Free Affiliate Marketing Program

Welcome to the Affiliate Marketing section.

I'll get straight to the point - Affiliate Marketing is one of the easiest ways to make money online. However, it is easier said than done. You can't just be any ordinary affiliate marketer who barely makes a profit each month. You see, as an affiliate marketer you are really competing with other affiliate marketers. The one who makes the most money is the smartest out of them. In this section, I am going to introduce you to affiliate marketing and also show you some of the formulas I use to make sure that I am always in profit in my affiliate marketing campaigns.

Definition of Affiliate Marketing

Firstly, I am going to give you a short and simple definition. I will provide you with the information you need to become successful in this exciting career.What's more, you will be able to use this information to start your own business. You will be able to work from home, set your own hours, avoid frustrating commutes to the office, unpleasant bosses and co-workers, and so much more.

Yes, you are about to take control of your own destiny. Admittedly, it will take some time and persistence, but you can count on the information I provide to enable you to become a super-star affiliate.

So let's get started with a simple definition:

Affiliate Program - A web-based pay-for-performance program designed to compensate "affiliate" partner web sites for driving qualified leads or sales to a "merchant" web site.Typically, the merchant pays a percentage of any sale resulting from a click-through (via banner or text link) to their web site from an affiliate partner's web site. Payment Service providers like Clickbank.Com help track and manage these payments.

Example of an Affiliate Program

Example: One of the first and most successful affiliate programs was that of Amazon.com When Amazon.com started its affiliate program several years back, it was revolutionary. Amazon.com (the merchant) simply allowed webmasters (affiliates) to place text links or banners on their site that could be clicked on by visitors/viewers. By clicking on these, the visitors were taken to the Amazon.com site where they made purchases. And, for every sale completed by one of these visitors, the affiliate was paid.

Because affiliates who participate in these programs have a stake in the response rate (they get paid for responses, known as click-throughs, and purchases made by the viewer), they do everything possible to drive traffic from their site onto the Amazon.com site, and everything they can to prompt a sale once the visitor is taken there.

The traffic sent from an affiliate's web site is tracked through software and every time a visitor clicks-through and makes a purchase, Amazon.com pays the affiliate (usually with a monthly or bi-weekly check).

Your Job As An Affiliate

As an affiliate, you are effectively a sales person for the site you are directing traffic to. However, to say you are a sales person in the proper sense of the word is not strictly correct, because the selling is done pretty much by the merchant. You see the merchant has already invested lots of money on their product and service, and on their marketing too. Your goal is to effectively deliver traffic to the merchants site who then takes care of everything from that point on. There are two ways you can deliver traffic: a) directly, when you send traffic straight to the merchant's site from its source and b) indirectly, when you first engage the visitor in your own website before sending them to the merchant.

We can summarise your activities as an affiliate as follows:

#-Generate Traffic (Visitors) to Your Site
#-Engage the Visitor and Make a Presell
#-Direct the Visitor By Making a Call To Action (in this case to purchase the merchants product)
#-Ensure the Viewer Returns to Your Site for Future Purchases
