Affiliate Marketing

Filed Under Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a great way to supplement your income.

What is affiliate marketing? Simply put it is earning a commission by promoting a product on the internet.

How does it work? Well, you sign-up as an affiliate with the company with a product you want to promote and they provide you with a unique id.. It may take a couple of days to get approved but once you do you are ready to promote the product.

Then to promote a product you write an article or create a newsletter and insert an affiliate link or some HTML code into the code view of your message, save it, publish it and you are ready to go.

Then what happens is when a visitor visits your site or receives your newsletter, clicks on your link and buys the product you are promoting or fills out a form at the merchant’s website, you earn a commission for the sales and leads generated from your links.

So as an example, currently I am setting-up a website for a gentleman who is really sharp but doesn’t want to know anything about setting-up websites. He needs to set-up his hosting and domain registration so he goes to my site clicks on my Go Daddy affiliate link to place his order. Once the transaction is complete Go Daddy sends me a percentage of the sale.

Pretty cool, huh?

It’s a beautiful day…I hope you enjoy it!
