Small Business Center All About Affiliate Programs
As you probably know, one of the great advantages of getting into the online business game is the sheer variety of options you have when it comes to making money.
One of the most simple — yet potentially most rewarding — of
these methods is affiliate marketing.
What is affiliate marketing? Simply put, affiliate programs use advertising on one website to drive traffic to another website. The site receiving the traffic rewards the site placing the ads. So, the first company gets paid for posting an ad, and the second company receives greater traffic. The second website is usually a company actively engaged in growing an online brand name, and considers increased traffic so important that that it offers rewards for each visitor brought to its site via affiliate advertising.
Wikipedia tells us more: “Affiliate marketing overlaps with other
internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use
regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine
optimization, paid search engine marketing, email marketing and in some
sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use
less orthodox techniques like publishing reviews of products or services
offered by a partner.” ( View
the original Wikipedia article here.)
So much for the standard definition. The real question is — why should you care about affiliate marketing? What can it do for you?
For starters, affiliate marketing is an easy and relatively inexpensive way to get into the online business world. It’s an even better way to maximize your profits if you already have a website. There’s usually no set-up fee or monthly charge to begin an affiliate partnership, and you’re usually paid each time a visitor clicks on an ad you’ve posted on your own site. With more sophisticated affiliate programs (such as Aplus.Net’s), you can even choose the size and location of the ad you’re posting, and you’re paid an additional sum for each account that’s signed up via your site.
If you’re interested in learning more about affiliate programs and
how to make them work for you, we encourage you to check
out Aplus.Net’s own affiliate program here. Also, read on in
this newsletter for this month’s Expert Opinion for some insider
opinions on just how to make an affiliate program work for you.
Product News Have You Tried Google AdWords®?
Don’t forget: As an Aplus.Net web hosting customer, you’re
eligible for up to $100 in Google AdWords advertising credit.
Why do you need Google AdWords? If you’re looking for online advertising
that’s effective, trackable, and accountable — and you should
be — then Google AdWords is a great way to find customers looking
for what you’re selling.
Plus, it’s easy to use. Basically, if you can describe your business
and what you sell in a few words, you can have your ad up and running within
minutes. Your ad will appear on Google.com (as well as Google’s partner
sites like AOL.com ® and Ask.com ®) to targeted prospects within
your geographic market (defined by you). You set your own budget, and you
only pay when someone clicks on your ad. There are no commitments, no minimum
spend requirements, and no obligations of any kind.
It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in. It doesn’t
matter whether you have a brick-and-mortar store on Main Street or you
work out of a home office. Either way, if you’re a small business
looking to grow, Google AdWords is the perfect way to and drive more traffic
to your site. So take advantage of this no-risk chance to try out targeted
online advertising.

Keep It Current!
Keeping your address current is more important than you realize, and the success of your website just might depend on it. For example: “Marty” was a happy and hard-working customer who failed to notify Aplus.Net when his email address changed. Marty didn’t realize that he was missing important emails notifying him that his domain name was about to expire. Because of this simple mistake, Marty lost not only his domain name to a competitor, he also lost countless hours of hard work and months of progress. Don’t make Marty’s mistake— Keep your information current!
