Affiliate Program Tutorial: (Step 4-5)
STEP: 4. Research affiliate merchants
Before you make a firm decision on a topic for your site, you'll need to do research to see if there are suitable affiliate products which match your topic.
You want affiliate merchants that have excellent products, excellent reputations and sites that look as though they're good at selling. You can search the AssociatePrograms.com affiliate directory for ideas.
Consider aiming for lifetime commissions.
If you're lucky, you'll manage to select a web site topic that has affiliate programs which pay lifetime commissions or residual commissions - the sort reviewed at LifetimeCommissions.com.
You'll earn repeat commissions when "your" customers make more purchases
STEP 5: Build a useful, interesting website on your niche
Here's an very important step. Many newcomer affiliates who fail do so because they have overlooked its importance.
Don't just build a website. Build a useful, interesting website on your niche.
One of the best ways is to build a site which solves people's problems. Useful sites also often help their visitors decide which products to buy.
Create a content rich, keyword-rich site, designed to be found in search engines.
Show your personality. Have a bit of fun. Be memorable. You need to connect with your visitors. Remember that people like buying from people they like.
There's no space in this affiliate program tutorial to describe how to build a website. For that, you'll need a good instruction manual.
If you're short of money, you can hunt for free information on sites such HTMLGoodies.
You'll save yourself an enormous amount of time and frustration if you take the plunge and buy a good instruction manual.
Here are the two best options:
(1.) For keen do-it-your-selfers, I recommend Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook.
Rosalind is a real been-there-done-that super affiliate.
Her instruction manual shows you how she builds very successful sites using web authoring software.
It starts right at the beginning, discussing topics such as myths about doing business online, mistakes to avoid, how to choose the best topic, how to choose the right domain name, etc.
The book, updated in May 2006, takes you step-by-step through the whole process.
One particularly useful feature is her explanation of how she achieves high conversion rates (visitor-to-sales ratios), achieving conversion rates of 4% or 6% while most affiliates are happy with 1%.
Another of the strengths of the book is her descriptions of a wide variety of ways to get traffic to your site. This is important - too many affiliates rely on just one or two traffic-generating methods. The more traffic-generating methods you have, the safer your business is.
Rosaland is genuinely successful, generating hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Now she's also a very successful author, with sales of more $1 million from her book, which is excellent value.
When you learn from her, you're learning from a winner.
Learn more about Rosalind's Super Affiliate Handbook here.
If you choose to follow Rosalind's advice, you'll also need a website-building tool. A very popular choice among affiliates is XSitePro, which is designed for people who want to build small, niche sites. XSitePro, or the new version, XSitePro2, isn't suitable for every type of site, so make sure you read our XSitePro2 review before you decide.(2.)
(2.) For affiliates who want to simplify things as much as possible and automate the tedious techie stuff, I recommend Ken Evoy's Site Build It (SBI).
SBI is a site-building, site-hosting, site-promoting suite of tools, all in one place.
Once you have SBI, you don't have to go scurrying all over the Net adding more tools and software. You have almost all you need in one package, so you can concentrate on the fun part - creating useful, interesting content.
SBI comes with a newly updated, truly comprehensive instruction manual, a step-by-step Action Guide, and a truly superb private forum where SBI users share information and help each other.
SBI is the tool I give my assistants. Take the Free Video Tourand you'll understand why.
Ken Evoy's instruction manual is doing my work for me. First it taught Rupert and then Ros how to build a high quality, successful, revenue-generating site. Now it's being used by another assistant to whom I outsource website maintenance.
You could build a site without SBI, but using it saves you time and effort by simplifying the process. It provides a recipe for business success.
SBI teaches you how to optimize your web pages so they'll be found in search engines. After building a page, you click the "Analyze It" button and it tells you what you need to do to improve it.
The SBI technique really works. Two of the SBI sites that Rupert built are included in the case studies on the SBI site.

Top questions and review of Site Build It
Many people wonder how you can use Site Build It to make and design a money making website without any web building or programming experience. Here are some top questions that one of our affiliates, Nicole answered for us. I hope it would set your mind at ease.
#1 Can you explain simply how Site Build It works?
In a nutshell Site Build It is an online/download program that guides you step by step how to turn a hobby/passion/interest/…into an online business through building a website.
