Make money Affiliate Marketing

What is Affiliate Marketing?

The word is used to describe a relationship between one company and another. It is usually the term used for someone who refers a company or products to a third party.

The merchant is the company who is supplying the goods or service.

The affiliate is the middle person. The one who makes the sales happen and is the direct link between the merchant (company) and the customer.

Where to start

Affiliate marketing programs make the set up very easy.

You may of heard of programs like commission junction. It is where merchants register, and affiliates join to promote the merchants goods.

Before you join any programs you need to think about how you are going to sell the products or services.

This is what I advise

Get yourself a website and build it around the products you will be promoting.

Spending time on your marketing campaign is vital. You need to know you are able to get lots of potential customers.

Your marketing campaign will involve:

Research of keywords and your chosen niche

Search engine optimization (seo) techniques both on site and off site.

How much can you make?

You will get paid commission. So if you don't sell, you don't get paid.

This is why your marketing campaign is very important. If you get it wrong you are off to a non starter.

When your site and marketing campaign is launched. All you need to do next is paste your affiliate code on your site. Then you are all set to go.
