10 Stupidly Simple Steps to Making Your First Affiliate Sale in 24 Hours For Free

Everyone needs to start somewhere in their internet marketing career, and the sooner you believe you can do it, the less time you'll waste. Information overload seems to be a big problem these days, so this guide is designed to be extremely simplistic. Obviously there are many tips and tricks along the way that could improve the process, and some tweaks would be required to make this more effective long term, but this is the bare minimum.

The Ten Steps

1. Go to clickbank.com and set up an account.

2. Choose a product with high gravity in a big market. This is for the purpose of our traffic strategy and trying to make this guide as simple as possible.

3. Grab your affiliate link for that product and save it somewhere.

4. Sign up to Squidoo. There are many other hosted sites, but I believe Squidoo gives you the most options for expansion.

5. Write a review of the product you have chosen on your Squidoo lens. Usually you'd buy the product to actually check it out, but I said free so I don't want to lie to you. You can get around this point by writing a review like you'd write a research paper. Check out what everyone else is saying about it, rewrite your research in your own words, mix it with some rewritten bullet points from the product sales letter, tack on an image of the product, and there you have your review.

6. Embed affiliate links frequently and prominently in the review. You get paid when people go through your link and buy the product. If they can't see it, it's a lot harder to click it. Don't go overboard though, and try to put them in logical breaks of the review.

7. Write an article. This should be around 350 words, related to the subject matter of the product. For best traffic, check EzineArticles for the titles and categories that are receiving the most views, and try and model your title in the style and categories of those articles. For reasons covered in step 9 we will not be using EzineArticles, but they have the most information to easily sample from.

8. Write a resource box or bio box talking about your Squidoo lens, what they'll get from going there, and link back to it. They will follow the link out of self interest, not charity.

9. Submit the article to directories without manual reviews. This will allow you to get traffic instantly instead of waiting for the review period. The drawback is these directories usually have less traffic. You can do a Google search to find these.

10. Repeat steps 7-9 ad nauseam.
