Many people want to make money online. But dont know how to make a website. They can start with Affiliate marketing. In Affiliate Marketing you dont need a product or website of your own. You can join many Affiliate Programs online. Clickbank and Commission Junction are two popular affiliate programs.

When you join an affiliate program, you get commission on selling a product. Usually you promote that product through the merchants website. This method is also known as direct linking or Google Cash Method.

The affiliate program will provide you with a unique link for each product listed on it. When you will advertise that link, people are going to visit the merchants website. If someone likes the product, a sale will be made. Each sale means a fixed percentage as a commission for you.

The main question is how you are going to promote your affiliate site. One of the fastest methods is through Pay Per Click Advertising (PPC). Google, Yahoo and MSN allow advertisers to display ads on their search engine pages for keywords that you choose. But you will have to pay for each click on your ad.

You can join Google Adwords for only $5. Similarly MSN also allows you to join its system for $5, the same with Yahoo. If you are new, Google, Yahoo and MSN may give you a $50 or $100 voucher that you can use in the beginning.

This voucher will let you get $50 or $100 free clicks. This will let you test a few products in the beginning for free. So dont waste these clicks thinking that they are free. You need to open an account on Google, Yahoo and MSN.

First, choose a niche that you want to promote like music, movies, weight loss, dating, iPods etc. Once you have chosen your niche, select a product that you want to sell. Start a campaign on any of the search engine by making ads.

Dont exceed a daily budget of $2 in the start. This will help you avoid losing your money in the beginning. Test and test, see if your website is converting and making sales or not. Choose keywords that have long tails. Long tails means three or more words. When people search on Google, Yahoo or MSN, they use keywords. Long tails convert well. Avoid using single word general keywords. They may be cheap and get a lot of traffic but normally dont convert at all.

The art of PPC lies in the selection of proper keywords that convert. See which keywords are converting. Think like the buyer! Choose keywords that are very specific to your product.

Google, Yahoo and MSN provide you with free Keyword Tools. Use them and select good keywords. In the beginning, try to make $50 every day.

Use these keyword tools to select your keywords wisely. The general rule is this that there should be sale in 100 clicks. If you dont make a sale in 100 clicks, drop the website and choose another merchants product and website. Try to make $50 daily in the start.
