Hi Garland,

I have been studying affiliate marketing (google cash system) for a couple of weeks now, and I'm quite excited about it. I have started some test adwords campaigns without much success so far. I have 2 big questions.
1. is there still an opportunity out there to make money with affiliate marketing via adwords?
2. how should I use / manage the fact that I am located in Belgium (smaller less mature market)?

I will also start studying your materials now.

Cheers and all the best!

Hendrik.
 

Hello Hendrik,

Affiliate programs provide a significant amount of money for me each month.

While there is great potential for making money using affiliate marketing programs, it is difficult to make money by only using Google Adwords to promote the affiliate programs because of the rising prices of the cost per clicks.

In addition to using Google Adwords, you can also generate traffic by promoting your links through such marketing methods as:

  • e-newsletters
  • natural search
  • online networking

    Google Adwords should be only one part of your traffic building program, not the sole method.

    You can use your geographic (Belgium) expertise to focus on local e-newsletters, online networking, and search.
