3 Things You Must Have Immediately - That Depend On You Starting In Affiliate Marketing!
How Much Money Can You Make With Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is used by some of the biggest companies on the web. Walmart, NetFlix, Amazon, eBay just to name a few, along with entrepreneurs, coaches, and small home-based businesses.
How they work - the strategy used? What is an affiliate marketing program?
Affiliate marketing is basically:
· You become a salesperson that doesn't actually work for the company. You make a sale for and get paid in commissions by the company. You become an affiliate, a partner, a colleague.
· It is sort of like being paid for a referral. Sometimes it is for a say business coaching or an entrepreneur program/product that sales for $197, and you may earn $97 for each sale you refer.
· It is an arrangement between a business/website publisher and you, the online sales person. The business pays you a percentage for all of the sales from your online efforts.
· You send qualified buyers to the business' website and they track the sales.
· You know how much, from reading their affiliate information, you will be paid (a percentage of the sales revenue).
That is the basis of an affiliate marketing program. A lot of people are now coaching business entrepreneurs in this area of online sales - I coach entrepreneurs with this and much more; and then there are some other well-known talents that focus just on affiliate programs.
How much can you earn?
It depends on your:
Total focus and drive
Motivation to learn
Dedication and serious work
When you make a purchase using an affiliate link, you are not charged any more and it makes no difference to your clients (when they purchase from your affiliate link) - other than you earn a referral fee - so it is a bonus for you both - as your clients may purchase what they need, or find out information about something you recommend. You can start it now as a new business. or you can supplement any business you have. Learn how to use affiliate marketing to add to your income. We are now required to let others know that we are doing this - so it is all upfront - you may use something like I use:
DISCLOSURE -Of course, as a smart marketer, whenever possible the products I recommend are attached to an affiliate program!