This is not just some software that you are left to follow on your own but it is a program whereby you are supported all the time by real people either in the forum or in the SBI headquarters. You are guided every step of the way.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#2 How much does it cost?
It costs $299 USD per year. I've paid the same amount since I started in 2003! That works out at just under $1 USD per day. There are no extras to pay and no hidden costs.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#3 Can anyone use Site Build It and do I need to already know how to build a website?
YES anyone can use Site Build It and NO you don't need to know anything at all about building a website. Of course it helps but is not obligatory.
I knew nothing when I started (remember I was on a dial up connection and could just about surf the internet).
Site Build It have an incredibly simple block by block website building system. They have stacks of templates which you can customize and they guide you the whole way. Of course if you want to make a more complicated website or use your own templates, they allow you to do that too!
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#4 How do you actually make money?
I wondered that too! There are 2 main ways:
Firstly you might sell a product (or service) that you own or make e.g. homemade jewellery, eBooks, graphic design, language translation. You will physically ship or provide a service.
Secondly you might sell a product/service that you don't own - this is what I do. In this case you join forces with a supplier (I joined forces with various party product suppliers) and then if I refer people to them who then go on to buy their products, I get a small percentage of the sale. This is called "Affiliate Marketing".
Don't get scared of that word as Site Build It will explain it all in a very simple way and walk you through the whole process.
There are other ways to earn as well such as by putting Google ads on your web pages or writing articles for other sites plus many more.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#5 I have no idea what to build a website about. Can you suggest anything?
This is a question that I get asked all the time and I asked myself the same question when I started.
Don't worry though as Site Build It walk you through the whole process of how to choose something interesting and profitable to you.
For some examples here are some websites that other SBI'ers have built
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#6 How long did it take you to build your website?
I won't pretend that you can build it in a day or even a month. It takes time. Remember though you are not just building a website you are aiming to build a business, a business that earns you money.
Site Build It have what they call a "10 day" course to enable you to get your website up and running. Although they use the word 'day', a day sometimes took me several days or a week. It all depends how much time you can devote to it.
I started kids-partycabin in early 2003 and it took me about one month to put my up my first few pages but another 6 months before I felt I had a decent looking website.
I started my second website learn-french-today in 2007 and it was so much quicker to get going as I already had the experience behind me.
I never stop building them though as there is always something new to write about. I'm always thinking up new kids party games and or plotting and planning new kids party themes.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#7 How much money do you earn a month?
The big question that everyone wants to know and quite rightly too! You want to know that your time and effort is paying off.
My first year on both my websites I earned nothing. Remember the first year you need to build the foundations of your business and this is hugely important. You need to research and plan – Site Build It shows you how to do all that.
The second year I earned double of my Site Build It fee and each year after that my income has doubled.
I now earn around $1200 per month on kids-partycabin.com and am just starting to earn on learn-french-today.com as that is just a year old.
Some people earn much more than me but they probably put in more time and effort. You put in what suits you.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#8 How many hours do you work a day?
As I don't go out to work and my kids are no longer babies, I have more time than other work at home mums.
I probably spend about 4 hours a day at the computer but a lot of that time is spent gleaning information and tips off the Site Build It forum. Some days I don't work at all and other days I just answer emails.
-- Review of Site Build It! --
#9 What if I get stuck or I want my money back?
When I started 5 years ago, I relied on the Site Build support center - I had so many questions I wonder if they ever got fed up with me. They say not!
You are lucky though as recently they have set up a fantastic forum which is alive and throbbing with people like you and me, all trying to set up a web business. There are beginners and experts alike all asking every manner of questions. It really is the best forum I have come across.
Site Build It also have a 30 day 100% money back guarantee and after that you are refunded on a pro-rata basis, for whatever part of the year remains. Not bad at all compared to other programs.

#10 I am not sure if I am ready. Can I get some FREE stuff first?
There are lots of FREE Site Build It products. I love a freebie so definitely took advantage of them!
Below is a list of some of their free downloads so you don't need to commit to anything. I have only listed the ones you might find interesting.
I read lots and lots before I made the decision to go ahead. It's a bit scary at first so I really wanted to check I was doing the right thing.
