Signing up for an affiliate program step by step process:

1. You join an affiliate program by signing up with a user name and password and URL (if you have a web site). On the sign up form you will provide your contact information, such as: your name, address, and phone number.
2. Normally you will need to furnish your Tax ID or social security number, if you are a sole proprietor. If you live in the US, you will have to fill out and submit a W9 form( taxpayer identification and certification form).
3. You may also choose your preferred method of payment, such as, check, Pay-Pal or direct deposit.
4. You may also be given the option to choose the type of affiliate terms you would prefer, such as: pay per lead, pay per click, or pay per sale.
5. The affiliate program may approve you automatically, or they may have to review you site or confirm via telephone before you are approved.
6. Once approved you will be given a unique affiliate user ID or code, which you will use to promote their  product  and it will also be used to track the sales that you generate through their program.
7. You may also be provided with a link to log into and review your stats  and sales.

You are on your way to becoming an affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing is an internet-based marketing practice in which a business (Affiliate or Associates Program) rewards affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts.

Simple explanation – Affiliate Marketing is commission based selling on the internet.

Commissions are based on the purchase price of the product offered (Pay per Sale), a set value based on clicks generated (Pay per Click), or by actions such as new user registrations or downloaded products (Pay per Lead).

Merchants benefit from partnering with affiliates because it is an inexpensive way to increase their sales, generate leads, drive traffic to their sites, and promote their products.

Affiliates benefit because these programs are free to join and it’s a inexpensive way to start an internet or home-based business.

First of all I am well aware of the “paid review” thing and I won’t be doing them, at least not now. Just so you know. I really don’t want to get into the paid vs not paid review topic. Since I am new to blogging I just don’t feel it’s best for me. If I ever do decide to engage in paid reviews, I will post some information on my review status.

Please don’t send me anything to review….cause that would be a paid review now wouldn’t it? Basically a paid review is when you are compensated in some way for reviewing a product, be it money, advertising, or the product in exchange for your review.

Being an affiliate marketer..I will have some affiliate links here and there to products….’cause well I would like to make some money and that’s the way I roll

There are a number of products I have used through the years and I will be  providing honest information about those products…the good, the bad and the ugly. I have been testing some new products and then there are the freebies. I’m all about FREE.

Let me introduce myself…My name is Renee’ Thronson and I am affiliate marketer. Basically what I do is sell other people’s stuff online on a commission basis. I have been actively involved in affiliate marketing since 2000.

Just so that you know that there is a real person behind this blog, I have included my mugshot.

I have made some money with affiliate marketing. It’s just not as easy as some folks would have you to believe. It is WORK.

I’d like to tell you a little bit about my background, mainly to prove that you don’t have to be a big computer guru to become an affiliate marketer. You just have to be willing to learn and to be persistent.

I’m 53 years old and during my lifetime I have worn many hats. I worked 25 years for BellSouth during which time I worked as a directory assistance operator, long distance operator and a sales and service representative. BellSouth is where I was first introduced to computers and was trained. Nothing fancy just using in house programs.

In 1990 I got my first computer, when my then father-in-law gave me his old Tandy computer after he purchased a fancy new computer with Windows 3.0. Slowly I graduated to bigger and better computers and software programs. I am totally self taught. So I feel that if I can master affiliate marketing and computing skills anyone with a computer and willingness to learn can.

Some of the other jobs that I have held during my life time include working out of my home and then later my own retail store as an airbrush artist and then later owning my own screen printing shop, Slick T’s Screen Printing. Those were the Corel years.

To supplement my income through the years I have also worked as a bartender. It doesn’t have much to do with affiliate marketing, but if you have the fixings I can make you a Walk Me Down Sweet Jesus drink After retiring from bartending in 2005, I established Pour Me A Shot, a web site which offers free shot drink recipes and bartending information.

I am also the owner of  Thronson Marketing, a website publishing company based in Biloxi, MS. which operates a network of web sites in various niche industries.

As far as my personal life….I have lived on the Mississippi Gulf Coast most of my life and yes I even survived hurricane, Katrina. I love art but don’t consider myself much of a painter…I prefer pen and ink. My interests are varied: art, listening to live music, computers, an occasional cocktail, reading, Shetland Sheepdogs, and jewelry making.

There you have it…Renee’…the short version or maybe it wasn’t so short.

Renee’
