"I have heard that affiliate marketing can be a very lucrative endeavour and I would really love to earn my share of those affiliate marketing commissions!"
Does the above statement ring a bell somewhere in the recesses of your mind? Yes? No?
Well, it doesn't really matter. Truth be told, thousands upon thousands of new and old affiliate marketers worldwide have uttered or are uttering those exact same words...as we "speak".
For the purposes of this discuss, we will assume that you are one of them...So how can you earn those affiliate marketing commissions?
Well, we need to define affiliate marketing as a premise:
"Affiliate Marketing is a system of revenue sharing between one site (the affiliate merchant) which features an ad or content designed to drive traffic to another site (the advertiser). The affiliate will receive a fee based on the amount of traffic generated."
From the above definition, you will agree with me that as an affiliate marketer, you are holding the longer "stick" - by that I mean that you have the better deal!
Analyze this: You don't need to bother yourself about shipping, handling, customer service, hosting, order taking, etc., etc. And in case you didn't notice, this leaves you ample time to FOCUS on your ONLY assignment as an affiliate marketer...MARKETING! Driving targeted traffic to the sales page of the product you are promoting is your PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT!
Since we have now decoded what our job is, we must now count the cost of setting up shop...
You may or may not know this, but when it comes to affiliate marketing, setting up is cheap. This is one business that won't break your bank account to start. You can start for FREE in fact...even though it will cost you a lot in terms of manual labour.
My advice? Get a good guide (preferably an eBook) that will show you EXACTLY what to do, when to do it and HOW to do it.
When I started affiliate marketing, I didn't know how to verify the authenticity of affiliate programs. Will they pay? Are they genuine? Will they last? Will I get residual income? Will they train me? Will they respond to my enquiries even if it sounds stupid? Etc., etc.
But now, all I do is go to google and enter in a search: "Name of affiliate program" Review. A host of reviews come out and I try and decide based on how I feel about what is being said. I write this because not all reviews are "unbiased"! Some folks are just plain lazy. They buy an eBook, or register as affiliates for a program, and are unwilling to put in the effort needed to succeed at that program. Get this: AFFILIATE MARKETING IS NOT FOR LAZY LAY ABOUTS! This is serious business and should be treated thus! But I guess it's to be expected because it's cheap to start. maybe if you paid $25,000 to enrol and set up an affiliate program, you'd take it a little more seriously...hmm?
