[bholus10]

Being a marketer known as an ‘affiliate’ has become one of the most proven and successful ways to promote products and services online.
It is also one of the most unproblematic

ways for anyone with a website to make excellent profits online. Essentially, affiliate marketing is an arrangement between a merchant and a website owner in a
pay-for-sales set-up.

In a general sense, the website owner or affiliate promotes through their website products belonging to a merchant. The affiliate links up to the merchant's website with the merchant paying a commission to the affiliate on all sales generated by the affiliate’s marketing activities.

Every time someone clicks on the link on the affiliate website and proceed to make a purchase, the affiliate gains a commission. The merchant will pay the affiliate but only when a customer clicks on the product link and actually makes a purchase.

The affiliate effectively earns by utilizing marketing resources within the affiliate program created by the merchant, for e.g: a banner, a text advert or a classified advert. This advert links to the merchant's website via a unique affiliate ID, which potential prospects will randomly click and proceed to make a purchase. As soon as the customer clicks on the ad on the affiliate's site, is redirected to the merchant's website and goes on to purchase that particular product, the

affiliate earns a commission! The more prospects for the product found, the more click-throughs there are to the merchant’s website, what this means for the affiliate is greater profits! It’s a win-win venture for both the merchant and the affiliate!

It needs to be said that the commissions paid vary from affiliate program to affiliate program. Affiliate marketing is an excellent way to earn money in the convenience and comfort of your own home. The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, so all you really have to do is to find as many prospects as you can. This promotional activity brings in the profit for both the merchant and the affiliate.

Affiliates are paid in direct proportion to their efforts – allowing a passive income or a full-time revenue over time. Becoming an affiliate is a great way to earn great rewards for any worthwhile purpose.

Affiliate marketing will give the product or service a collective exposure that it may not enjoy with other traditional advertising routes.

Affiliates are marketers whom usually understand the psyche of their website visitors and subsequent customer networks. Therefore they are inclined to perfect the promotional effort to optimize results for themselves.

One of the most popular & successful ways for affiliates to promote their affiliate link is to write a product review or give a personal testimony having seen the DVD product of ‘The Animated Kids Bible,’ themselves. The product review could be couched

in an outgoing email with their specific affiliate link added at the bottom, or could form part of the content in the website owner and affiliate’s actual website.

Many affiliate programs are usually free to join, so affiliates do not have to worry about start-up costs. It also needs to be said that being an affiliate for a product or service that is related and pertinent to your website will make for greater sales and profits for you

Thedemographic or type of persons who visit your site will pre-qualify their level of interest or disinterest in the product or service you wish to advertise. Persons with websites that pertain to DVD’s, children’s entertainment, children’s education,

schools, family content, faith, religion, Christianity, Bible, spiritual issues, church ministry, animation or parenting would certainly be in the box seat for attracting customers interested enough in clicking through to purchase ‘The Animated Kids Bible DVD Collectables’ for example.

In addition, to become an affiliate, sales experience is totally unnecessary. Most affiliate programs offer excellent support when it comes to providing marketing material. The simplicity of affiliate marketing allows you to be an affiliate marketer at little or no set-up cost and the most ease. Many successful affiliate marketing businesses begin right in the convenience of their own home.

Responsibilities like managing and handling product, sales transaction processing, and product shipping are not the cares of the affiliate. These, along with customer service support are the functions of the merchant.

Because of the wide global dissemination of the internet, you can easily find thousands of prospects. You can further amplify your advertising campaign by developing more aggressive and productive strategies such as viral marketing. By attracting more prospects, you also maximize your potential to earn.

The best benefit of being an affiliate marketer is the fulfillment that comes in promoting a product or service that you like and the prospect to develop and multiply your income. But you can

certainly make a profit even if affiliate marketing is only an interest or a hobby. For
those wishing to pursue greater dreams and rewards, some affiliate programs offer a premium affiliate

membership with value-added rewards, incentives or benefits. For example, for an ongoing membership fee, product entitlements and/or higher commissions paid and/or greater marketing support may be offered to support the focus, commitment and efforts of the affiliate to attain greater results.
