’s products for handsome commissions):

Step 1
 

Picking a Niche

It is recommended that you are promoting products in the niche that you’re already passionate about. For example if you love pets, you can choose to be in the cat or dog niche. Or, if you’re into health and fitness, you can go to that niche. But you can also jump into a niche that you’re not passionate about, since that’s in fact what I did when I just got started 

If you’re reading this, I know that you are passionate about Internet marketing, but I suggest that you don’t jump straight away into this niche as it’s very competitive.

Step 2
 

Researching Keywords

The beauty of Internet marketing is that you can find out what people want to buy before creating or promoting a product. You can do what people are looking for by performing a keyword research. To do this, you should find out the keywords that people are searching by employing the free Google Keyword Tool.

You can find out the search volume for long tail keywords, as they are more specific and people are more likely to buy when searching for them. For example, “lower blood pressure naturally”, “making money with Clickbank”, etc. Usually, it is recommended to go for the keywords that have no less than 2,000 local searches per month.

Step 3
 
Finding a Good Product

To find a good product to promote, I recommend you start with Clickbank’s marketplace. You can register first, then start finding a good product. If you find a product with high gravity, it means that there are a lot of people promoting that product and earning commissions. If the product has lower gravity, then it means that there are fewer people promoting and earning commissions from it.

Personally, I like to find a product that has lower gravity. That’s also what’s recommended by Kelly Felix, the guy behind the best-selling “The Rich Jerk” and who together with Mike Long created Bring The Fresh, a guide to making money online which I think the best I’ve found.

Step 4
 

Creating a Website + Pre-Sell Content

After you know what to sell and what keyword you are going to target, you can buy a domain and hosting. The domain name you create should contain the keyword you are targeting to make it easier for you to rank on the first page of Google. After that, you can write (or ask others to write for you) several articles on your website.

Again, I’m not good at explaining how to build a money making blog or website in this short blog post, so you can go to Bring The Fresh since Kelly is going to show you how he build a profitable blog in 45 minutes. Or, you can download my

Step 5

Backlinking to Get to First Page of Google

Do backlinking so that you can be on the first page of Google so more people will notice your website. One of the ways I do this is by writing informative and valuable articles + article resource box, submitting them to article directories, and backlinking.

This won’t happen overnight, so you need time. You can check out how I SEOd my website in the free report I’ve mentioned before.
