How To Tap Into The Sales of Major Corporations by using their simple affiliate programs

Many big businesses have major affiliate programs. You can go to
their massive shopping site and order any one of thousands of
items. If you click there from one of their affiliates sites,
the affiliate gets a percentage of the purchase price.

This gives affiliates a way to tap into the millions of dollars
many of these big companies earn each and every day. And with all
those thousands of low-priced, high-demand products on display,
it shouldn't be hard to start making sales. Right?

Well, it's not that easy. Big shopping web sites like
http://www.bestbuy.com and http://www.officemax.com have been
offering attractive affiliate programs for years, but they are
notoriously hard to make money on.

Here's why and how to turn this problem around. Soon you can be
tapping into the glitz and value of big corporate sites to earn
the affiliate cash they are truly capable of giving you.

Probably the biggest problem is targeting the people you send to
the site. Send just anyone to the parent site's opening page and
it's unlike that particular person will find something they
REALLY want to buy. People get lost in their big sites. The
chance a person will stumble over just what they want is pretty
remote.

You can greatly increase your odds by creating your own web page
that features a few specific products. Your page can link
directly to the pages featuring those products. This works for
affiliate systems that track your customer no matter what page
they click to. Some let you link directly to specific products.
Others only send people to their opening page. For those, you
can list recommended products on your site so the customer knows
what to look for when she gets to the parent site.

The products you choose to feature should fall into a particular
category: commonly needed supplies for small office printers,
hair care products for men with a certain type of hair,
a particular style of hard-to-find clothing.

Start by creating your own web page. If you can, make your site
at least three pages--an opening page with a few products, a page
that tells about you, and a page with a few helpful tips. All
these can help draw and interest the targeted group of people
who will buy from your affiliate program.

This isn't hard to do, even if you are all thumbs with computers.
Create your own free page in seconds at http://www.webspawner.com
Type in the title of your page, provide a few links, and you're
up and ready to go.

You can make a much more complete and attractive page with a free
site at http:/ ripod.com Get even more lavish with the easy to
use page and logo creation system at http://zy.com It costs a
low $8 per month.

The web addresses that free and low-cost hosts give you can be
long and confusing. http://www.v3.com , http://beam.to/index.asp
,and http://iscool.net give you a free short address that
forwards people to your longer free site address. Instead of
http://www.replicate99.com/nunley/100.shtml you can use an easier
address like http://go.to/nunley

Use these same principles for ads you place and the signature
file in your email messages (a 4 to 6 line ad that appears after
your name.)

You can send people directly to a certain product page using a
short address that "refers" to the longer address.

Also look into affiliate networks that give you an easy way to
link to your choice of hundreds of big programs.
http://befree.com and http://linkshare.com/affiliates/ feature a
great many big corporate programs from the likes of Dell
Computer, Priceline, AT&T, and 1-800-Flowers.

The days of sitting on the sidelines while only rich investors
profit from America's great corporations are over. By smartly
using corporate affiliate programs, you can tap into the flow of
cash. Pull in checks ranging from pocket change to thousands
each month.
