Passive Income
You have probably heard a lot of hype about how much money you can make with affiliate marketing, product networks and placing ads on your web site. Maybe you want to set up a site yourself, only to find that after purchasing the domain, forking over a few bucks each month for hosting, buying software or hiring a web designer to design your site, etc., that the piddly affiliate fees hardly covered your costs. Well, at Protea Media Management we would like to introduce you to ‘Passive Income’ web marketing using an Amazon.com affiliate site hosting Google AdSense advertisements.
There’s never been a more exciting time to be looking for ways to supplement your income by using the Internet. This is only true if you love change, embrace challenges, and are willing to learn new things, and listen to your customers. Let’s take a look at the shifting landscape and see what the future holds for web-smart marketers and passive income seekers.
The traditional mall will probably never be replaced by virtual malls, but it’s worth looking at the immergence of this phe¬nomena. Instead of walking from one store to another, con¬sumers are surfing from one web site to another, bookmarking and comparison shopping as they go. Today’s consumer is taking control by participating in creating branded messages and expressing themselves visually. They’re also personalizing the way they shop, interact, watch, listen, and communicate.
By effectively using Affiliate Programs and your own do¬main name, you can offer products that customers want, without carrying the inventory. You can now offer coupons and discounts on your blog, and with minimal effort. In most industries, next to real estate, inventory is your most valuable asset. “You can only sell what you have on your wagon” and when you ask most merchants, they will tell you that their most expensive piece of inventory is the one that they cannot sell. Unlike money in the bank, inventory doesn’t appreciate, it depreciates. Most companies are happy to pay you a commis¬sion to help them move their inventory.
Protea Media Management suggests that you concentrate on two passive income generating programs: Amazon.com and Google AdSense. We can assist in getting you going.
