Have you ever been in a sticky situation, like being completely broke with only a few dollars in the bank account, having bills are due within the next day or so?
Or, right after being introduced to a business you know could mean the world of difference in your financial life, yet, you felt like you couldn’t afford it…or that you were too broke to get started?
Are you sitting there shaking your head up and down in the affirmative?
My question to you then, what did you do about it?
One of the most basic ways to make money online is through affiliate programs. In this post, I’m going to show you how to join the best affiliate program ever and show you why you should join.
What is an Affiliate Program?
If you don’t know what an affiliate program is, I’ll explain real quick. To put it simply, it’s a way for you to sell everyone else’s products for a commission. Most affiliate programs offer a one time commission, which is a percentage of the sale price, such as 15% or 30%. So on a $100 product, you’d make a one time commission of $30. Hosting companies such as Godaddy and Hostgator have affiliate programs that pay you around $100 per new hosting account opened. Sure, the hundo (hundred) is nice, but if you know anything about hosting costs, it’s nothing compared to the money the hosting company will make from your affiliate sale over time.
When the average monthly income in the United States is right around the $3,000 range, supporting a family and paying the bills usually drains every last penny from the bank account. Extra money, leisure money, on the average American income is far and few between.
So I ask, could you use an extra $750 per month?
Let’s make a quick list of a few things you could use that money for.
We’ve seen success with Google Adsense happen for people all over the world and yet, some people still struggle with it. There are more than a few people making enough from their Google Adsense ads to support a very luxurious lifestyle.
This post is not going to tell you how to create that level of income by using Google Adsense. This post will be a little more modest.
Now depending on your current lifestyle, the amount of money you’ll need to make it a memorable Christmas for your family is up to you. Some people only purchase one gift for each child while others spoil their kids rotten with a plethora of gifts. And by the way, “plethora” is one of my favorite words. Just so you know.
In my family, depending on what we have going on, we can get by with a modest $1500, but would be able to do much better with around $2500. That buys Christmas for all four of our children, my wife, a single gift for our parents and one for our siblings families. And sometimes that is even too much. Our focus isn’t always on getting gifts, but giving them. Giving makes you feel more fuzzy inside anyway. Right?
When it comes time to write your next blog post, whatever the topic, don’t forget to include an image with your content. Why? Well, because you can get more traffic with images through Google search, if course!
Never underestimate the potential an image has in bringing high quality traffic to your site. If it’s optimized correctly, at times, you’ll be found more for your images than you will for your actual content. At least this stands true for several of my posts.
However, in order to get more traffic with your images, there are a few things you’ll need to do.
First, your image must be a higher quality image. There’s nothing that annoys me more than an image that has been stretched to fit a specific space. Stretching an image distorts and blurs it, making it look very cheap and unappealing. If you’re using wordpress as your CMS, I would typically upload an image that is at least 600 pixels wide and 400 tall, or vice versa. WordPress has features that can reduce the size of your image if need be. It’s always better to start big and downsize.
NEVER stretch an image. EVER. Please….for my sanity.
It is official folks.
I’ve finally found a home based business that has the leverage, price point and income potential that’s worth the effort. The Empower Network has all that I have been looking for.
