Yeah, I am sure you have heard of him somewhere, sometime. It is that character John Chow from JohnChow.com. Is he really as good as he says he is? Does he really make money? Is he cheating? Or is it hard work. I would call it a little bit of all of it. But, in reality it is just plain “right place, right time” matched with hard work. Here is the front page of his self-proclaimed source of reliance for making money on the internet.

 

 To me, at first glance all I see is a page filled with Affiliate marketing buttons and advertisements. That is where he claims to receive most of his income. If you sift through posts you will find affiliate links to a wide variety of advertisers. But what he does is clever. By integrating posts where he reviews the products and the affiliate link, he making money easy. Where he earns a “buck” is when someone clicks after reading the article. This is a good way to look at things on the Internet. Get yourself into a mind frame where you can write about something that someone sells. Infact, if I had an affiliate account with Johnchow.com (does he even have one yet? he should), I would make some sort of money writing this article and convincing you to go look at his page to see what I am talking about.

Affiliate marketing can be a very rewarding to someone that has a achieved great success at it. I suggest the first thing you should do is go out and make a site that reviews some sort of consumer electronics good. Say the Apple IPhone is a perfect example. JUST START WRITING!
