Just maybe a little something for those people who are just getting started.
Now before I get bashed by someone here, I would just like to state that there are multiple ways to make money online. Some may possibly work better than others for some people. Just because I make money this way doesn't mean you will. OK?
Now. Are you familiar with an HTTP redirect through your domain registrar?.?. Well, you should learn how to do this as another tool in your pouch to be able to market effectively. Basically, you buy a domain, redirect it to your affiliate link via HTTP redirect, that way you don't have to spend the time to build a website. HOWEVER, in order to drive traffic to your domain, without using spam tactics... (naughty you), you will have to develop a marketing strategy that works for you. Whether this be paid advertising or real life streetside marketing, this is up to you. But either way, I know this method works. It still registers your affilate link and tracks it as long as you use an Http redirect. For those of you who like to streetside market, this could really work for you for 2 reasons.
For one, you don't have to build your own website. You just buy a domain for like 8 bucks a year, then you redirect it to the website you are an affiliate of.
For the next, it makes it look really good when your customer goes directly to the company site without having to pit stop on your site on the way there. Conversion rates can be much higher. $$
But like I said, you will have to devise a marketing strategy to get customers to go to your website.
But i'm sure you can figure out an outstanding strategy (no spamming boys and girls). I have faith in you.
So there you have it. A free new method that is legit.
Add it to your toolbox. Have a wonderful day!!!
