Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is pretty simple… A merchant who wants to sell more may decide to offer an affiliate program. Using this affiliate program he will attract webmasters of other sites, so called publishers, who are willing to sell or promote the merchants product on PPC Search or their site. In exchange the webmaster who promotes the merchant or sends him a sale gets a commission. The handling and shipping is all taken care of by the merchant, basically you only send him a new customer or prospect.
Send him a customer, how ?
The internet is based on links that you can click to go to another web site. Just the same with affiliate marketing: the merchant provides a unique link that the publisher places on PPC Search or his own web site. When people click on that unique link, the visitor is taken to the merchants site.
How do I get Paid?
Sometimes just clicking the link will earn you money. This is called a pay per click affiliate program. Most of the times however just referring a visitor won't do to get paid. Often the referred visitor will have to do something: these are pay per lead affiliate programs.
An example of pay per lead affiliate programs is the one where a referred visitor needs to enter there zip code. When the visitor clicks the publishers link and enters there zip code, the publisher gets paid. Example page HERE
(this offer is worth $1.10 just for a zip code)
How do I get started?
First you should know that there will be a little money needed to get started. How much depends on you. All of the affiliate programs (the ads) are FREE to join. So you could join them and look around to check it out for nothing.The PPC Search is where you will spend your money.
