THE CONCEPT OF AFFILIATE MARKETING
Your Key to Financial Independence
On the main page, we said that affiliate marketing is a good example of
passive income; you are paid for simply selling a product or service for a
company using your resources and methods. Using the power of the Internet,
affiliate marketing is High Performance commission sales.
Affiliate marketing has come a long way since its inception.
What makes affiliate marketing so attractive is that is what is NOT required
of you. You do not have to worry about product manufacturing or providing
customer service, designing marketing material, or ship the products for the
company.
Your sole responsibility is to promote the product or service of the
advertiser and deliver visitors to their website.
You agree to abide by the terms the company has set for their marketing
representatives to perform these services and in exchange for these services you
will be paid a certain fee for each action they want people to take.
To help you accomplish this goal, and to make sure your account is credited
correctly, affiliate marketing program providers provide you with a unique
identification code that is embedded in all of the marketing material that they
provide you to promote their product or service. Many affiliate marketing
programs allow you to select a "username" that becomes the method that
identifies your account, for example:
"http://www.affiliatemarketing.com/your-name.asp"
While most affiliate marketing programs use graphic banners or contextual ads
embedded with your referral id, there are some companies that provide complete
websites to their affiliates. In this case, your referral id becomes the name of
the sub-domain of their company site, for example:
"http://www.your-name.affiliatemarketing.com"
"http://www.affiliatemarketing.com/your-name/index.html"
Each graphic image or line of text that is supplied to you to promote the
advertisers product or service is embedded with your referral id. When the link
is clicked, it transports your visitor to the website of the company you are
representing.
