"Affiliate Marketing-What is it and can it Make you Rich?"
Affiliate marketing is an online advertising channel in which advertisers
(online merchants that sell products or services) pay publishers (independent
parties that promote the products or services of an advertiser on their Web
site) only for results, such as a visitor making a purchase or filling out a
form, rather than paying simply to reach a particular audience.
This "pay-for-performance" model is in essence the modern version of the
"finders'-fee" model, where individuals who introduce new clients to a business
are compensated. The difference in the case of affiliate marketing is that
advertisers only pay their publishers when the new client introduction results
in a sale or a lead, making it a low-risk, high-reward environment for both
parties.
One of the break out leaders of affiliate marketing is Rosalind Gardner. She
explains "
Although I hate the term and don't own a tiara, my colleagues call me the
"Affiliate Marketing Queen". :-) A January 2009 trade magazine pegs me as the
female affiliate marketer (since 1998) with the most experience.
Over the years, I've taught thousands of people how to start and run their own
successful affiliate marketing businesses using the methods I teach in the Super
Affiliate Handbook (and as an industry expert speaker, magazine columnist and
consultant) and YOU can learn them too!
I teach by example - using my own affiliate sites. From blog installation, to
design, content creation and all methods of marketing - I STILL do it all.
(Note: Many other affiliate training packages use MY affiliate sites as examples
without my permission. That's because those so-called 'trainers' don't have
affiliate sites. They pretend to be working affiliates to take your money, but
they don't have any real experience.)
In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant
and affiliate (you), in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating
sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.
For example, many credit card companies will pay you between $5 and $20 in
commission for each visitor that you send to their site who completes a credit
card application, and up to $55 for those whose applications are approved.
That's a great commission, and although many companies pay less, there are also
many companies that pay much MORE!
Here's another example:
 If you promote this Elite TR6633 Treadmill which sells for $6,495.00 as an
affiliate of MegaFitness, they will pay you a 10% commission... or $649.50!
"Fantastic!", you say.
You're absolutely right!
How much you will earn depends in part on the products you choose to sell, and
in the Super Affiliate Handbook I show you exactly how to find the best
companies and products to promote.
