Seems as if you can’t turn on the TV or boot up your computer without having some sort of supplement being pitched. It should come as no surprise then that there is a great deal of money to be made in the supplement business, even if only as an affiliate marketer.

People are always searching for more and better ways to feel, look and perform at their peak. This is what many call an “evergreen” market-one that never runs out of new and repeat customers. As you might imagine, it can be incredibly competitive, but like any other market worth pursuing, there is a payoff that could be worth the time and investment to go after the supplement market.

Millions of dollars are being made every day from this business, and if you hope to grab a portion of that, you need a sound plan for not only the type of supplements you want to market, but also a good plan for marketing and getting traffic to your offers. Many people think they can merely slap up a Web page or blast an email and start rolling in cash, but that is far from the truth. It is a very competitive business, and to make an appreciable amount of money you need to do more than the minimum.

There are many different types of supplements sold these days. You can find products such as muscle building supplements, anti-aging compounds, colon cleansers, weight loss products, vitamins, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vital nutrients, and other nutritional supplements. They are always a hot topic that frequently hits all the major talk shows and news magazines, and these can cause quite a stir. Tapping into these buzzes is where the money is.

You can find many of these products on affiliate networks, such as Commission Junction and LinkShare, as well as a host of offers on the CPA (cost per action) networks, such as Hydra and PepperJam. Each offer may be different. Most all the time this is a form of banner advertising, and the creation is supplied by the merchants. Text link ads also work well, when you can get it into a relevant piece of content. There may be payouts for both leads and sales, but whatever the arrangement, the key will be in getting traffic to your offers.

Many marketers use email marketing which can be quite lucrative if you happen to have a responsive list. Other methods include pay per click marketing, classified ads (both online and off), search engine marketing, video marketing, blogs, article marketing, RSS Feeds, Podcasts, social networking sites, and more. Just about any way you can think to get visitors to your offers will work.

The supplement business can be a great way to make money from home. There is a hungry audience for your offers, and one that will be there forevermore. Make sure to gear up for a good effort and you’ll be rewarded!
