If you have been in the marketing industry for any length of time, then I am sure you have heard that affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and quickest ways to start making money.
With that said, there are many ways you can go about by promoting other people's products.
To me, one of the best ways is to set up an affiliate review site.
I say this because you can review the affiliate product, but you can also have other advertisements on your site making you some extra cash.
Not only that, but if you have an autoresponder account, which I highly recommend, then you can also gather names and e-mails so you can keep in touch with your prospects and promote other products down the line.
One of the easiest ways to set up an affiliate review site is by using WordPress or Squidoo.
Both are very simple and let you personalize it.
However, you will want to purchase a domain and host it if you use WordPress.
This is very cheap, but it gives you complete control of how things look.
You will not be able to customize as much with Squidoo.
But both are great places to start.
You will still need to find a product that you like and trust before you can make your review site.
Once you find a product, then you need to pick out a domain name.
With this kind of site, you can easily pick the product and put "review" or "honest review" at the end of it.
Then comes writing out your review.
I have seen many review sites, and one has always stuck out at me.
It felt like this woman had really used and tested this product before she wrote her review, which is recommended, but not necessary.
It felt like her review was personal.
She gave some good qualities and then one or two, not so good qualities.
This made it more unique to me.
I have also seen many people just take the product review straight from the affiliate webpage.
This is not a good idea.
Many people are most likely doing this, and will not be unique to you.
The more unique your page is, the better.
This may all sound overwhelming to you right now, especially if you are just starting out.
But there are many shortcuts you can take.
You can use software that was specifically made to create affiliate review sites extremely easy and quick.
I recently came across a WordPress theme specifically designed for internet marketing to help promote products in many different ways.
With the right tools or software, making review sites can be a breeze instead of a headache.
If there is anything that I can leave you with, it is to be unique.
Set yourself apart from other marketers by being yourself and be honest with your reviews and content that you share with other people.
