AFFILIATE MARKETING

With the advent of the Wide world web (WWW), the use of the internet to enhance business transaction as online market came into being. As a result, buying and selling of goods and services online as a marketing type became paramount as more companies move their goods and services online due to largely its efficiency, quick and fast execution of business deals. But this does not bring to an end the existing physical market (offline marketing) which still exists in pari passu with the online marketing.

Market is a place where people meet to buy and sell goods and services and the process of exchange of goods and services for a consideration (money) is known as marketing.

Marketing can be direct or indirect. Direct market involves direct physical contact of the buyers or sellers of the goods or services. While indirect market does not involve the buyers or sellers of the goods or services having physical contacts but only referring buyers or sellers to the product(goods or service) for a commission, as is in the case of Affiliate market or referral/multi-level marketing.

Affiliate market therefore is a type of indirect online market where you help in promoting other peoples product or services for a fee payable as commission. This fee is usually based on a certain percentage of sold goods/service purchase by the referred buyer or based on number of persons referred to the website.

A lot of companies online have a numbers of websites where they promote or shop for their products as a result they find it compelling to employ the services of others to help promote and sell their products/services for a fee, this translates into what is known as affiliate marketing.

Affiliate programs (also called Referral

Programs or Partnership Programs) are essentially

Commission-based income opportunities. With affiliate marketing, you get paid for sending customers to other company’s websites. Affiliate programs are widely believed to be the easiest way to start making money online.

When you sign up to become an affiliate for a company, you receive a special link with your own unique affiliate ID embedded into it to promote that company’s product(s). Next, you simply add your new affiliate link to your website, newsletter or anywhere else. Then when people use your link to get to the other company’s website and subsequently buy a product from them, you earn a commission. You benefit from the commission earned and the affiliate company benefits from sales which would NOT have otherwise have been without your promotional efforts. For example, if you’ve ever gone to a website and seen links to clickbank, these are affiliate links. If you click these links- and end up buying the product on the next page, the webmaster whose website you originated at will earn a commission from clickbank. Commission paid by affiliate companies differs; you have to look out for a well paid company before you sign on for their affiliate program, the commission ranges from 0.20% – 75 %. Affiliate marketing is a money spinner in online business and with little or no capital one can start it at the comfort of their homes. And the best way to learn about affiliate marketing is simply to sign up for a few of them yourself and do some marketing. So what are you waiting for, join now and start smiling to your bank monthly with loads of cheques.
