Yes; affiliate marketing is really the place to be in my opinion. In all the online jobs, you could find an element of affiliate marketing in one way or the other. It has gained so much prominence that hardly would you find a business website that is without a package for affiliates.
What is Affiliate Marketing at all?
In the lay man’s language, I would say that it’s nothing but online lead generation, referral or better still, selling somebody’s products. It is possible to create an affiliate account with an online merchant and place your promotional link somewhere in the web so that if somebody clicks on it, he will be directed to the merchants website, for instance Target.com.
Should this customer eventually make a purchase through your link, Target.com will reward you with a percentage of the sale. The commission varies from one merchant to the other and this program works well for both parties because it is a kind of win-win situation.
I am sure a question that will run through your mind by now is how does the merchant track your sales in order to reward you for your efforts? Pretty simple, a unique web address designed, carrying your affiliate details and is put in the URL solves the problem as it enables the merchant to track that sale to you the affiliate. Interestingly, majority of these affiliate links have got a piece of program called ‘cookie’ which is stored on the visitors’ computer, some for 3 or more days.
Some ‘cookies’ can even last for months or a year.
What the cookie does is that even if the visitor does not buy the product that very day but returns sometime latter to purchase it, the sale could still be identified and credited to your affiliate account.
The only thing I find as a limitation is that, after you have referred the customer through your link, any other thing that goes on is beyond the affiliate. However, I think that the advantages of making money online in this way far outweighs this limitation and it should not be a reason for one not to venture into the affiliate business or online affiliate marketing.
It is worth noting that it’s a genuine and very legal way of making money online and there is no limitation to the amount of revenue that could be generated.
The internet is enormous and an affiliate can actually make a fortune by reaching out to just a small fraction of it.
The most interesting and perhaps economical feature about the business of affiliate marketing is that it is entirely free to sign up with almost all merchant websites.

WHAT ONLINE MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE?
There are in fact many online money making opportunities and the number keeps increasing because the internet also keeps growing by the day. Popular among these are:
Paid online surveys
Type at home jobs (data entry)
Affiliate marketing
eCommerce Website business
PAID ONLINE SURVEYS
This is highly publicized and promoted online money making program today. The reason is that, it is easy and almost anybody understands the basis on which it works. Normally, the actual program also include other features such as
· Mystery shopping, get paid to eat, get paid to buy or test products, get paid to read emails, get paid to drive, get paid to participate in focus groups, get paid for your opinion, get paid to watch thrillers etc.
In most cases, a company somewhere would mail you the survey questions which you will complete and mail back to them in a given time and then you get rewarded in cash, gifts or something else depending on the company.
This looks straightforward without risk bur the question is can one succeed that easily?
Well there are a few legitimate questions that need to be answered:
· What is the number of surveys that you can obtain from these companies?
· The type of survey and the compensation offered
· Will your geographical location influence your potential earnings?
· Finally, you might be giving up your email to receive all sorts of mails leading to spam.
It is true that most of the survey companies post an average of 1 or 2 surveys per month hence to get a study flow of work, you must sign up with about 50 sites or more. It is worth noting that the surveys are conducted on products and services that vary from place to place meaning some surveys may not be available to people in certain locations and this is a fact.
Also, some surveys can take as little as 30 seconds to complete while others may take 30 minutes or more of your time. The package differs and it is your duty to choose what you like.
Is it worth 30 minutes of your time to get paid $5? That is as well something you need to decide yourself.
Unless you want to get into focus groups (which can bring a lot more money, but requires a little bit more time, be wary of who you give your phone number details to because being cold-called can be worse than spam.
Very often than not, I hear people complain that they sign up for these programs and end up with a lot of spam without receiving any surveys.
To guard against this, you must create a new email address specifically for the survey stuff. You also need to document properly, all the companies you will work for easy tracking of your earnings since they will pay you individually.
I must say that one must not expect to make huge online money will a program like this but with diligence; something the neighbourhood of $400-$500 is achievable.

GOOGLE ADSENSE TO BE MIGRATED INTO GOOGLE ANALYTICS!
Last week, I received a rather interesting hint from SEARCH ENGINE ROUND TABLE that I subscribed to sometime ago and I think it is worth sharing with friends! It goes like this:
Are you an ADSENSE publisher? Do you have a Google Adsense account?
If so, you must be in for a surprise, since there’s a rumor circulating that google analytics may soon include Google Adsense data. This information comes from thegooglecache.com (where the post has been pulled) and Amit Agarwal, and this has been subsequently reported on
This would apparently not be pleasant to everyone but it appears that many forum members are exited at this possibility.
One says that it might eliminate the hustle of comparing adsense impressions to google analytics page views which is certainly true. It’s better to combine the greatest features than to have them scattered throughout for sure.
The only concern is for those who share their analytics data with clients or colleagues; in this case those sharing analytics data may not want others to see their financial information. However, you can likely use a filter or google may soon come up with a good solution to hide this information from those sharing the analytics account.

HUMAN MOTIVATIONAL OPTIMIZATION FOR E-COMMERCE (HINT)
An article I read recently pointed to the fact most e-commerce online entrepreneurs spend so much time worrying about website traffic and rather tend to ignore customers who actually want to buy something. What do you think of this? In my opinion, it may be true to a large extent since most people doing business online believe that the number of visitors you get at your site is equal to your sales. This need not be the most important factor. Others are equally vital to the success of your online venture. Let's say you have an online business that sells shoes, the best way to display a shoe is on model that turns and shows or displays the shoe from all angles.
It should even be placed such that your audience can see the inside of it at just a glance. You can have an excellent looking shoe but when poorly displayed will look like an old filthy rag.
Even quality photography does not show how a shoe or item looks like when someone moves and such high quality photography is more costly than a short 15 to 20 second web video, so why not utilize some of these valuable techniques!
You also can also add some professional voice-over narration which can explain most of the details of your goods or items and these will over time prove to be some of the most effective ways of selling online.....
