Choosing Between Affiliate Marketing and Google Adsense

What Is Affiliate Marketing

In a nutshell - Affiliate Marketing is about selling other peoples goods and making a living from this.

Clickbank is the perfect place to look for goods to advertise on your website or blog. You reguster as an affiliate for free and then start promoting.

If you decided or are capable of building your own quality products to place online, would you be interested in being able to offer it for promotion to 100,000 other affiliates?

I think the answer is YES

As you can see by this basic example, you could potentially make a small fortune each and every month using affilaite marketing techniques.

If you are selling other peoples products on your website you could make commissions from different products that you advertise.

If you have products of your own, you could place them with Clickbank and have other affiliates making money for you. A win win situation.

What Is Google Adsense

Google adsense is about building niche websites and adding google adsense adverts to the pages. This is very simple to do with the right software and you can start earning straight away, however there are downfalls.

The money you earn from adsense has been reduced dramatically over the last 2 years. You will earn the odd dollar here and there when you first start up, may be not even a dollar in your first 6 months.

Why are there blog adverts on my web pages?
You can also be blacklisted by google. If your website is static or fails to attract visitors google will place blog adverts on your pages. This is a sure sign that you are doing something wrong, and an easy way for you to get no cash payments at all.

Be very careful and choose wisely when inserting your adsense ads.
