Become a ClixGalore Affiliate
As a Web Site Designer, particularly if the site is for your own use, you may be looking for ways to monetize your efforts. Perhaps the simplest way is to sign up to an Affiliate Marketing Scheme and display banners advertising goods or services that are related to your site and may be of interest to your visitors.
Most Affiliate Marketing Schemes are free for the advertiser (you) to participate in. You will be paid when one of your visitors clicks on a banner, if it is a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) scheme OR when your visitor clicks through to the merchant site and makes a purchase. If you get paid per sale you will receive a commission from the sale. This could be anywhere from 2% to 40% of the sale price.
The banner at the top of this page is an example.
I have looked at a number of Affiliate Marketing Schemes and have settled on ClixGalore. They have a powerful, yet easy to use, online control panel. They have a good range of merchants and products to choose from and keep me fully up-to-date with merchants joining the program or, indeed, merchants leaving the program.
Let's not fool ourselves, this will only EARN you good money if your Web Site receives thousands of visitors every day. In my experience about 1% of visitors will click on a banner. Of those perhaps a further 1% will actually make a purchase. Do the math; that means 0.01% of your visitors will buy something and earn you a commission.
I have several Web Sites, one of which gets well over a thousand visitors per day. I think I am doing well if I earn £100 per month from them. But hey, it's £100 I didn't have before.
Of the Affiliate Marketing Programs I have looked at, ClixGalore is the one I would recommend to someone starting out with online marketing.
