What is Affiliate Marketing?
How you can make money from it?
Basically, it is one of the profit model or business model that is available to make money online.
And the best part about Affiliate Marketing (AM),you can make money without much of a setup.
Forget about creating a website, buying an autoresponder software etc.
Your main job is to refer people to a site where the products or services are being promoted.
Therefore the key to affiliate marketing is to Drive Traffic!
The site is managed by what we call the merchants.
The merchants will provide the necessary sales copy, follow up autoresponder emails etc.
Your job is to simply sign up with the merchant, and the merchant will generate a unique link for you.
This unique link will subsequently be embedded within the sales letter.
When people buy through your unique affiliate link, you will get paid commission.
The amount of commission depends on the products/services that you are promoting.
The merchant will decide the amount of commission being paid out to you but you get to choose the merchant in the first place!
A note on commission and that is to be clear if its a one time commission or a recurring commission.
This again depends on the type of products or services that you are promoting. It is important
to know that most affiliate programs are Free Of Charge, however there are a couple out there which requires you to become a member.
This is the essence of what affiliate marketing is all about, it is mostly about driving traffic
to your chosen merchants’ site.
