I made my first dollars online back in 2005. I still remember it. It was one of the best feeling’s I’ve had to date. Once you see that first bit of money trickle into your account, it makes you realize “I can actually do this!”

I made my first dollars by promoting an affiliate product through a viral report. I made about $50 in total for about three hours work. Not much, I know. But it showed me it can be done. And the thing is, I did EVERYTHING wrong.

Here’s a quick overview of the process:

1) Find a product to promote. I’ll use an example of a rebounder. You know, those little trampolines that people use to lose weight? Sign up with the affiliate programme and get your links to promote a few rebounders.

2) Write a report promoting the product but still providing decent information. So, for this report I would write about how to use rebounders to lose weight. The report only needs to be about five pages and throughout I would scatter my affiliate links for the rebounders.

3) Distribute as many copies of this report as you can (without using underhand tactics or SPAM).

Sounds easy, doesn’t it?

When I did it first time, I got it all wrong. I wrote in the IM niche (when I hadn’t made any money myself), the report was very poor quality, I promoted a completely unrelated product and I used underhand tactics to promote… BUT, I STILL made money!

Do you see how easy this method can be?

I recommend promoting physical products for this method. For example, you could write a report about how to take the perfect photograph and then at the end recommend the best digital camera for photography. Another great report would be a ‘review’ report. You could review the top 10 best digital cameras, or the top 10 golf clubs. The people who download this report are already interested to buy and it’s likely they’ll buy THROUGH you and you get the affiliate commission.

This is an easy way to make money online. It’s by no means a long term method. But, if you want a few bucks, give it a go!
