While people are browsing around the internet,Why Do People Complicate Internet Marketing? 3 Tips to Explain the Mystery of Online Marketing Articles they might come across some sites that make big promises on how to cash in on the web and they think that because the sales letter they just saw says they need to unload lots of money and reinvent the wheel to make lots of cash, they give it a go and end up in the red in the process and you can bet they never want to try to make money have a business on the internet ever again. It is a vicious cycle that we see every day.

The truth is that it does not have to be this way. Making money on the web is not a secret, but if you have no idea how to do it, let me suggest three tips that will be invaluable to you and give you the ability to start generating profits online very quickly and very easily. Ready? Let's go...

Research and find out what shoppers want! No, I'm serious. Determine what it is that people need. How? There are several ways. You could go to amazon.You can go over to shopping.yahoo.com and see what is on their hot sellers list for any category. Go over to eBay and determine what the hot items are on The Pulse. Go to any of your favorite shopping sites and see what is on special or what their bestsellers are and you will have some really good ideas of what people are looking for.

You could also go to Clickbank and find several thousands of digital products that people are selling online that should give you a ton of ideas for what people are buying. Tip, at Clickbank, the higher the "gravity" the more popular the product.

Tip #2 – Now a lot of internet marketers would tell you to find distributors so you can source physical products that people are looking for online. While that is a good idea and I myself started out that way for my first internet marketing business, I'm going to show you something so much easier that even you can put into place today. Rather than contacting distributors and actually selling products to people it is so simple to just recommend other marketers products and bring in a commission off of the product that you suggest. I have seen commissions ranging from 4% to 75% that the seller will pay you just forgiving a recommendation for his or her product.

Let me tell you what is great about this marketing method is that you do not have to deal with the headaches of shipping and handling, replying to emails, bothering with returns or any of the common headaches that come with selling your own product.

Tip #3 - I suggest starting off recommending a single product on a blog or website. This is important because it will make it easier for you to find out everything you can about the product to recommend. In all actuality you do not even need to have your own website or blog to use this money making technique; you can piggyback off of other websites and still make really good money and have a great time all along. Once you have found 1 or two products that you would like to recommend you want to be sure that the seller has what is called an affiliate program or partner program. These are very common terms that simply mean that the owner of the website has a system in place that will pay you commissions when you refer a sale.

Believe it or not these business owners are ready and waiting to give a commission to anyone who is willing to tell other people about their products. There are affiliate programs for just about any type of product you can think of. One of the coolest things about this method is that it can be pretty fun. Believe it or not there is one more thing that is even better; anyone can start an online business like this for under $5.

The more you start doing this, the better you will get and online marketing will become clearer. So why don't you let the aura of secrecy fade away into cash in your pocket!
