The ability to become an Internet based affiliate marketer is
very simple due to the number of affiliate opportunities that
can be found online. Understanding that there is more to being
successful than to simply become an affiliate is important.
There are two approaches to making money as an affiliate. This
article will discuss them both.
- The first key to making money online is to sell products that
are very well established. Although these products may have a
small percentage they payout for each sale they are products
that are known to have a very high click through rate.
A click through rate defines the number of visitors your site
has each day and then divides the actual number of clicks your
advertisements receive daily.
Google Adwords is a prime example of an affiliate opportunity
that has a high click through rate. Google ads target the
content of the site they are placed on and also target the most
likely visitors. Amazon.Com is another prime example because you
have the ability to place advertisements on your site that are
specifically targeted to your visitors.
These types of programs have a very small payout per sale or
click as in Adwords but they offer the ability to have a large
number of sales and clicks each day. If your site has a large
number of daily visitors it is fairly simple to make good money.
The more visitors you have to your site or blog the higher
number of clicks you will get and the more money you will make.
This type of sale is a low pay high volume income producer and
can payout nicely if done correctly.
- Direct selling of other peoples products. Those products
that are not as well know have the ability to produce an even
higher income even thought they will mproduce less sales.
This type of affiliate sales should involve a fairly high
commission rate. While some companies, ones I would not spend my
time on, offer commissions in the 20 percent range it is very
easy to find opportunities that pay 30 percent and upwards to 40
percent per sale.
There are other factors that must be considered such as the
quality of the product, the reputation of the company and how
much demand there is for the product. While those things must be
addressed to assure any sales it is just as important to obtain
the highest commission rate possible.
It will require the exact same amount of effort to sell a
product that cost $40.00 and pays 20 percent as it does to sell
a $40.00 product that pays 40 percent or more. Providing the
product you choose does not fall into number one above, high
volume sales that pay a small percentage, it only makes sense to
seek out products that pay a higher percentage rate per sale.
The above two approaches to making money with affiliate sales
have the ability to earn the online affiliate a lot of money if
done correctly. Many affiliates will use both strategies to earn
a significant income.
The key factor to being an affiliate making money is to make as
many sales as possible with the program you choose and to either
have a high number of sales each day or to make the most money
per sale possible.
