What is affiliate marketing

You will understand the affiliate marketing program with the following examples:

You have set up a website on how to train a dog, and put an e-book ad on your site about how to training dogs. If someone clicks the ads link and buy the e-book, the 70% of its price will be your commission paid by the seller.

If your website is about health, you can put all kinks of health tips on your site. You can paste a snippet of code to your website; this code will display ads relevant to health content. You will receive income if someone clicks the ads regardless of whether he is buying products.

If you are a yoga enthusiast, you can send e-mail to people regular. The message includes some experience of yoga practice, and you can also promote the merchant’s products when someone clicks the link in the e-mail and buy the product, you will earn a 100% commission.

Some Internet merchants can make over 1000 dollars per day just by promote other people’s products.  It sounds unlikely, but it is indeed true. See the following Collection Figure:

In the later curriculum I will introduce more success stories of affiliate marketing to you, so you are convinced that success is possible.

Then we talk about the substance of affiliate marketing.

 What is the affiliate marketing?

 Action paid: the action is sales, clicks and registration. When you serve for the merchants or advertisers as a member of them, you can get a commission immediately when visitors make any of the above acts.

 It is legitimate business: belong to a branch of network marketing, when you have no products to sells, this is a good way for you. It is a successful business model verified by many people.

 A business model established for a long time: affiliate marketing has been established since the Internet was used for business. The largest affiliate marketing- Amazon.com was established in 1996.

 It is based on the Internet: you can promote those products online instead of sell them door to door.

 To everyone: do not have any special skills because the affiliate marketing is action paid, most of them open to all. You can become an affiliate person whether you are a novice or a professional marketing man. All of us learn the same knowledge, and stand on the same starting line.

 Knowing what the affiliate marketing is, you should know what it is not.

 It needs not create or sell your own products. It will be a great risk to create your own products to sell. You must invest money in it and spend a great deal of time doing it at the beginning, which needs sales and logistics support. All of this needs accumulation for a long time. In the affiliate marketing, what you need to do is to send clients to the merchants, and reduce many risks. In my opinion, you should be a good Internet salesperson before becomes a creator of the products. I know a lot of “affiliate” has already begun to create their own.

 About sex, drugs and gambling: there are several ways of the promotion of the product: pet care, language study, music education, health products, psychological counseling and so on.

 Cheating: The real network marketers should learn Internet marketing techniques, should not waste time on cheating. How long the method of cheating can last? It is not worth the candle.

  Ten reasons for you to become an affiliate marketer:

 1. Do your own boss: have the opportunity to create your own products, and do your own interest and have more time to spend with family, or travel where you want to go. This is the most affiliate marketing people’s lives.

 2. There is no risk. You can become affiliate marketers only with a very little cost. It needs not much investment, only the cost of domain and host. (Domain: $10/year, host: $3-10/year). In short, you only need a simple website. This is a very small investment for a business person.

 3. Everyone can do affiliate marketing. All the man with different ages, different countries and different backgrounds can join affiliate marketing. You do not need to be a web design expert, author, marketing master, which can be learnt as long as you have some time each day to study.

 4. There are hundreds of products and you can choose different markets and different ways to promote them.

 5. There is no need to build your own products. The man who has his own product need in-depth study on the market, and spend a great deal of money to develop products, which have more risks. Affiliate marketing only need you promote products, at any time you can alter the product.

 6. You need not be limited to a market. Many affiliate marketing experts have many websites with different topics, and each theme corresponds to a market. Do not put all your eggs in a basket.

 7. You need not be limited to a specific commodity. If the product sells badly or you are not interested in it, you can easily change the links on your website, try to sell other products.

 8. There is no need to participate in product logistics and distribution. The merchants will deal with it.

 9. You can make some money. As I said earlier, it is a good profit model.

 10. You will have passive income. So you can have time to do what you really like. When you have earned enough money, you can delegate your work to other people like all managers. Most successful network marketing experts outsource his works to other person, and he only does the most important job.
