Internet gives lots of opportunity to make money and one such is earning money by becoming an affiliate marketer. Affiliate marketing is one of the easy ways to make money online without much expenditure. You need to create traffic through search engines to sell the product.

Let me share my own experience as an affiliate marketer. I started my affiliate marketing career with popular Amazon. If you are new to this affiliate marketing industry, then you should know how to become an affiliate marketer with Amazon. It will not take more than 2 days to become the affiliate of Amazon. Visit their website; fill out the form available there to become an affiliate marketer. You will get confirmation message through e-mail. Once you have become the affiliate of amazon, you can start searching products like books, digital products and promote them through your site. For every sale that is made through your website, amazon will be pay commission. The commission amount differs on each product and it ranges from 4% to 15%. The commission is offered to you in the form of cheque by amazon. Normally, the cheque is released after 60 days from the date of sales occurred.

Clickbank is also one another online store for which I am marketing products. Clickbank has displayed numerous products and it is your talent to choose the right product that is mostly searched in the search engines by the users. So, before choosing the product, you should do a little research and find out which product has given good sales in the past few weeks. Here also the commission varies but clickbank offers very high commission. Some products are offered 75% commission of the sales amount. It is easy to become the affiliate marketer of clickbank and the formalities are very less here.

Once you have become the affiliate marketer of these online stores, your first job is to create huge traffic to your site. Of course without good traffic it is not possible for any affiliate programmer to sell the product. I handled few tricks to drive traffic to my website which I am sharing with you here.

1] Create your profile on facebook, myspace etc. These social networking sites will fetch you good traffic and potential customers. Create blogs and provide backlinks through blog posting and forum posting.

2] The next option I tried to create traffic was creating automated programs which did not turn in my favor.

3] I also tried some expensive video marketing. But, commenting on other videos and blogs gave me break as I was allowed to leave my domain link after every blog comment.

4] Out of many options I tried to create traffic, e-mail marketing was worthy. E-marketing will yield good results if you can handle it effectively. The first thing essential for effective affiliate marketing is list building. First you must find few customers who are showing interest in your product and then convert them into long term customers. Even though you will get only little income in the initial stage, in the long run you are assured of consistent income. So, first satisfy your customer by selling the genuine product at reasonable price and you are sure to fetch good income as an affiliate marketer.
