Editor's Note
As you probably already know, "affiliates" sell products and services
on their web site for a commission. But the question nowadays is how
can I build a successful site and generate money by using affiliate
links? In today's How Can I Build A Successful Site And Generate Money, we'll take a look at some successful
sites and the ingredients turning their content into commerce.
There's nothing better than making money on the web and no one knows
that better than Be Free, the company that powers the affiliate
programs for hundreds of top e-businesses like IBM, Staples.com
and barnesandnoble.com. In just two years, this company has grown
its client base to nearly 300 merchants who collectively manage over
3 million affiliate sites. We'll take a closer look into this
industry and offer ways for you to enjoy the affiliate-marketing
ride.
We hope that you find this newsletter interesting and useful.

When Jenny Wanderschied first started her parenting site back in the
spring of 1999, ChildFun.com was rolling along at the rate of 100K
page views per month. In just half a year's time, site traffic has
increased ten-fold. And the site's affiliate revenues from PlanetRx?
Lets just say that Jenny's happy to be a work-at-home Internet
entrepreneur and mother of three, with nary a thought of returning
to the drudgery of the 9-5 world (not to mention a grueling commute
through the Minnesota winter).
Scott Hermanson launched WinDrivers.com back in July 1997 while he
was a PC technician looking for a way to make his life easier. These
days, he's making things easier for the lives of millions of computer
users worldwide. "I always had a tough time finding the Windows
drivers I needed online," says Scott. "I built WinDrivers.com as a
portal to provide links to the drivers on the manufacturer's Web
sites." Scott's site, supported by CNET affiliate links, soon became
so successful that he sold his computer store partnership and went
to work full-time on the Web.
Long time film buff, MaryAnn Johanson (The Flick Chick), the self-
proclaimed "girl movie critic" behind The Flick Filosopher, single-
handedly runs one of the most impressive movie review sites on the
Net today. The real, make that the Reel.com, story here is that the
right affiliate program can turn a hobby web site into something with
a life (and a revenue stream) all on its own.
What could be better than being paid to do something you love to do?
The new economy and the affiliate marketing revolution makes it
possible. Just ask these successful affiliates, all partnering with
some of Be Free's leading e-businesses. Be Free offers some tips to
building a successful site supported by affiliate links:
- Turn your hobby into a revenue generator - If it's building swing
sets, growing tropical plants or reviewing archeological digs,
become an expert and partner with e-businesses that sell relevant
products or services.
- Invest a little time and reap big benefits - Be Free's technology
makes it easy for you to save time maintaining your site with easy
to generate banners, promotional links and real-time tracking
reports. Spend the time you save researching your topic and become
an expert.
- Partner with Top E-Businesses - Choose your affiliate partners
wisely and only partner with the relevant programs. Don't overwhelm
your visitors and be conservative when placing links on your site.
- Demonstrate your Internet Savvy - Impress your friends, parents or
children who said the Internet was a waste of money by becoming an
overnight Internet entrepreneur.
- Give your site time to grow - It's true, you can build an
e-commerce enabled site overnight, but you can't build traffic
and sales without a little patience. Allow time to test different
banners and switch them around often to determine effectiveness.
There's absolutely nothing stopping you from living a life like
Jenny's or quitting your day job like Scott or turning your passion
into a career like MaryAnn. Affiliate marketing is easy, it's free,
and it works.
