Affiliate Marketing

A genuine home business opportunity?

By: Dave Holloway

Recent times have seen a major increase in people looking for work from home opportunities. We have all heard the “buzz words” internet scam and wondered if there really is a genuine home business that allows an individual to earn an income from the security of their own home. Affiliate Marketing is definitely an option to consider.

The basic idea behind Affiliate Marketing is directing prospective customers or “traffic” around the internet to merchants or organisations that have a product to sell. The methods used are quite simple. Each Affiliate marketer operates a website to display banners or links to direct prospective customers to the merchant’s website. Each time a sale is made, the merchant pays a commission to the referring affiliate. Therefore, by definition Affiliate Marketing is revenue sharing between merchants with product or information for sale and the online “publishers” or website operators who provide the prospective customers via the links or banners and “sales pitch” text on their web site.

The commission paid varies depending on the company selling the goods and the product being sold. Some merchants offer percentage based commissions; others offer set dollar amounts depending on the value of the product, this form of commission is called “pay per sale”. It is possible to earn commission from merchants for prospective sales or leads referred to as “pay per lead” and payments for prospective buyers simply clicking on your links to a selling organisation’s site, this is referred to as pay per click.

Many successful affiliate marketers have set up web sites providing information on a specific topic often choosing their “product line” based on a personal interest, hobby or niche market they have discovered through online research. Once the site is set up with links, banners and topic relevant information, it is simply a matter of promoting the site through advertising on search engines and “optimising” their site to achieve good natural search engine results. Each time a web surfer clicks through your link or banner then makes a purchase, you collect the commission. You can even earn money while you sleep; how is that for a 24 hour 7 day a week business.

The sky is the limit, once you get your web site up and running, there are virtually hundreds of internet companies offering affiliate marketing partnerships, with varied products for sale. One big advantage of affiliate marketing is the ability to promote diverse product lines and develop multiple income streams. The more products you have to sell the more commission you can earn. Affiliate marketing is truly an opportunity to earn money with high incentives - the more effort you put in the more you can receive in return.

The key to successful affiliate marketing and earning a genuine income is selecting the right product or opportunity, and following proven information or guidelines that will produce online success and financial reward. If you are looking for a genuine home business opportunity, or just some extra cash, you should definitely consider affiliate marketing. There are genuine work from home opportunities on the internet. Affiliate marketing will require time and effort on your part, however getting started is a fairly simple process.
