Affiliate marketing is the pre-sales of other people's products. Anyone that puts the

effort forth and is willing to learn can share in the owner's profits. With the proper

training and a niche, an affiliate can quickly gain a substantial income. If one learns to

market on the internet, affiliate will enjoy financial success.

Sellers compensate their affiliates in one of three ways: pay-per-sale (PPS), pay-per-click

(PPC), or pay-per-lead (PPL). With pay-per-click affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid

when he gets traffic to the merchant's website. Pay-per-sale is when the affiliate gets

paid by making a sale from his refferal. Pay-per-lead is when an affiliate gets paid a set

commission to get a lead for the merchant.

Understanding the strategy of preselling is the key. The latest technologies allow a

product to easily be marketed on the internet. Blogging, building a website, article

marketing, video marketing and social bookmarketing are a few of the ways affiliate

marketers are advertising. Video marketing and blogging can be done without any marketing

education. Anyone can build a profitable affiliate online business if the proper niche is

chosen. Choosing the right niche involves doing some market research and timing is

everything.The largest niches in the affiliate marketing business are the gaming and adult.

The key to successful affiliate marketing is having a real time tracking system in place

that monitors sales and conversions.

Affiliates would have more success if they would set up a website, with links to specific

landing pages for their different product sales. Each of the landing pages should serve as

a product description as well as lead generation. The opt-in form will allow emails to be

sent to the lead in hopes of converting the lead to a customer. Newsletters, blogs, forums

and emails will keep your customers informed of your products and hopefully generated

repeat customers.

Choosing a niche and understanding consumer trends are important to be an affiliate

marketer. Advertising strategies which will bring leads can then be developed. One of the

strategies include choosing keywords using the search engines. Using the relevant keywords

with the content on your website is how the internet's search engines send visitors to your

website.
