Affiliate
marketing is a type of marketing that involves connecting
a website to a larger website for the purpose of marketing it. This
is done via links and banners that are published in the marketers'
websites.
Affiliate marketing has its own programs that are used widely.
Among them are the pay programs that describe how a business owner
is going to pay a marketer. One of them is Pay Per Click program
otherwise commonly known as PPC. The marketer is paid according
to the number of clicks made on the links, even when the referred
visitor does not pay a dime in the promoted website.
Why is this, you may wonder? Why do these business owners pay the
marketer? The marketer is paid for creating a new lead or referring
a potential customer. You would see the importance of this if you
are in business. Every potential customer is important and although
one may leave immediately on being directed to the site, one should
have known the existence of the business.
Apart from PPC, anther affiliate pay program is Pay Per Performance.
In this, the marketer is paid more than in PPC but from the commission
obtained from the referred visitor. This means that he or she has
to first pay fully for the products in the promoted website. Most
websites pay an average approximate 15 to 30 percent of the total
amount paid by the referral.
An affiliate may also choose to join two types of accounts;
multi tier and single tier. In multi tier, the affiliate can still
recruit other affiliates under him or her and earn a commission
from their overall earnings. For single tier, it is the vice versa.
One works alone without recruiting any affiliates.
Incase an affiliate is looking for affiliate programs; he
or she can easily find them in affiliate programs directories. In
such they are many categories of websites that are always looking
for affiliates to market them. Among the most common categories
include dating, technology, entertainment, adult, social etc.
These websites also offer different deals and it is upon the affiliate
to go through them and choose one that suits him or her. This is
in terms of the payments and the potential traffic to some of them.
If you have not yet started on affiliate marketing, you should
know that it is a very easy way to make money from home. Do not
waste any more time. Grab your mouse and do the necessary clicks
to create a website to get you started.
