Now we already know what is meant by 'Affiliate Marketing', If you do not know please click here! and of course we want to know HOW the workings of this business on the internet so we can make a profit! In online business, all affiliate marketers make sales through the 'special link' or known by the term 'affiliate link'. Affiliate links are provided by the affiliate merchant (owner of the goods / services). How it works affiliate link is as follows:
For example we find a product online that we want to sell. Then we look at the web site offers an affiliate program. Once we learned they were willing to give us a commission of 40% for each sale we generate.
We then enroll in the affiliate program by filling out a form. Usually the merchant will ask you to fill in your name, complete address, name of the recipient 'check' (for commissions), email, phone number, etc.. We will also be asked to read 'affiliate agreement'. Affiliate agreement is a legal document that binds us to the affiliate merchant.
Usual contents express our agreement to the terms and conditions specified by the affiliate merchants, such as not sending spam emails (unsolicited commercial email by the owner of this email.) Affiliate agreement is important because if we violate the terms and conditions that have been written there, the affiliate merchant can suspend payments or even remove us from their affiliate programs.
Well, after we declared agree to abide by the affiliate agreement, the affiliate merchant will provide an 'affiliate link' to us. Our next task is to promote the affiliate link. For example, by placing a link on our web site or in email signatures, hoping someone will 'click' and BUY products / services that we marketed it.
Now, the moment someone clicks on our affiliate links and make purchases, we will be given a commission for these sales! But remember, you know! This person MUST actually make a purchase.
This is the real challenge in the world of affiliate marketing. Affiliate merchants doing his job to sell and deliver products / services to people who buy through our links. While we help them by promoting affiliate links that they provide. Each affiliate link usually consists of a series of unique numbers or letters along with 'affiliate ID' us, which serves to identify YOU as the only person responsible for the sales generated through affiliate links earlier!
