 Rags to Riches with Affiliate
Programs.
If you do not know what an affiliate program is, it is
simply the process of merchants paying you to bring them
sales or leads.
Here is why affiliate marketing is so easy and profitable:
1. Affiliate programs are free to join. The merchants do
not charge you to become an affiliate, because they
obviously want you to succeed.
2. Merchants spend hundreds of thousands to millions of
dollars in advertising, that very rarely results in a
sale. Seen all the commercials on Television? Do you think
everyone who see it will buy the product? Of course not!
3. Merchants love affiliate programs because they are able
to pay you only if a sale is made. And because this
advertising is a guaranteed sale for them, they are able
to pay you very well, usually between 10-30%. They are
happy to do so because the sale has already been made.
4. Since we are still in the early years of affiliate
marketing, there is a large shortage of affiliates. There
will be many people who sign up to become an affiliate,
but either do not have the skills or the time to become
very successful. They will then blow off future
opportunities simply because they failed with one
affiliate merchant.
