Affiliate Marketing - An Introduction To The Easiest Way To Making Money On
The Internet
by R Guyver
If you are looking to make money on the internet then one of the easiest
and most lucrative ways is Affiliate marketing.
Basically you sell other companies products for a commission ranging from
2% up to in some cases 75% of the sale price.
The range of products are as wide as your imagination most online
retailers have an affiliate scheme so you can refer customers and receive a
commission on items such as cameras, holidays, electrical goods or even
online betting / poker sites. These tend to offer in the region of 5%
commission on sales.
You can also sell a huge range of E-books or E-based products which often
offer 50% upwards commission so can be very lucrative.
Most companies running an affiliate scheme will pay you a percentage of
the sale price but some companies especially online casino offer you a
choice
i) a standard one off payment for each new customer signing up with them
or
ii) a percentage of the profits that they make from the customers you
introduce to them. This can be a bit of a dilemma - take the one off payment
or wait for potential future residual income - if you introduce a couple of
clients who go on to become high rollers then you could be on for a number
of years of a nice regular income.
Affiliate products can be marketed on your website, in your blog, or as a
link in your E-mails. All you do is sign up to the programme of your choice
(nearly always free to do ), you are then give an link of code which can
easily be cut and pasted onto your webpage, blog or e-mail. Your customers
then click on any link they are interested in and get automatically
transferred to the landing site of the company who's product you are
selling.
A Cookie or bookmark is automatically stored on the companies website so
they can ensure that any purchase made by your customer is credited to your
account. Easy!
Well, it is easy but then the question is do you want to make a few extra
pounds ($'s or €'s) each week or build this into a serious part-time or full
time business? If it is that latter then you need to look into marketing
your product, website or blog etc to reach a much wider audience. How to do
this is a whole subject in its own right.
