Cell phones and Blackberries are big business. Most people have one
or the other, and people are always looking to upgrade their cell phone,
or maybe get a Blackberry instead.
That means there is a huge market available to you to tap into if you
have the right website in place to do it with. While you will need a
certain amount of knowledge to be able to do it right, you don’t need
anything majorly impressive to stand a chance of making a decent amount
of cash from this particular opportunity.
Just remember that above all, people need phones and Blackberries…
What do you do when you are thinking about changing your cell phone?
The chances are you do what a lot of other people do: you hop online
and surf round for a while to read some reviews of cell phones. After
that you might even buy one online too.
This is where you can come in as a source of that information. If
you can construct a website that reviews and compares cell phones as
well as offering them for sale, you can make a lot of money without even
handling the phones themselves.
This is basically a chance to make some money from affiliate
marketing. The first step is to sign up with a site like Commission
Junction. There are hundreds of companies on this site that sell cell
phones, Blackberries and accessories, and they are only too willing to
give you a share of the revenue generated by any customers you send
them.
Once you are signed up with Commission Junction all you need to do is
apply to several of these companies. Acceptance is usually
straightforward and you can then use text links and banners and
everything else they provide on your own website.
Speaking of which, you will need to either design it yourself or get a
web designer to do it for you. Keep the design simple though – it’s
the information here that matters. You do need to make sure your site
looks professional though, since it will make a difference to your sales
if it looks too basic.
Don’t launch the site until you have several phone reviews on it, and
be sure to say others are being added all the time. Create some kind
of template so all the reviews take on the same look and feel. This
will make it easier for people to compare phones. You could also write
an article comparing cell phones to Blackberries and giving the
advantages of each.
The idea is that on every page you will have links to the websites
that actually sell the phones and Blackberries. Ideally you should use
text links within the writing, so for example the word ‘Blackberry’
would be a clickable link to the website that sells them.
You can also create pages which cover additional supplies for cell
phones and Blackberries, such as cases and straps for example. Once you
have searched around on Commission Junction for a while you will
probably find a number of products that would fit well with your site as
a whole.
The real key to success here is to make sure your own site has
worthwhile content on it. You don’t want it to appear like a website
which has simply been constructed to provide lots of affiliate links to
the products themselves. While that is your underlying aim, you should
make sure that you give real value on your site, otherwise you may find
you don’t get very much traffic.
When you launch your site, promote it everywhere you can. Grab some
free pages from sites like Squidoo and HubPages that you can write
articles and content for to discuss all aspects of cell phones and
Blackberries. Then link into your website and see how much traffic you
can generate. Over time your traffic should build and you will start to
see some revenue trickling into your Commission Junction account.
And that’s where the fun starts! One final point – make sure you
keep your site updated with the latest cell phone and Blackberry
releases. That way you will get even more traffic.
