Affiliate Marketing Program

 Affiliate Marketing Program - Can you make money with affiliate programs?

The basic idea behind affiliate marketing programs is that you promote other people's products, link to their sites using a custom HTML code, and earn a commission for every sale made by the visitors you refer. One of the oldest affiliate marketing programs on the Web is the Amazon.com Affiliate Program, which typically pays you 5-10% of every sale you send to their site.

Affiliate marketing really started to pick up around 1999. It has since become one of the main ways to promote products over the Web. Almost every major Website is now running some sort of affiliate marketing program as part of its promotion strategy. I myself have run several affiliate marketing sites and can tell you the fact that if done right, marketing other people's products through affiliate programs can make you a lot of money.

Stars: 

The popularity of affiliate programs has made it possible to promote products in almost any area of ​​interest you may have. Serious affiliate marketers often called "Super Affiliates" make the most money, often making $100,000 or more per year.

CONS:

 There is a lot of competition in this field. I've heard that 90% of all affiliates make little or no sales. Only a small percentage of affiliates make serious money. To be successful with affiliate programs, you usually need a wide range of skills that include web development skills, writing skills, and sufficient marketing knowledge to drive serious traffic to your site.

At its core, the recipe for success with an affiliate marketing program involves two main things:

1) get traffic to your site

2) get potential buyers to click on links to your affiliates

While the idea is simple, to really do affiliate marketing profitably, you need to do a lot of market research before you even get started. Nevertheless, I believe an affiliate marketing program is probably the most sensible way to start your own online business. You don't have to have your own product to get started, and if you do it well, the earning potential is very high.
