Affiliate Website

Ever read the back of a shampoo bottle?

Lather, rinse, repeat. That’s the instructions they give you, because that’s what works. Interestingly enough, these same instructions work well when it comes to building affiliate websites.

But first we have to build a site that is successful, right? And what, exactly, is a successful affiliate website?

That’s pretty easy to answer, if you ask me. It’s a website that makes money. It doesn’t have to be a lot of money, it simply needs to make a profit. Here’s how it works.

It can really boil down to a website that makes a dollar a day. That’s right, one stinking dollar a day. Let’s do some math.

If you want to make $3,000 a month, let’s say, than that breaks down to $100 per day. If you have created a website that makes a buck a day, then all you really have to do is build 100 more like it.

I can hear you groaning…. 100??? Are you friggin’ kidding me??

Nope, I kid not. This is the way to make a solid living via affiliate websites. You need to find a method of marketing that makes you money, first and foremost. You need to understand HOW you are making that money via your website, then you need to make sure that it’s consistent. Once you have that in place, duplicate it.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Just like it says on the back of the shampoo bottle. I know it’s kind of boring, but nobody said that making money via building affiliate websites was going to be glamorous. Just the opposite really. To make a living this way, it’s actually kind of boring.

But it is also pretty rewarding once you have some sites in place.

And it doesn’t have to take 100 websites to get there. This is simply an example. If you can get your site making a consistent income each month, then move on to the next site. Try to focus on the things that worked in the last website and add them in the new site if you can.

one word of caution though, and we’ve covered this here before. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT put all of your eggs in the same basket and promote the same affiliate program across every one of your sites. It can and will come back to bite you in the end. Diversify and limit your risk as much as possible. Build similar sites using similar programs if you want, but get your income from several different affiliate programs if at all possible.

And yes, this does include Adsense too. Don’t build a portfolio of adsense only sites either. Broaden your portfolio and the affiliate programs your websites promote. In the long run, you’ll have a healthy bunch of websites making you a good living.
