Youve read the testimonials and youve seen the TV or internet ads on how you too can get rich with an online business and have decided that you are going to give it a try.

How do you get started?

Well you can go on line and find someone to set up a website for you to sell a product from and this is going to cost money. Wait its going to cost money? Of course it is.

You really dont think someone is going to host a website for you for free do you? While we are on the subject of money, chances are you dont know how to set up a website or keep it updated and running because if you dont this is also going to cost you money.

Now youre saying to yourself, I havent even gotten started yet and Im already spending money, there has to be a better way to go about this.

Your in luck, there is IMO, a better way.

What if I was able to tell you about a company, online, you can go to where you not only do not have to pay for a website, or upkeep, but will also give you a list of products to sell. On top of this you dont have to collect any money, store the product you are selling or pay for the shipping of the product.

All of this is part of what is called Affiliate Marketing.

What this involves is you selling someone elses product and receiving a commission for the sales you make for them.

Now Im not going to tell you that it isnt going cost you any money because you will have to come up with the money for ads that will drive traffic to the site where you have a link to the products splash page, this is where the customer will learn more about the product and will be able to order it from the person that you are selling it for.

Your link that you provide the customer with to go to the splash page is how the company Im going to tell you about keeps track of how much money to pay you and where to send it if the customer buys the product.

The first thing you have to do is sign up for an account with the company. When you sign up for an account you will need to select a nickname that will be used in the link to the products splash page so the company will know who to credit the payment to if the customer buts the product. It would be a good idea to pick a nickname other than something silly like little doll but one that at least looks serious enough to give a sense of maturity on your behalf.

Now that you have signed up for your account you need to select a product you want to advertise and sell.

One of the best ways to select a product is to go with one that you have at least some knowledge of.

While going over the list of products the company has to offer for you to affiliate yourself with keep in mind any hobbies or other interests you have that you would be able to sell products for.

Now you have a product to sell, a place to sell it from and a company that will collect the money, pay the person whose product you are selling and will send you a commission check, there will be a very small fee deducted for cutting the check.

What more could you ask for?

Well how about if you sell the product in a country that uses a different currency than you use?

Once again this company will convert currencies and adjust the price to reflect the proper exchange rate.

Alright. You havent done too bad. You started out not knowing a thing about making money on the internet to signing up with a company that offers a place to sell a product that you have selected from their list of products to sell.

By following the guides and suggestions the company will give you for placing the ads you need to direct traffic to your link to the products splash page, where the customer can buy the product, which in turn will result in you getting a percentage of the sale, in some cases up to 75% you are well on your way to making money on the internet.

What? Whats the name of this company Ive been telling you about? I guess instead of just letting you search for it yourself I should tell you. Are you ready? Its Clickbank.

Yep, Clickbank has over 2,000 products you can sign up to sell as an Affiliate Marketer and handles all the financial matters, collecting for the product, paying the person whos product you are selling and sends you your commission check.

Clickbank is one company I can, honestly, offers a good place to start and highly recommend.
