Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is probably the most popular way of making money on the Internet and it doesn¡¯t look like that fact is about to change anytime soon. If you haven¡¯t heard of the term before, affiliate marketing programs are simply where a company offers to pay you a set commission for an action (click, lead or sale) that people perform when you refer them to the affiliate website. Affiliate marketing can seem like a daunting area to step into, but there are many free resources all over the Internet to help you learn. This article will aim to give you a solid introduction into affiliate marketing.
Choosing how to do it
Affiliate marketing can be undertaken in a few different ways. You can market your affiliates on a fully functioning website you already run (or you could build one) and try to improve its search engine rankings (free traffic). You can build a landing page (explained later in this article) and use pay per click (PPC) advertising to get visitors, who you will then send to the companies website you are promoting. Alternatively you can send visitors directly to an affiliate¡¯s website with PPC advertising, although Google adwords, the most popular PPC Company, will not allow this. Realistically all of these methods can be viable.
Choosing an affiliate program/network
There are thousands of affiliate programs and affiliate networks that bring advertisers and publishers together, but some of the bigger and more reliable ones include; commission junction, azoogleads, CPA empire, Neverblue ads, hydramedia, clickbank, linkshare, clixgalore, and there are many, many more. Some companies even run their own affiliate program, which cuts out the middleman.
