The third step to making money online the affiliate way
is to get traffic to your website. Now it is important to make note
that we don't just want traffic for the sake of getting traffic,
but we want traffic coming to our site that are interested in what
we have to promote. This type of traffic is called targeted traffic.
If I am interested in dog products, I certainly won't be visiting
a horse product site.
The
fourth step is to create an email list of customers. You
will be able to use this list to offer other products to. This list
will have an email address for the different people that have come

fifth step will be to assess your conversions. There are
different types of conversions, with the main one being the percentage
of people that visit your site divided by the number of sales. Another
article will be devoted the understanding conversions.
The
sixth step is a step that you will spend a lot of time
doing after the initial set-up. This will be tracking your results.
The main measurement that I want to know is how much did I make
and was it a loss or did I make a profit. I want to know how many
people came to my site. I also want to know where the visitors came
from. That way, I will be able to determine which sources I should
continue to use. The next measurement that I want to check on is
how many people did I add to my list. For those that I added to
my list, I also want to find what percentage of those people purchased
a product.
Finally
I want to take a look at my money. I need to find out how much did
I spend in advertising and then how much money did I actually take
in.
