The 2008 Beijing Olympics has ended. This blog has focused on this event for the past days- from the day the Olympics started until the day it ended. There are just two purposes for shifting from the main topic of this blog which is affiliate marketing | affiliate programs:

1. Provide information about current events
2. Make money from current events

In the blogosphere, traffic is the key to making more money. Traffic is like food to us webmasters. We need traffic to either sell a product, promote an affiliate program, or to earn from the ads displayed on our sites. The more traffic your blog or site gets, the more money you are likely to make.

For the Olympic Games event, although I was late in optimizing this blog for better SERP, yet I was able to get into the 1st -3rd page of google search results in some keywords. Thus I get over a thousand visits at times.

Unlike other webmasters who reached $600 from adsense because of the heavy traffic, I managed to just pull off over $200. But that’s my quota and I’m sure glad I reached it before the month of August ends.

There is still traffic from Olympic Final Medal Tally, Olympic Final Medal Count, Medal Count in Olympics and other keywords related to Olympics. I hope the traffic continues for more days and I hope to get more earnings from adsense so that I can buy myself a new cellular phone. Oh yes I need a new phone because my old phone has some problems. In the next days I will be talking again about how to make money online and about affiliate programs.

And yes, a million thanks to my visitors!

Minimum Payout is $20 which is paid the soonest you earn this amount without the need to contact the admin for the payment. Below is the payment proof. You can also earn through the affiliate program. Bring users to the program and you get a percentage of what they earn.

Another Affiliate program that you may not have known or you may have failed to take into consideration in earning money online is credit card affiliate program. These days, the need for credit cards is rising. Credit Cards are very useful especially when you need something and you are out of cash.

There are so many credit cards available depending on your needs. You can choose a few of these credit cards and apply for their affiliate program. Credit Card affiliate programs can give you passive income by referring customers. You can tell your friends about a particular credit card, convince them to get one and give them your link. You can get between $20 to $200 in most credit card affiliate program commissions. That’s a good addition to your monthly income.

I shall be providing sooner a list of good credit card affiliate programs that you can join and promote to earn cash. So please stick around.

As an affiliate marketer, it is important to have a credit card or a debit card for your paypal account. This is of paramount importance as most affiliate programs or money making programs pay via paypal. I am reminded of the importance of credit card because I received an email from someone who wants to make money online yet does not have a credit card and a paypal account too.

So here’s some things to do first if you want to make money online:

1. Get a credit card or a debit card.
2. Use your credit card or debit card at least once just to have a transaction history.
3. You can then apply for a paypal account using your credit card or debit card.
4. Join affiliate programs and earn.

Today I decide to introduce you to Moreniche. Moreniche is an affiliate program which promises to give you $20 per referral you bring to the site.Pretty impressive. But to get your $20 your referrals must make a sale first. Similar to how affiliate programs really work, you need to bring in sales and or leads to the site to get paid of your commission. As an affiliate this program will work in the long run giving you a steady flow of money granting that you have good traffic to your site with a wide range of coverage of potential customers or buyers.

As an affiliate the challenge will be on how to convince people to buy the product you offer to them. If you successfully convince people to buy then that’s when money comes in. Moreniche however has a good referral program from 2nd tier to multi tiered referral, the latter giving you a continuous share of your referrals earnings even up to the 4th referral.For more information, check out the site!

From time to time, I hear from a number of individuals seeking marketing advice for their home based business. I recently had an opportunity to ask Work from home expert Stone Evans for his tips on creating a successful home business. Here’s what he had to say…

“If you are going to have a successful home business, you need 3 “intangibles.” These are things that must come from WITHIN you.”

Intangible 1

First, you must have a strong WHY.

Why MUST you have a successful home business? What is driving you? What is it that you CAN’T have in your life anymore and/or what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?

For me, I couldn’t stand working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone’s time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick. I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children’s lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home business would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.

Intangible 2

You must BELIEVE that it is possible. If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home business or make your living from home, you won’t. It’s that simple. For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from home.

If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my situation. There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online and do some research and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local bookstore and you’ll find the same documented evidence of this fact.

Truth is, it’s getting easier and easier to make money with your own home business. I’ve always said that “affiliate marketing” (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the future. In the “old” days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough) unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the “job” of the future that’s already here TODAY.

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP. Ready, FIRE, then aim… This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with a home business. That’s backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is that home business success is a moving target… The only thing constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and simply jump into it. You can’t learn from the outside… You have to be IN THE RING to truly understand it. The lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home business. You simply have to start one. It’s like having children… You’re never really ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow.

This is what I call “Making the Leap.” The good news is that the cost of failure with having your own home business is very small. In the “brick and mortar” world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. It’s almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you can often start a successful business for less than $100.

The Plug-In Profit Site is a great example of this: http://www.HomeBusiness.us You simply need get IN THE GAME… Each moment that you stay “out there,” you’re wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills necessary to build a successful home business. In fact, if you’re not in the game yet, you’re ALREADY behind the times. Make the leap to creating a successful home business today!
