What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective ways to make huge profit online. It is a cooperative effort between merchants and affiliates. Basically, anyone can sign up FREE with a merchant as an affiliate and then drive traffic to the merchant site. When someone makes a purchase from the merchant, the merchant will pays the affiliate a percentage of the sale price for bringing the customer to him. The merchant will pay the affiliate only when a customer clicks on the product link and makes a purchase.

Read this example:
In the off-line world, you can make money by selling products like cars as a sales person, if you are good in that. But if you can’t talk like a sales person, you can still make money by bringing a prospect to a car sales person, who will pay you a commission if he manages to turn that prospect into a customer.

In this case you are making money by referring a prospect to the sales person. This is the same as an affiliate marketer.

Affiliate marketing programs are described as a win-win situation for both the merchant and the affiliate because of the pay-for-performance scheme. Both the merchant and the affiliate enjoy some benefits in affiliate marketing. There are many benefits on the merchant's side. It gives the merchant a wider market in which to advertise a product or service. Affiliate marketing will give the product or service the maximum exposure that it may not get with other traditional advertising techniques. The more affiliate sites a merchant has, the higher the traffic, which can convert to sales. Affiliate marketing is the equivalent of having an army of sales people who will do the advertising and will only get a commission if a customer purchases.

Meanwhile, since an affiliate marketing relationship is a win-win situation, the affiliate also enjoys many benefits.

The affiliate benefits are:-

No production cost
The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, and all you have to do is to find as many prospects as you can that will bring in the profit for both the merchant and the affiliate.

No start up cost
Affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs.

Easy way to make profit
The affiliate can earn by having an ad or link to the merchant's website, which prospective customers will hopefully click and proceed to make a purchase. As soon as the customer clicks on the ad on the affiliate's site, is redirected to the merchant's website and goes on to buy that particular product, the affiliate earns a commission.

No sales experience necessary
Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer at the least cost and the most comfort. You can even build a successful affiliate marketing business right in the convenience of your own home.

No inventory necessary
In affiliate marketing, your responsibility is simply to find prospects for the merchant; you do not have to worry about inventory, order processing, and product shipping. These, along with customer service support are the duties of the merchant. Usually the vendor takes care of all aspects of product maintenance and supply.

The World is Your Market
You can easily find thousands of prospects, because of the global reach of the internet When you sell products on the internet your market is the whole world! The power of the internet is unbelievable and you can reach anyone who is connected to the world wide web.

Low Risk
Another benefit of an affiliate marketer is the minimal risk involved. If the product you are advertising is not making money then you can dump it and choose another. There are no long-term binding contracts tying you to products that are not making enough money.

No Closing Time
A website is usually up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your "store" can be making money while you sleep or are on vacation. It's kind of like a vending machine. It's always there even if you are not. People can come in and buy at any time.

How much an affiliate can earn?

If you sell a product through your hoplink and you get 60% commission. The product is sold for $43.95 so you would make $26.37 for just one sale.

Let say you are able to sell 5 products a day, now multiply $26.37 by 5. The total is $131.85. Many affiliate can make this amount in one day.

Many of these merchant companies pay a lot more than $26.37, dependent upon which products or services they are selling.
