Should Boomers Consider Affiliate Marketing?

Posted: Oct 30, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

For boomers considering retirement, unless they have a very good pension plan from their employer, or have invested
wisely in a 401K or IRA account, they will probably need some kind of supplemental income to help with social security.  Affiliate marketing is a wise choice to consider, since an affiliate usually receives up to 75% commission on their sales.  

Becoming an affiliate is very simple, all you need to get started is a computer with internet access.  A large number of retailers have affiliate programs which will allow you to sign up for free.  To check, just scroll down  to the bottom of  their website and see if it has an affiliate link, click on the link and sign up to market their products.  Every customer you bring to their site that makes a purchase, you earn a commission.

Most boomers are very adept at using a computer and are very familiar with using the internet.  They know how to navigate through websites  to find what they are searching for.   With a little help and training you can build your own website and start driving potential customers to your site by using article marketing.


Article marketing is writing articles that you submit to the many directories on the internet in an attempt to drive customers to your website to make a purchase.  Thousands of internet marketers are taking advantage of article marketing as a free way to drive traffic to their websites and to the merchants sites that they are affiliated with.  Article writing is one of the best techniques to use in order to obtain free search listings within the large search engines like Google and Yahoo.  

Pay per click marketing is the single most effective way to obtain conversions and leads.  It allows you to target specific keywords for placement within the search results.  The great thing about PPC is that you can target audiences precisely by using keywords that people search, and that could be tied into your promotion, thus increasing the quality of your traffic, and increase your chances of a sale.

After I retires is when I started in affiliate marketing, (May 2010).  I signed up with the Wealthy Affiliate University and it has been quite a learning experience.  What they have to offer for a very economical price is phonominal.  Since I joined I have created two websites which are starting to provide extra income, and I now have over 100 videos on You Tube selling products and creating another income stream, and believe me, I have only scratched the surface of what is offered at WA.  I continue to build my home business daily and success is now a given.

If you are interested, and this sounds like something you might like to try, you can log in to my website and sign up for my FREE "Mad Marketing Program".  It's absolutely FREE, and will provide you with 10 lessons to get you started in affiliate marketing.  You can start earning extra income by the end of the 10 lessons.  Try it and see if you like it, and if it's for you, you can join Wealthy Affiliate, and start your own home business as I have done for the future of my family and me.
