How to earn thousands of dollars a month by using your website?
There are always myths in the internet that someone can earn over millions of dollars a year by just sitting at home and building their websites during the leisure time. And finally those guys found out that they got better paid by building websites than doing their own jobs.
Is this a joke or there is really someone out there can achieve that? I’m not sure about whether someone can earn millions per year but I think earning hundreds or even thousands per month is not that difficult to achieve by just using your leisure time!
First of all, you’ll need a website. But how to earn money? In recent years there are lots of companies launching the affiliates program to attract their target audiences and make sales. What is an affiliate? In short, if you send someone to a website which has an affiliate program, and if that person makes an order, you will get commission on that sale.
How high the commission will be? You may wonder. Different companies have different profit margins from their products and so the commission varies a lot. Usually the commission varies from 2% to 50% per sale.
I should choose the one who provides the highest commission rate? Am I right? No, very usual a very high commission rate would mean that the value of the transactions will be very low. Therefore the commission per sale would be very low. What you’d need to choose is a affiliate program with high commission, but not high commission rate.
Although there are thousands of affiliate programs, not all of them really provide a high commission to the affiliates. Asia-Product.com, who recently launched the affiliate program, really does provide a high commission to the affiliates. They are offering a very high commission rate, only 5% per sale. However, the revenue of their transaction is high since they are one of the largest wholesale electronics store in Asia and China. For example, a customer referred by an affiliate buys 10 car dvd players each costs $350. Then the affiliate will earn $350 x 10 x 0.05 = $175. If he/she can refer only one such customer a day, he/she will earn $175 x 30 = $5250/month, and there is no upper limit!
Sounds easy, right? Of course, you’ll need to be smart in order to attract traffic to your website. But by joining a few affiliate programs like Asia-Product one, you may become one of the myths in the internet.
