I’m having a crappy day, so I thought I’d make a post about something that goes pretty well for me: online marketing. Online marketing is often called Internet Marketing, or Affiliate Marketing. I like online marketing, because it doesn’t have the negative connotations the other two. Hell, as often as not, I see people doing the virtual head shake of sadness at those poor internet marketers who never make a dime, and snarling at the idea affiliate marketers essentially work on commission.
In the end though, whatever you want to call it, it boils down to this: I find a topic on the internet that people are interested in. I also find a product or service that meshes with what people want. Then, I create content on that topic that helps to answer the question people online have, and I recommend or refer them to the product or service I’ve found. If they decide to sign up, purchase, or subscribe to whatever I recommend, I get a commission of sorts.
