The thing that you’re most interested in is probably the number of potential earnings, right? What can you expect to get paid for a promotion?
We mentioned earlier that the sky's the limit when it comes to affiliate marketing. To see this type of advanced affiliate marketing in action, you need not look any farther than Jason Stone. He got started as an affiliate in 2014, and today—just six years later—he’s amassed an incredible six million followers, earning himself the nickname the “Millionaire Mentor.” At one point, he managed to earn $7 million in sales in just 18 months, without ever selling his own product!
With all this talk about niches and affiliate products, it’s time to talk about affiliate programs and networks. Let’s go over the differences between affiliate programs and networks to clear up any confusion.
The basic concept of affiliate marketing is simple to explain. If you have a website, blog, etc., you would host links, banners, or buttons on the site promoting a retail seller. When these ads are clicked on and a purchase is made, you will get a small commission for the sale. Consider the process to be much of a numbers game. The more people that visit the site, the greater the odds of higher click throughs. This, in turn, means you will experience greater amounts of commissions.
Affiliates are often people in the same industry, including prominent bloggers who can have readers that trust them, and they’ll promote your product for you in some way with the goal of getting people back to your site. This could be a blog article review, referring the product to clients they work with, or even just running ad campaigns themselves. Affiliates have their own designated affiliate link in most cases, though some programs use promo or referral codes to track traffic and then subsequent sales.
The consumers or customers are the ones who makes the transaction. They are the ones who purchase the product or submit the lead form in order for the affiliate to gain the commission.
The cookie is then stored for a period of 30 to 90 days (in some cases 10 years also) as fixed by your affiliate program or network to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase the affiliate product.
When I’m trying to decide what to promote I always ask myself the following questions: Do I use this product? Will the vast majority of my readers benefit from using this product? Is the buying process easy? Is there a good affiliate commission rate? (Not always necessary)
Affiliate marketing works in the same way as many old school referral programs and allows people to earn money through their blog or social media platforms by talking about things they love. It actually works well for all parties involved because you are only paid when you make a sale, it does not increase consumer cost, and the company providing the product does not have to pay upfront in case you don’t provide sales.
As much as it’s great to get a $100 commission for recommending a $250 product, you are much more likely to get your readers to buy into a free subscription to an app and get $2 for it.
Your blog was absolutely fantastic! A great deal of great information and this can be useful some or maybe the other way. Keep updating your information.
When you sign up for an affiliate marketing program, you’re issued a unique ID and a trackable URL to use in your content promoting the merchant’s product(s). When a user clicks on your affiliate link or banner ad, it adds a cookie to the user’s browser.
So far, what we have been doing is creating the engine of your affiliate marketing business. The engine is what makes it work, but without fuel, it is obsolete.
