It’s Coming Together

I put together a simple landing page (super simple) to tell people what I’m offering and an order page that will collect payment for me. I had trouble getting the paypal button to show up and take payments. Some option I had selected:

I am not 100% certain what that does but I unchecked it and all the other stuff in the sidebar on my wordpress post and page writing area.

Anytime I went in and adjusted anything it took the Paypal button away and I had a tough time getting it put together even though the page looks very basic, which it is, but it took a lot of my brain power to get it to look this good.

The thing about affiliate marketing that I like and what I won’t have to worry about when building the niche sites is that the affiliate network handles the payment process. I don’t have to put paypal or any other order buttons on a site because the niche blogs are built to send customers to the offer and the offer is meant to convert.

Some offers are CPA which means you can get paid for simply getting a zipcode or an email. Some offers require preselling a product.

At times we will need to build a customer email list and sell products to people who’ve already purchased through our affiliate links or even products we’ve developed.

For example, I have to build a customer list of people interested in what I’m doing with these niche sites by writing about the process and showing what I’m doing and the struggles I am facing that could cause problems for others.

Now I’ve got a working landing page, an order page and a plan.

I have invested in some tool for keyword research, email autoresponder, domain research and clipart & Snag-it image editor for designs on my webpages.
