Affiliate marketing is a way of making money online. It’s really a simple concept. When you are an affiliate marketer, you promote a product, service, or site for a business, and you as a publisher get rewarded for doing so.
In most cases, you find products related to your niche and offer them on your website or blog. You promote the products and post a link on your site where they can purchase the products. Then, when someone follows that link to buy something, you earn a commission. The commissions can be either a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount. You’ve seen links to other sites when you’ve read other people’s blogs. These links make the blogger money.
If you have a good level of trust with the people who read your blog, they will trust that you wouldn’t recommend something they wouldn’t like. This will cause them to at least look at what you’re recommending. With the right sales pitch online, you can make it something they “must” have. If they purchase something from you and it is a good product that they like, they’re more apt to buy another. They’ll also pass on where they got it. That will lead more traffic to your site and increase your sales.
