Affiliate Marketing 101: What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Just what is affiliate marketing? This post will explain…
Affiliate marketing is based on sharing revenue sales between two parties. On one hand you have the merchant, the owner of goods, products and/or services, and on the other you have the affiliate.
Through a unique affiliate link, the affiliate is rewarded for each action the visitor takes based on the merchant’s reward system.
The affiliate is rewarded depending on which actions the merchant decides to reward their affiliates by.
The affiliate (via their affiliate link) may be rewarded by each visitor who clicks on their link, enters certain details such as a name, zip code and email address into a form, or by purchasing a product or service.
For example, if a merchant decides to pay the affiliate for each visitor who purchases a product through their affiliate link, the affiliate is then rewarded a percentage of each sale that occurs through their unique affiliate link.
A numbers example of this would be if a company has a $97 ebook that they sell through their website and then decides they would like more traffic and sales for their ebook.
They would then create an affiliate program where affiliates who promote that ebook with their affiliate link will generate (say) %50 commissions for each sale they produce.
Each sale produced by the affiliate makes him $48.50, while the other half of that sale goes to the merchant, who did not have to promote and market to generate that sale.
This creates a win-win situation for both parties involved, each makes a profit for each sale that’s produced.
The more sales made by the affiliate, the more revenue each party will make.
There are literally thousands of merchants who use affiliate programs to grow their business exponentially.
Sites like ClickBank have made it easy for merchants to create an affiliate system whereby affiliates can promote their products, and likewise affiliates can sign a form, have their own unique affiliate ID created for them and begin promoting products for the merchant immediately.
This is the essence of affiliate marketing and is one of the greatest ways for anyone to earn a secondary or main income by putting this type of marketing into practice.
Of course, there’s more to affiliate marketing than meets the eye.
One of the fastest ways to make money with affiliate marketing is by setting up and creating your own marketing funnel system.
Sure, you can generate a few sales by promoting an affiliate product by various means on the Internet, but I (and countless others) have found it extremely valuable and 10x more powerful to create a system whereby affiliate sales are made one right after the other and on autopilot.
I’ve written a special FREE 35-page report on exactly how to do this.

Affiliate Marketing & Market Research
Now that many people’s finances are getting even tighter due to the recession, the idea of making money online is getting even more attractive, and one of the first things many people hear about is something called “affiliate marketing.” While there is enough information out there to overwhelm most people at first, the basic concept is fairly simple.
Market research is the first step in the process.
First, you must research markets you are interested in. This is your most important starting point, and you can do this by finding out what your potential customers are looking for. This is the essence of “keyword research” – finding the actual words or phrases people type into search engines to find answers to their problems, and you can be sure that if you do not do your research, you will regret it later.
By finding and using keywords that consumers are actively entering into the search engines, you will be able to help your websites and landing pages rank higher, generating a nonstop flood of organic, targeted traffic.
Keyword research doesn’t have to be a difficult task, however. Start with the free Google Keyword Tool, which can be found by searching for “Google keyword tool external,” and enter in a keyword or phrase that identifies the product or niche that you are interested in promoting as an affiliate.
Click on “get keyword ideas” to generate a list of keywords and gauge the competitiveness of the the market by taking a look at the number of times people are searching for your main keywords per month.
What you want to do is find a market with existing demand that also has existing competition and products readily available, but not so competitive that ranking highly is next to impossible.
What’s important here is that you remember there must be an audience for whatever you choose to market. Since you are an affiliate, your costs for entering a market are not very high, but it’s still a good idea to take the time to do niche research in order to avoid wasting your time.

Affiliate Marketing Millionaire Review…
Affiliate Marketing is one of the fastest
growing industries on the planet today
and is only expected to get bigger.
Recently a Home Study course “Affiliate
Millionaire” was announced by Andrew Fox
an affiliate who has sold over $1million
of products just via sending email.
Fox claims ” I’ve been carrying out
Affiliate Marketing since the year 2000
and have been stunned by the growth
For years I’ve been asked to produce a
course on how I’ve managed to generated
commission pay checks in excess of
$70,000 in less than 7 days.
Affiliate Millionaire is my answer to that”
Unlike your typical Internet Marketing
product Fox has invested a lot in new
technology to make Affiliate Millionaire
something truly special.
“I think the current Internet Marketing
Community was getting saturated with
‘copy cat’ ebooks and people were just
getting sick of the hype. They didn’t know
who to trust.
I expanded my office, invested in the best
video and studio equipment, hired specialist
video productions experts and really
raised the bar – I don’t think there is anything
like this out there”
I like helping changing the industry and if I
can do that while helping people quit their
job and become a full time affiliate even better”
Affiliate Millionaire is released on Tuesday
23rd February and a sell out is expected
in record time.
“We are also releasing a limited number of
copies and in the past some of my products
have sold out in less than 24 hours.
Affiliate Millionaire is easily 5 -10 times
bigger than anything I’ve carried out before.
How many affiliates have sold over $1million
of products via email and revealed their secrets
in a step by step program – my guess would be
not many”
Affiliate Millionaire has a free pre launch sign up
list where Andrew will be sharing some
sneak video previews of the content inside
the course.
