What is Affiliate Marketing?

It is a term that often is used to describe a relationship between a company and individual. The individual often refers products and services that the company offers.

A merchant is the supplier of the goods, the company.

The person who is the direct link between the company and the customer is the affiliate. This is the person that makes sales happen.

Where to start

Affiliate marketing is easy to set up. There are so many programs that offer services.

You may of heard of programs like commission junction. It is where merchants register, and affiliates join to promote the merchants goods.

You need to have a think about where you are going to sell the merchants good before you can do anything else.

What I recommend

Build a website for the products you will be promoting.

You must spend time planning your marketing campaign. Making sure you are able to generate quality traffic.

Your marketing campaign will involve:

Researching your niche and the keywords customers associate with it

SEO (search engine optimization) both on site and off site

How much money can you earn?

As you are paid commissions, if you don't sell anything you wont make any money.

This is why your marketing campaign is very important. If you get it wrong you are off to a non starter.

When your site and marketing campaign is launched. All you need to do next is paste your affiliate code on your site. Then you are all set to go.
