One common problem that many new affiliate marketers have is to find a lucrative market. Usually, highly experienced affiliate marketers know how to conduct research and spot opportunities on the Internet. This ability doesn't come easily. A lot of time is needed to experiment to learn how to find the right markets.

One quick way to pinpoint a lucrative market, is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing basically means that you will be promoting someone else products. If a sale is made, you make a percentage of the sale. If you don't sell, you don't earn anything.

The key benefit of affiliate marketing is that it's risk free. All you got to do, is to start driving traffic to the offer. All it takes is a hundred visitors or so, and you have all the data you need to make an assessment for the offer you are promoting.

This is the best way to test a market. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars developing a product, only to find that the market is not receptive to what you have to offer. Once you find a strong offer, make plans to penetrate the market.

Everything starts from your affiliate marketing efforts. Using this simple approach, you can even test out several markets at the same time. You get all the market research you will ever need in just a few short days.

After that, simply focus more on the profitable markets. Simply scale your business by repeating what you have just done to rake in more cash.

To scale your internet business, you may wish to build a list. It sound simplistic, but list building works.

Here is an example. Let's say you start off with just one product, and you sell it for $47. When you make a sale, you earn 47 bucks. If you make 10 sales, you make $470. To make more money, you have to acquire more customers. If you don't, you can't grow your business.

Let's assume that your customer base doesn't grow. Is there a way to grow your business? You can still grow your business by working on backend products. You are trying to sell to your existing customer base. That greatly increases the customer lifetime value.

There is a lifetime value for each customer - and that is the total amount of money that he is willing to spend on your products and services. If you make $2,000 profits just be selling to this same customer, that customer's lifetime value would be $2,000.

Now the business gets more exciting. Every customer equals a lifetime value of at least $2000 to you. You can spend $1000 to acquire the customer and still make a profit.

To make money, affiliate marketers must repeat the sales process. A sale is made, and a little bit of money is earned, but the customer has been neglected. Try to serve just one customer over and over again. It's much easier to sell to an existing customer than to sell to a completely new customer.

Use a simple web form to capture emails so that you can get in touch with your prospects again. You may earn 5 to 10 times whatever you are earning now.
