5 Ways to Grow Your Internet Affiliate Business Organically
by: Glenn Beach
Growing your internet home business organically means
there are similarities to organic farming. An organic
farmer knows that if he develops healthy soil, he
will have healthy plants. He also knows that "to
every thing there is a time and a season." You
can't harvest in the spring, or plant in the winter.
1. Nourishing the soil in preparation for planting
your business means identifying your expertise and
passion, and researching to find out what's "hot".
What is it you want to grow? What seeds do you already
have? What affiliate program suits you best? Find
the product or products you can endorse, the company
with a history that also offers the best commission
rate, the experienced team that will support and help
you all the way.
Next research your competition. Who are they? Why
would a customer rather buy from you? Study their
websites and find your niche. What makes your site
special? The beauty of the internet is that the "playing
field" is level. Big biz competes side by side
with small.
2. Promoting your business is like irrigating and
cultivating. How and where will you place ads? Keep
exact records of where you advertise and what results
you achieve. Prune back what doesn't work. Link to
like sites with good content.
3. Nourishment is adding articles, maybe a blog, tweak
that website! Search engines love changes. Nourish
your mind, too. Read the success stories of those
who have gone before,join a business organization
and connect with mentors, form partnerships. There
is nothing to keep you from joining your local Chamber
of Commerce. Swap ads with webmasters whose sites
complement yours.
4. Before you know it, you may be swamped and need
some help. The "organic" way to grow is
to ask family members to pitch in. They're already
expecting to share the wealth once it's harvest time
anyways, they'll probably be willing to help get you
there.
5. After you've harvested, at some point you will
think about planting new seeds. Once your website
is getting lots of hits and your business is blooming,
your articles are out there and your name is being
recognized, you can capitalize on your success by
developing a product of your own. It will seem natural
to turn your articles into a book, or develop an internet
business course or newsletter.
There's nothing easy or effortless about developing
your own business, but also nothing quite as exciting
or rewarding.
Time to start nourishing that soil...
