Affiliate Marketing

 Affiliate Marketing


Wake up early. Drive to the office, roads jammed with other half-asleep commuters. Slog through excel sheets and emails till five o’clock.

Sounds exhausting?

What if,  you could earn money at any moment by being within the boundary of your home.

That’s the concept behind affiliate marketing.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is simply an activity in which a person (affiliate) earns a commission for marketing a company’s products.

Objectives of affiliate marketing:

The objective behind affiliate marketing is simply that you market other people’s products, often through an affiliate network, and earning a commission if your audience ends up buying it through the channel you have provided.

It comes under Revenue sharing. If a company have a product and want to increase their revenue, they tend to offer an incentive through an affiliate program. On the other hand, if you do not have a product and want to earn money, then you can become an affiliate marketer and start marketing products of companies.


How does affiliate marketing work?

To enroll in an affiliate marketing program, you will need to perform the flowing tasks: -

1.  1) Find an affiliate program

2.   2)According to your audience, join the appropriate affiliate program.

3.   3)Decide upon which offers you want to promote

4.   4)Receive a unique affiliate link for each product

5.   5)Share the links on social media platforms

6.   6)Receive commission whenever a purchase is made through your link



Benefits of the affiliate marketing model

Affiliate marketing provides many benefits to affiliates, one of which is its simplicity. The affiliates do not need to worry about the production, salaries, management of the human resources, procurement of funds, etc. Their sole concern is to market the product and earn a commission on it.

Affiliate marketing involves low risk. As there is no cost to enroll in an affiliate program, an affiliate can begin earning money with an established affiliate product or service without any upfront investment. Affiliate marketing also can provide regular income through commission.

You can introduce new products to your current audience and build campaigns for additional products while the already existed work keeps on generating income in the background.

But Before you get too excited and confident, know that good affiliate marketing is built on trust. While seemingly there are a large number of products to promote, it’s best to only select those which you personally believe your audience will buy. Even when a product interests you or fits within your audience’s demand, an affiliate marketing program requires a great amount of hard work.
