On this beautiful May 1, 2009 – one that is seeing protests around the globe about the on-going financial crisis - ABC News had a financial expert on their Good Morning America Show to discuss several ways we can all put a little more jingle in our pockets.
Now none of these are going to let you retire early…but they may help ease the pain of this current economic downturn.
Melody Hobson, the chair of the board of trustees at Ariel Investments suggests affiliate links on your personal website as a way to earn a little income on the side. She said that rather than becoming a human billboard, a great idea is to turn parts of our Web sites into a billboard. Businesses can profit from this as well!
She cautions against using too many affiliate links, but her example of Amazon Books estimates an individual can earn between $50 and $160 per package.
So what’s the catch? Well the catch is having the Web traffic to your site to actually convert affiliate sales. Just having your family and friends, or a small number of customers visit your site without clicking through and buying a book won’t bring in the cash. For that you’re going to need exposure, but where to get it?
Well one way you can get great online exposure is from a little SEO, or search engine optimization.
What that means is improving how your website appears in a search engine result for a given search term.
Your website and business can be about anything – parenting, knitting, exotic golf courses! But if you spend a little time working on improving how a search engine indexes your Web site, you can see a real growth in online traffic and potentially some incredible financial results from affiliate links!
