What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is simply a method of marketing where you can earn a commission or a fee for promoting other people’s products or services and if done right can be very lucrative.
Thousands of people are earning a good living working from home just promoting other people’s products.
As an Affiliate Marketer, you don’t have to worry about creating your own products and you won’t have to deal with customers or customer support issues.
The only skill required to become an Affiliate Marketer is some basic internet marketing knowledge and more importantly… “The Desire To Succeed”
How affiliate marketing works?
OK, Simply join an affiliate program. Affiliate programs are FREE TO JOIN and don’t take that long to signup.
Today there are thousands of affiliate programs being offered by the big retailers e.g Amazon.com… Ebay.com.
Affiliate programs are mainly found at the bottom of the merchant’s website when you have found the button that says (Become An Affiliate) click and then sign up.
Once you’ve completed signing up you then login into your account, now you have access to thousands of products/items to market to the rest of the world.
When you’ve found the product or item you’d like to promote and sell you then get a LINK this now becomes your affiliate link unique just to you.
Once you have your affiliate link you can promote this link really anywhere yo want. Say you have a website or a Facebook page whatever it maybe.
Now when somebody clicks on that link and buys that item you get a commission, actually they don’t even have to buy that particular item, if they buy a different product through your link you still get a commission.
So why bother setting up as an affiliate marketer?
As Robert Kiyosaki from Rich Dad Poor Dad says.
“Generations from now, people will look back at this period of time and remark at what an exciting era it must have been. it was the death of the old and birth of the new. It was a time of turmoil and it was exciting”.
I believe affiliate marketing to be one of the best ways to get started online today as I said before
- You don’t need your own product
- You don’t ever have to ship anything yourself
- You don’t even have to take the payment.
- All you need is a laptop and an internet connection.
