Is quick, large and steady income possible by selling products online? Yes, if you master the art of online promotion and traffic generation. I would even bet that eBay and Amazon started with one or two people in a small, run-down apartment somewhere.
This is the main point a newcomer to Internet and affiliate marketing needs to know, understand, expect and respect: THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS - THIS WILL TAKE TIME - YOU MUST BUILD YOUR BUSINESS - AND IT WILL BE WITH SLOW, STEADY BABY STEPS. Do yourself a favor and read that over and over and make it your mantra. Most of usthat jumped into the affiliate marketing pool, started by Googling things like "make money from home" or "earn home income". The majority of us ended up opening an account at Clickbank. This is a great starting place if you aren't trying to sell your own products.
Clickbank is the eBay of "digital products" and any affiliate can promote and sell these treasures to turn a profit. Digital products means that everything on the site is downloadable onto a computer - so unlike eBay, there is no physical product to ship. This makes the term "shipping and handling" a non-factor in this business.
Once you have an account, it's simply a matter of browsing the available products, choosing some you want to promote and advertise them via your storefront website or blog, etc. You are given a unique affiliate code for each product and when a customer makes a purchase, you are credited for the sale and earn the commission.
