What Are the Drawbacks of Affiliate Marketing?

ByMichael Cervantes In our previous article, we gave you a pretty good idea of why affiliate marketing is such a popular way to make money online. After all, it eliminates much of the drudgery that comes with starting an online business and lets you focus on sending traffic to a merchant's website. With everything that affiliate marketing has going for it, what could possibly be the drawback of building an affiliate marketing business? Well, simply put, focusing exclusively on affiliate sales will keep you from enjoying the benefits of owning your own product. You see, as an affiliate you are sharing the profits with the product owner. On a digital information product (like an e-book or audio program), your typical sales commission as an affiliate might be anywhere from 25% to 75%, with somewhere around 50% being a pretty typical commission. Now, getting half of the revenue on a particular sale is a pretty good deal, but we want to be fair and point out the advantages of being a...

Should You Promote Physical Affiliate Products?

ByMichael Cervantes Most of our discussions so far have been focused on how to promote digital information products like e-books, audio programs, and software tools. We want to make it clear, however, that these aren't the only types of products you can promote as an affiliate. As a matter of fact, there is a whole world of physical products out there that you can promote if you choose to go that route. Think about all the physical products that you purchase in your daily life. Cameras, blow dryers, computers, iPods, electric shavers, food processors, and furniture -- these are just a few examples of the thousands of products available for you to promote as an affiliate. If you're into physical products instead of e-books, you can pretty much promote just about anything you want to! The sheer volume of products available is one of the big advantages of promoting physical products. Ebooks are still very popular and will most likely continue to be so for the foreseeable future...

How Many Affiliate Websites Should You Build?

ByMichael Cervantes In the past, pretty much all affiliate marketers would focus on building dozens, if not hundreds, of mini-sites in many different niches. These miniature websites would only have a few pages of content each, and they were usually designed to make a small amount of money (perhaps a few dollars per day). While some of these websites could certainly be more lucrative depending on the niche, most of the marketers who build these kinds of sites were relying on volume. When you first think about it, you might not be too impressed by the website that makes a dollar a day or even five dollars a day. But imagine that you have 100 websites, and each of them makes you choose one dollar a day. All of a sudden, you are making about $3000 a month, and I'm sure that sounds a little more impressive. Now, imagine that each of your websites is making at least five dollar today, and you are looking at a monthly income of $15,000. From there, you can do the math yourself and com...

Affiliate Marketing and How It Works

There are various revenue generating avenues offered by the internet and over time, affiliate marketing has become one of the top ones in this category. Affiliate marketing is a kind of revenue sharing venture between the website owner (affiliate) and the online merchant. Basically, the affiliate who also owns a website puts up advertisements regarding the merchant's product or he may also put up the links to the merchant's website. Thus, whenever a customer is directed to the merchant website, the affiliate gets a share in the profits. Benefits of affiliate marketing to the merchant includes lower advertising and marketing costs and lower operating overheads because the merchants do not need to maintain a large sales and marketing division as they get most of their advertising done off-site. Disadvantages to the merchant include inability to control the sales and marketing budget, and misrepresentation of the company or its products by the affiliates. To the affiliate, benef...

How To Become An Affiliate Marketer: Defined

An affiliate marketer is simply a person in a relationship with a merchant or service provider who allows you to have links with their business for mutual benefits.

Guest Blogging for Traffic - A Guide for Affiliate Marketers
