AFFILIATE MARKETING is a type of marketing in which a business or product owner rewards someone (an affiliate) for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts. Millions of people who aspire to make money online have used the Affiliate Marketing business model to generate long term income. Many affiliate marketers go on to even build their own online stores and businesses as they gain more and more skills.
As an affiliate you do not need to own any products but you still make money by selling other companies' products online.
Affiliate marketing is perhaps one of the oldest and the most “easy to enter” home business models for people who want to make money online.
Let us take a look at the different ways and methods by which we can use affiliate marketing to make a substantial amount of profit.
Affiliates can earn a substantial amount of money every day since the internet makes it possible to scale to very large numbers. You have the potential to hit a global market right from your own home.
Affiliates use several different sources of "online traffic" to generate income from their affiliate marketing business including: organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC – Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, content marketing and display advertising
For example, if I own a product and I want to sell it online, I may simply pay other people (affiliates) a commission every time they sell my product for me. I only pay affiliates when a visitor turns into a customer or qualified lead, or performs any action I have specified.
Despite the global economic downturn, the Affiliate Marketing industry continues to grow rapidly and shows no signs of slowing. The only thing changing is technology, and the rules of the game, which makes the industry more quality controlled. If you are looking to start an online business, starting as an affiliate marketer is a fantastic way to get in without a product or service. You are coming in at a great time!
