hi everyone! im new to the world of Affiliate Marketing. what is it exactly? and how does it help a website? i'll appreciate all the help i could get. i know you guys are experts when it comes to these things.. thanks!
thanks smindsrt! that's a really comprehensive guide there.. but i was really hoping to gain insights on personal experiences rather than just reading documented facts, you know. have you had any personal experience with affiliate marketing? please do share. thanks!
Well the way you asked the question was kind of lame. The bottom line is the real money is in affiliate marketing (IMO) sure we make decent income with Adsense, YPN, directory submissions but affiliate marketing is where the big bucks are. My largest day with adsense was just over $500... with affiliate marketing our largest day was $4,674.15. My first real experience in affiliate marketing was in the credit area. We had an Adsense site that made around $600.00 per month. Once we switch it over to just affiliate links we made three times that the next month off of the same traffic.
Are you looking to become an affiliate or are you a potential merchant hoping to drive qualified traffic to your site and increase sales?
noone could give you his/her personal experience via forum post . if you need experience , get a job in some internet marketing company ...thats how some peoples become successful in internet marketing .
Affiliate marketing is a good way to market a website (for publishers) and to boost sales (for merchants.) The main thing is that you have a niche site with high quality traffic you can earn money forwarding your visitors to the online shop (for example) and earning commissions on each sale. E.g. (talking my business) you have a fan site dedicated to some celebrity where people come to share ideas, communicate and get to know each other. But you can offer your visitors more. You can show them quality resources for posters, CD/DVD disks, wallpapers, etc. Then you will earn commissions on each sale/dowmload/lead/etc In this case everybody will be happy: your visitors because you showed them the great resource, merchant - because you directed a customer for them and you - as you earned money! Good luck!
Depending on what audience you are targetting. It can vary but i have helped many people gor from earning 30 a day on adsense to 300 or even a 1000 a day with the only change is promoting CPA on their site instead of adsense.... many people post adsense and think it ends their but CPA can make $$$$$.
thanks for sharing guys! i'm just curious and interested to know what you guys think of affiliate marketing. and i can see that it's the preferred method.. as compared to adsense and YPN or directory submissions...
