Affiliate Marketing Is A Great Web Marketing Business Model

By Orval Winsman


While browsing the web you would have seen numerous ads on the different websites you visited. Many of these ads generate money for the owner when you click on them, even though you have paid for nothing. The people who place these advertisements are affiliate marketers, and literally thousands of them are doing it. Many do internet marketing full time and make a monthly revenue of five figures. Making what would seem such incredulous sums of money from the sale of other people's products isn't a fairy tale, it really is being done with affiliate programs.

The power is there to make a lot of money each month and you don't even need to have your own products to market. You only need to look for products, belonging to other people, and advertise them. Each time a transaction results from somebody having clicked through on your affiliate link, you get compensated. Let us say the product costs $70 and your commission rate is 50%. That means you get paid $35 whenever your link leads to a sale. You can make very good money, and have none of the headaches, like refunds, shipping or other problems with the customer. Your main task is to attract as many prospective buyers as possible to your site and entice them into clicking through on your affiliate link. Your function is the promotion of products or services, and every time an individual buys a commission is paid to you. You can be paid a commission fee of anything from 10% to 75%, depending on the specific affiliate program.

What makes being an affiliate marketer such a good business model is the ease with which you can generate money. You're not expected to have a product of your own nor must you produce a sales letter, on top of which you earn a lot of money. None of the problems that come with dealing with the customers, such as refunds or customer support, are anything you have to be concerned about. You will need to sign up for any affiliate program you want to belong to, and you'll get special links to recognize you as the affiliate. Any sales generated are immediately associated with you.

Even though affiliate marketing is an easy model for earning lots of money, you can as easily make nothing at all. Choosing the right programs to be a part of and the type and scale of campaigns you run are cardinal to your financial success. For your goal to become reality, you will need to get real people to visit your web site and view your products.

The product owners wish their affiliates to be successful, so they give them tools to work with. Examples include banner and online ads, and sales letters. As they have been shown to work, these tools must be used to maximize your success.
