If you decide to become an Affiliate Marketer, you will see that this is one of the fastest ways to make money online. There are literally hundreds of thousands of affiliate marketers online making real money. As an affiliate marketer, you are sort of the middle man. You are the guy promoting someone else's product. You send people to someone else's web page to purchase a product. When that person makes a purchase, you get a commission from the product owner based on your agreement with them. This commission is generally in the form of a percentage of the total sale. So, let's say, for example, that you send someone to a product that sells for $100. If your agreement with the owner is 50%, then you make $50. Alot of times you will get up to 75%. You usually get a higher percentage for digital information sales than you do for physical items.
When you first start out, you are just an affiliate. After you get going and you are making big money, you are considered a Super Affiliate. These guys and gals are making alot of money and promoting many things at the same time. But your goal should be to become a Mega Super Affiliate. These affiliates are making as much as $1,000,000 or more a year.
There are many programs available to guide you through the process of becoming an affiliate. To become successful quickly, I recommend that you research a few of these programs and find one that comes up on search results from Google or Yahoo or Bing, or other search engines.
Some affiliate programs are available to help you find products to promote. A couple of examples are Clickbank and Commission Junction. Clickbank is a great program that offers digital products only (ebooks, how to guides, informational products). Commission Junction is also a great program that offers digital products, but they also offer physical products (camping gear, musical instruments, clothes, you name it). If it can be bought, it is probably on one of these sites.
These sites do not own these products, but rather vendors pay to have their products listed there for affiliates to promote. So, these vendors rely greatly on the affiliate to promote their product(s) for them. Once the affiliate sends the customer to the vendor, it is up to the vendor to make the sale. Once the sale is made, the vendor pays the affiliate for sending the customer there. The vendor knows who sent the customer to their site because when the vendor and the affiliate made the agreement, the vendor assigned the affiliate a code to put in the affiliates blogs or articles or websites, or whatever method the affiliate marketer wants to use to promote the product.
The affiliate can promote the product(s) in many different ways. (S)he can make up a website and promote the product that way. They can post plogs on places like Blooger.com or WordPress.com or thousands of other blogging platforms. They can simply go to forums and post therir replies with a link to the product(s) they are promoting.
I recommend that the affiliate marketer make a web page of their own. On this website, they put a form that the customer puts their email address and name in so that the affiliate has a record of who asked for the information they are giving. That way, the affiliate can send them future offers that relate to the product the customer asked for. This is one method to becoming a Super Affiliate.
To become a Mega Super Affiliate, you should do all of the above plus some. What gets you on the road to becoming a Super Affiliate is to develop your own product and market it. When you sell your own product, who do you share the profits with? No one! You get 100% of the profit. You are not paying an affiliate. You can also develop these products and sell the resell rights to them. If you have good quality products, they will fetch a pretty penny (or perhaps a pretty dollar)!
Hope this sheds some light on the Affiliate Marketer method!
