Earn from sharing...

Affiliate marketing is earning an agreed commission on all qualified sales (sales that meet the terms and conditions of a complete sale) that you directly refer as a business or individual. 

What most people do not realise is that they refer at least once a week and do not get paid for it. Think about someone asking you where they can get a service or product, you refer them and the business owner does not pay you for the referral. This happens a lot with doctor services, hairstyles, skin products or general groceries.

With Affiliate marketing you get paid for it based on a n agreement with the owner of the services and products. It would be ridiculous to start sharing services and products expecting a commission when there was no express agreement. The commissions, how to share or market, the sale terms and conditions and payment methods need to be agreed on first.


How does it work?

There are main players in the process:
1) The owner of the services or products (Merchant)
2) The one who decides to share the products or services in return for a commission on every successful sale. This usually takes into account any refund or return periods. (Affiliate

3) The consumer. Without the consumer there would be no affiliate marketing to speak of.

How it works for the merchant:
i) Decide on the products or services you want affiliates to market, the terms and conditions and payment methods. Consider any local statutes and obligations.

ii) Do the calculations on the commissions for affiliates based on your overheads and the type of affiliates you want to attract. 

iii) Build an affiliate management system that will help you recruit affiliates, allow the affiliates to track their earnings, share the products or services to be shared and manage the affiliate payments.

How it works for an affiliate:

i) Join an affiliate program.

ii) Find products or services appropriate to your audience or network.

iii) Promote the products or services.

iv) Get paid on the qualified sales that are directly linked to your referral.


Having affiliates do the marketing is like having an army of people market for you and you only pay for successful sales. This makes it a very practical and affordable way of marketing.
