Affiliate marketing is a type of
marketing that involves connecting a website with a larger website
for the purpose of marketing it. This is done by using links or
banners that direct traffic to the promoted website upon clicking
on them. It is a very good way of making easy money online especially
because you are paid for every click made on these links.
How do you start off in affiliate marketing? It is pretty
easy to begin on this paying business. The first thing you have
to do is create your own website. This can be done by simply visiting
a affiliate
web hosting site like Geocites or AOL. Such sites have predesigned
web templates that you can use to create your own website.
When creating your site, make sure you focus on a popular niche.
This is going to help you get the much needed traffic that will
work towards boosting your earnings.
After this step, the next would be visiting the best affiliate
program directories to look for websites that are seeking affiliates.
You are bound to find many categories of sites like dating, technology,
adult, entertainment etc. Each of the sites listed has its own offer
for affiliates.
Some, for example, offer to work under an affiliate pay program
known as Pay Per Click in which you as the marketer will be paid
for each click made on your published links. This is regardless
of whether your referral visitor will pay for the products in the
promoted site or not.
Another Pay Program a bit different from this is Pay Per Performance.
It pays more than PPC but the visitor you have directed has to pay
first. This is where you obtain your commission. Most websites pay
an approximate commission of 15 to 30 percent in this program.
As a website affiliate marketer, you can choose to also join any
of the two types of accounts: single tier and multi tier. In the
latter, you can still recruit other affiliates below you and earn
a commission from their total earnings. In single tier, it is the
vice versa. You simply work alone.
Once you get into affiliate marketing, be patient, consistent and
devoted in order to be successful. It may take weeks before you
start getting notice of your earnings. So do not panic and start
switching products in the name of looking for the most profitable
one.
