AFFILIATE MARKETING

 



Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. it's simply a process of promoting a company's products or services for a commission. this is not an overnight success kind of online job and those who wish to be involved in it should be patient all round. there are 3 main things that you need for you to be successful : a product to promote, website and a targeted traffic.



HOW AFFILIATE MARKETING WORKS

• the affiliate signs up to the merchant/ business affiliate program.
• the affiliate uses an affiliate link whenever they mention the merchant on their website.
• a customer visits the affiliate's website.
• the customer clicks on affiliate link.
• a cookie gets dropped to the customer's computer.
• the customer buys a product from the business website.
• the business checks for an affiliate cookie that belongs to the affiliate and logs a credit for the sale commission according to the affiliate's agreement.
• the business makes reports available that show the affiliate the traffic and sales from the affiliate's link.
• At the end of each payment period (monthly) , the business sends affiliate payment for all the sales referred.

this might sound is , but actually isn't. some affiliates earn from $900 per month that is if you got a commission for $30 dollar for every single product you market. beware of scams and be sure to test the waters first before getting into this new lucrative business.
GOOD LUCK.
