Affiliate Program Basics

If we want to have the income from internet but do not have any products and services for sale, then the Affiliate Program is the solution. What is affiliate programs? Affiliate Program is a form of business cooperation where we act as "liaison" between the providers of products or services with their costumers. If one or more of these costumer transactions, then we as an affiliate received compensation for the work we do (the commission). You probably already know the term scalpers, brokers or agents - as the comparison.

Here are reasons why we joined as an affiliate:

* There are no production costs.
* The cost to start a business is relatively low.
* Labor force required is relatively small when compared to conventional business.
* You can do this business at any time, and wherever you are. Not bound the time and place.
* Potential to bring in revenue without stopping. Passive income.
* Potential to have an unlimited income. If you do it right, effective and consistent.

There are three types of affiliate programs:

* Pay Per Sale program, by joining through this type we would get a commission in accordance with the number of products or services that we sell through our refferal link.
* Pay Per Lead program, by joining through this type we would get a commission in accordance with the number of people who fill out the form (field), surveys, or signing up for services provided.
* Pay Per Click programs, by joining through this type we would get a commission in accordance with the number of refferal click on the link provided by the merchant to us.
* Pay Per View

The easiest means to make money is Pay Per Click program, but get a little money. By contrast than Pay Per Sale, the most difficult to find buyers, but the money is also cute. Which one would you choose?

After that, the next is how to market a product / service they offer.

The following are important points of market affiliate's products or services;


Creating a sales page

Like a salesman, you have to learn how they (prospective costumer / your site visitors) will be attracted to the product / service that you offer through the site? How does the product / service can solve the problem of your site visitors? If your site visitors purchase the product / service you offer, what value for them to buy for you? Is there a guarantee if the costumer is not satisfied with the product / service that you offer? Also you have to consider, how easy they communicate to you?

Oh yes, do not forget that we talk to real people, so try to make the words of an effective marketing on the site offers. Suppose this is face to face sales offering with your potential costumer.
