Work From Home – Affiliate Programs

 With the high costs today it’s a necessity for many families to have two incomes. If you’re in such a situation,

you might want to consider the possibility of being a work at home parent.

The decision to work from home may come swiftly for you once you see how much it costs you to hold your present job,

So you have a $25,000 to $50,000 a year salary;

but, after expenses, how much do you have left in spendable income? Sit down and figure out how much it costs you for gasoline, car repairs, added car insurance,

work clothes and accessories, child care, fast food dinners,

and any other work related expense. Now if you were to work at home and make the same yearly salary, the amount you just added up as expenses in your present job,

could be added as spendable income for your family.

You could actually improve your family lifestyle with a work at home career. Not only would have additional money to spend on what’s really important,

your family; but, also have more time as you wouldn’t have that daily commute.

There is a way to become independent and that is to earn money online.

There are millions of people doing just that each and every day. With the numerous affiliate programs offered,

it’s never been easier for new entrepreneurs to take the plunge and start their own home business. With affiliate marketing you can be a

Affiliate Marketing Tip – Write A Free E=book

The second way is to Writing a  E-book

Writing a free ebook is a great way to sell more affiliate products. The ebook can work for you in two different ways and I encourage you to use both methods in each free ebook you write.

The first way is to promote affiliate

links directly in your ebook where appropriate. You can casually mention a product in the body of a particular chapter, review a product as part of your ebook, or add an “Additional Resources” section to the end of the book.

The second way is to link to your content site from your ebook.

You can offer additional information on the site or link to a review page. By sending your readers to your website you get the chance to expose them to additional affiliate products and have the opportunity to get them on your newsletter list.

Let’s take a look at how you can get started on your first ebook.

Find a topic that you are fairly knowledgeable about and come up with an overall theme for the book. What are people looking for on the particular topic? For example, parents of infants will be interested in tips and strategies to get their baby to sleep through the night. A mom looking for a work at home job may be interested in how to spot a work at home scam and where to look for legitimate jobs.

Come up with an outline,

or group some related articles you have written on a particular topic. Now all you have to do is flesh it out a little bit and of course incorporate your affiliate links. An ebook typically consists of at least 25 pages. That may sound like a lot, but you should keep your font size fairly large to make it easier to read on a computer screen.

Let’s talk about format for a moment.

You can purchase software to create an ebook, or you can make it a PDF document. PDF documents will work on just about any computer and people are comfortable downloading them. I usually write my ebooks in Microsoft Word, format it in there, add any pictures or graphics and then turn it into a PFD. You can either do this with Microsoft Acrobat, or use one of the free PDF creation services on the web.

Your next step will be to get the ebook circulating.

After all you are not going to make any affiliate sales if no one reads your book. You can offer it as a free download on your site or give it away as a bonus for subscribing to your newsletter. I also like to add a note in the footer of each page that the reader is welcome to pass the book along to others who might be interested in the topic.

Offer the ebook as a free giveaway

to other website owners and post it on the free ebook directories. Then sit back and watch the book do the work for you. After a few weeks you should see the affiliate sales come in. Time to move on to another book.
