1.1 What is Online Affiliate Marketing?
Let’s start with understanding what Affiliate Marketing means.
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which an affiliate is rewarded by the respective business owners for each successful transaction brought about by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.
The successful transactions are subjective to the business owners. Some requires affiliates for site referral, email forwarding, downloading of e-books, sales of the product, etc.
For each successful transaction, the affiliate gains a commission of its marketing effort. The commission may be small per transaction, for eg. a dollar per transaction. But if you are a good online marketer, you can earn a substantiate amount just by being an affiliate.
Some commission payout is high, (and it usually involves the sales of a product) but it often relates to the difficulty of achieving the transaction.
Having understood what affiliate marketing means, we will depict a few examples in the next few posts to let you better grasp the concept.
