What kind of affiliate marketing websites can I build?

OK, so you have already read my articles on what affiliate marketing is, and affiliate network, You have also read about how to get started. Your only problem now is to determine how you want to present your content and what kind of content you will use on your site.

There are many different ways to make an affiliate marketing website here are a few:

• Coupon and Rebate Sites - You offer online coupons to visitors along with other deals.


• Online "Mall" sites - Everything under the sun is sold here just like at your local shopping center.


• PPC - Pay per click (you spend money on per click advertising such as Google Adwords.


• Content Rich - You give information here. Basically reference material, tutorials, informative articles, etc.


• Product Review - You review actual products and services and you give details and honest ratings.


• Price Comparison - You show visitors the cheapest products.


• Product Catalogs - List products like a catalog.


• Mixed-Method website - You can mix and match the other methods to find the best one for the products and services that you're promoting.

If you are very knowledgeable about your website's theme then it would be the easiest for you to start with a content rich site. Write about your experiences and make tutorials, Make lists and how to articles. If you are not very familiar with your website's theme then one of the other methods would be the best. If you don't know what you're talking about, people will see right through it. No one needs regurgitated garbage info that you can find on thousands of other websites. Coupon sites are not difficult to set up, but they require constant updating because coupons expire so they'll have to be removed or replaced frequently. Mall sites require good organization and planning or they just become a bloated mess.

I cannot tell you which are the best for making money online with affiliate marketing. It depends a lot on your topic, your affiliate programs, and your knowledge of the topic. Experiment and see what works for you and duplicate that on new websites and change what does not work until it does.
