With This Business Model
Guest post by Connie Ragen Green

Are you using affiliate marketing as part of your online business model? This is where you recommend and promote other people’s products and services to your list, in return for a commission each time a sale is made. You can build an entire business using affiliate marketing as your business model, or simply add it to what you’re doing already for an additional stream of passive online revenue.

The best way to do this is by building a list. Start with a simple blog or one page website where people who are interested in your topic can go to find out more information. You will offer these visitors a free report or an audio recording where they can find out even more about you and your topic. When they enter their name and email address they will now have given you permission to include them in future mailings.

As soon as the first person joins your list, start writing to them to better connect with them and to find out more about what they want and need from you. This will be similar in any niche you choose, so jump right in and get started.
