Is Having Your Own Website Necessary?

Is Having Your Own Website Necessary?
Making money online with affiliate programs has become very
popular over the past few years. More and more people are
taking an advantage of the Internet to earn more money. One
of the main questions, when a new affiliate starts with
affiliate marketing programs, is this:

"Is having my own website necessary if I want to make money
online?"

One of the best ways to earn an income online is to get
your own affiliate link, promote it, and when someone click
and buys what you are selling, you will make a commission
on that. This is really the best way for anyone who wants
to make extra money on the web from their own homes. There
are plenty of people all over the world who are doing this
and succeeding.

Having only a link promoted on the Internet is really a
very short term approach when making money online because
you will not be able to fully leverage on the traffic that
you are getting.

It would be a better idea for you to get your own website
with some sort of an opt in email form that people can
subscribe to.

Why? well most of the sales letters for different products
online have a conversion rate of about 0.80% to 2%. If you
bring in about 100 people to your own affiliate link, maybe
1 or 2 people will purchase the product and the 98 of those
people will just leave the page and never come back. If you
are really lucky, 2-5 of them might bookmark the site for
future consideration.

Now let's say that you have your own website. You can make
more money with these same 100 people. If you create your
own website and have some sort of an email newsletter opt
in form on it, there is a very good chance that about 20-30
people will subscribe to your list. Once you capture their
name and email, there is a good possibility that some or
all of the 20-30 subscribers will buy your product in the
future.

Another good benefit of having your own website and a list
of email subscribers is that when ever you have a new
product or program that you want to sell, you can actually
let your list know about it and this will bring in sales
for you even more.

That's why you need to have your own website. Only
promoting your own link without a website is a short term
goal but having your own website and email list is about
leveraging and having a long term successful Internet
business.
