Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective ways for anyone to earn money online. This is a quick and passive method to earn cash that is highly scalable, and that is easy to set up. No technical skill is required, and if you choose the right products and connect with the right market, you can stand to make hundreds of even thousands of dollars in a short space of time.
Why Affiliate Marketing is the Best Way to Make Money for Beginners
Affiliate marketing is a concept that eludes many people. How can
you make money from selling something you didn’t make?
How can earning money online really be that simple.
The simplest way to explain it is that it is essentially sales. You are acting as a seller and earning commission on any sales you make.
In that way, you are just like the door-to-door salesmen who come around to sell you broadband.
The difference is that you aren’t going door to door. The internet is your door and this is a door that gives you access to everyoneon the planet. That right away gives you a huge advantage – and especially when you learn how you can get the visitors to come to you.
The other difference here is that the commission scheme is going to be highly different. Regular salesmen will normally get a small cut of whatever they sell: perhaps 5-10%. As mentioned, the difference with affiliate marketing, is that you’re going to get as much as 70-80% of the proceeds. That’s right: often as an affiliate marketer you are actually going to earn more than the creator of the product!
This is what makes affiliate marketing so hugely appealing: because it means that you can start earning just as though you were selling your own product, but without having to invest lots of money to create something from scratch.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
So, let’s get a little more technical, shall we? How precisely does affiliate marketing work and why would a creator ever be happy to give away so much of their own profits?
First, let’s consider the type of content you are going to be selling. To many marketers, affiliate products will be digital products.
There are plenty more options, which we will explore in this book later. But for now, that’s what we’ll focus on. That means things like eBooks, like online courses and like presentations.
Digital products are immediately a good choice for selling online because they have zero overheads and no ‘COGs’ (this is a business term meaning ‘Cost Of Goods Sold’. That means that the creator doesn’t have to pay out at all for each sale and they can instead just make profit and share that profit. It also means they never had to invest large amounts of money upfront and they don’t have to handle delivery either.
Specifically, the way this process actually works is via the use of ‘affiliate links’ which in turn work via cookies.
When you find an affiliate product you want to promote, you will be given an affiliate link and this is what you need to include on your sales page and in your blog posts.
When a buyer clicks on your affiliate link, they will first be redirected to another page on the web. Here, a cookie will be stored on their computer which will identify them as having come from you. Now, when they buy something from that store, they will be recorded as being ‘one of yours’ and the commission will be added to your total for you to withdraw at some point in the future.
For you it’s simple: promote the product and provide the link. That’s all there is to it!
