Creating a Passive Income, the aggressive road to passiveness.

On this blog we will be focusing on developing a passive income generated via the internet. The internet has huge potential for growth and there is heaps of room for people wanting to make money online. There are other traditional methods, however the internet, once fully understood, can be implemented quickly, cost effectively and generate an income from sales globally. Compared to other forms such as a bricks and mortar retail store, real estate, gambling, royalties etc. Online businesses can make stacks of cash with a few clicks a day. Lets have a look at an avenue which is often spoken about and advertised heavily on the internet, but very rarely understood. Affiliate marketing.

Here it the Wikipedia explanation:

Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. The market has grown in complexity, resulting in the emergence of a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertisingmethods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC - Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, content marketing and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing is commonly confused with referral marketing, as both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to the retailer. However, both are distinct forms of marketing and the main difference between them is that affiliate marketing relies purely on financial motivations to drive sales while referral marketing relies on trust and personal relationships to drive sales.

Affiliate marketing is frequently overlooked by advertisers.^[1] While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.

Phew Complicated or what? There is good information here but if you are visual like me, this image gives you an idea of what the deal is with affiliate marketing:

Looking at the image you can see that in simple terms you create a website that gets viewed by possible clients which click on a button to buy something. You either make money by providing the product that is being bought, or you have a website that is the pipeline between the buyers and sellers. In old terms you could say you are a commission agent. So the more traffic you get on your website, obviously the greater the sales, more money Great!.

Simple eh? Well looking at this simple diagram it looks simple. it can be if you understand all the Wikipedia stuff, and god knows we read it a hundred times and still look blankly at the wall. We were wondering if there was an easier way and spent a long time looking for the holy grail. After being disappointed and losing money with systems all over the internet, getting promises that weren't worth the time or money we began to lose heart.

Is there a better way? Maybe you can't make money online? Can anyone help?
