LEGITIMATE AFFILIATE MARKETING PROGRAMS

Do you want to find a legitimate affiliate marketing program that actually pays and in most cases are free to join? If you do some research, you can find affiliate marketing programs on your own without paying a monthly fee to a “guru” website! Let’s get started. We’re going to show you how to do some research to find a program that interest you or many programs which you can enroll to start a legitimate affiliate marketing online business.

The following steps should be taken to identify an opportunity that fits your interest, and can be applied to any industry that has affiliate programs.

Do a search on Google for “affiliate marketing programs” which will show approximate over 10,400,000 results as of this writing. Way too broad to start your research.You should think of some product or service that interest you as you can take a personal interest in it, thus more likely to succeed. Let’s use “wireless communications”. This search resulted in 5,200,000 results, still way too broad.

Use the keyword phrase “cell phone programs”. A lot better, only yielding 17,000 results, but still too broad.

Let’s dig deeper and use the keyword phrase “cell phone affiliate programs”. Perfect, only 487 results! See, the idea is to find that niche keyword phrase that does not have a lot of competition. Why, because you have now narrowed down a broad market “wireless communications” in to a niche sub market which will yield more of a target customer ready to buy.

Out of these 487 potential programs we came across a website by the name of Associate Programs.com which does research on affiliate marketing programs. In fact they have 10,587 programs in many various industry. So we went to a category for ‘phone services” which yielded 177 affiliate programs with ratings and reviews. A majority of these programs are free to join. You’ll have to pick and choose, do your research, and read the reviews before you narrow down something that interest you.

Through the process of this research we were able to narrow down two affiliate programs that went together, but paid out separate commissions. On our next post we’re going to do a product review on TMI Wireless.com and Pace Butler Corporation. One provides commissions for the sale of cell phone programs, while the other provides a commission for the trade-in on the obsolete cell phones. Both interesting programs that we think go hand in hand.

My biggest recommendation is to subscribe to Associate Programs.com, it is free, and spend some time reviewing the many different industries they have listed. Or, you can do your own research and dig up the perfect affiliate programs that interest you.
