Even a person with an average knowledge of internet marketing can become an Affiliate Marketer and earn a good chunk of money. But if you really want to be successful in this field, you need to increase your knowledge gradually.
In this post, I’m going to share with you the wire-frame of affiliate marketing. Let me try to make it interesting and simple for you.
In simple words, affiliate marketing is none other than the traditional form of marketing in a new shell. In the traditional form of marketing, companies share their profits with those who sell their products. If your recommendation is generating sales for the companies like Amazon, Costco, Wayfair, etc. then they share their profits with you for that particular product. Affiliate marketing can easily be understood by going through the below step-by-step guide.
Before we start further, let’s clear the concept first.
- Unlike traditional marketing, wherein salespeople roam around to sell their products, affiliate marketing is fully based on the internet, where nobody ( neither buyers, sellers nor promoters) has to go offline. i.e, a complete process of purchase and sales exercise is done online only.
- Ecommerce companies like Amazon, Costco, Wayfair, etc. allow you, to register with them as an affiliate marketer with an online agreement, and then they will provide you a unique affiliate marketing code. Remember, different companies use different names for this code, don’t get confused.
- To understand which product is sold through your recommendations seller websites like Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, Flipkart, etc. track that affiliate code and get to know that sales have been recommended by you only.
