  ..(can close the account after 6 months and still keep the cash!)
• $200 for opening a Chase business checking account

  … (similar to paypal)

However, for those of you who are always looking for new ways to make money, here are 2 ways you can turn these freebies into instant profit streams:

I am about to reveal EXACTLY what I personally do to make quick cash when money is tight!

So stay tuned… I'll reveal all in a few short days.

Countless online entrepreneurs have achieved success through affiliate marketing. In fact, selling online as an affiliate is one of the easiest ways to start an internet-based business. With low start-up costs and no need to carry inventory or deal with customer service issues, becoming an affiliate has become an attractive option for people who want to break free from their day job and work for themselves.

Making money as an affiliate is fairly straight-forward… choose a product to promote and then get your website visitors or newsletter subscribers to click your affiliate link and purchase the product. When they do, you get paid a commission. Although getting that commission is not difficult when you apply effective marketing strategies, there are ways to increase your profits with little or no extra effort.

For example, let’s say you decide to become an affiliate for “Product A” and in order to sell this product you build a web page to promote its benefits. On this web page you discuss the benefits of “Product A” and do some pre-selling. Then you provide your affiliate link so your website visitor can either buy the product or get more information from the vendor’s website.

One way to increase your profits immediately is to make sure that “Product A” pays the most commission when compared with other competing offers. If two products are essentially the same, why not promote the one that puts the most money in your pocket?

Here’s another thing to consider… make sure the product you choose to promote has a high customer satisfaction rating. Because most vendors reduce your commission by any product returns, a high return rate will reduce your commission income significantly. More importantly, you stand to lose trust and credibility in the eyes of your customer when you promote inferior products.

Another strategy to increase affiliate commissions is to look for residual offers to promote. Let’s say “Product A” is in a niche where there’s a membership site offering the same type of information… but instead of a one-time commission you get paid a percentage of those membership fees each and every month. Now there’s a way to increase profits without doing any additional work!
