What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is better defined as the performance based process in which you don’t need to work according to a plan but you get to earn as much money as you want. This is a process in which a company hires one or more affiliate marketers and with the number of visitors or clients brought back to the company by an affiliate marketer, he gets to earn the money. In affiliate marketing, there are four players;
- Merchant
- Network
- Publisher
- Customer
 How affiliate marketing works?
If you have a website or blog on internet and you are looking for ways to earn money with your online project, affiliate marketing is the ultimate solution for you. Here you can nominate your website for affiliate marketing and with each banner or website ad that you post on your website, you earn more money. The visitors that your website is getting, click on the website ad or banner on your site and with each click, you earn money. It starts from 2 cents per click and goes up to $15 depending on the PR of your website and the type of link that you have posted on your website.
Benefits of affiliate marketing:
-
Choose your own clients:Â
This is the best thing about affiliate marketing that you get to choose the people you want to work with. If you like the clients; continue your work and if you don’t, just terminate the project anytime you want without any penalty or punishment from Google.
-
No specific target:
While doing business with a client, you are required to demonstrate the results in a specific period of time and if you fail, the whole project is terminated by the clients. Here in affiliate marketing, no one asks you to deliver the results in a particular time period and you get to work as much or as less that you want.
-
No investment:
With affiliate marketing, you don’t need to invest in the business but you can start from scratch if you want. Yes investing money is an advantage for you in this process but you are not obligated or required to do so but it’s only your choice. This way it lowers the risks of having a loss on the investment or taking risks while doing business.
You don’t need to answer anyone:
Here, you don’t need to answer about the progress or even the results to anyone, not even the Google or the clients on the other end. You just need to work as much you want and with the delivered results, you earn money without any relevancy of how much you worked and how much time it took to complete the assignment.
-
Better ROI:
Return on investment is a big issue for the business owners and it’s the only thing that keeps them from taking any risks or making unpredictable results. With affiliate marketing, you get more than your invested which means, you can invest as much you want without worrying about the outcomes or having a loss in the end.
