AFFILIATE
PROGRAMS
An Affiliate Program is a business and income opportunity between a merchant
and an affiliate which can be an individual, group or company. Once you have
enrolled in an affiliate program, you will be tasked to pre-sell the products
or services of a merchant. You do not have to physically carry any stock nor
handle any customer service or delivery.All you have to do is to pre-sell the
affiliate merchant's products and hope that the person you have reached would
eventually buy from your affiliate link.Maximize your
revenue opportunities by developing sustainable relationships with top-tier
merchants with quality products or services. Perform and get paid for every
sale and lead you generate.The commissions you will receive
as an affiliate can be rewarding. Commissions payable to affiliates usually
ranges from 1% to 75% depending on the product or services.Top affiliates are
known to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales commissions annually.
Affiliate Networks
Affiliate networks that have already a number of advertisers usually also have
a large number of publishers. This large pool of publishers could be potentially
recruited. There is also an increased chance that publishers in the network
apply to the program by themselves, without the need for any recruitment efforts
by the advertiser.Relevant
sites that attract the same audiences as the advertiser is trying to attract,
but are not competing with the advertiser are potential affiliate partners as
well. Even vendors or existing customers could be recruited as affiliate, if
it makes sense and does not violate any laws or regulations.Almost any website
could be recruited as affiliate publisher although high traffic websites are
more likely interested in (for them) low risk CPM or medium risk CPC deals rather
than higher risk CPA or revenue share deals.(1)
