Affiliate marketing is a
type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards affiliates for
each customer brought to the company by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
This free online course takes a
step-by-step approach to help you start making money online with affiliate
marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to sell products and services from
other people or businesses without the stress of keeping inventory. It also has
the advantage of a very minimal capital outlay. We will help you find companies
interested in giving you money to partner with them in selling their products
and services.
Here's how affiliate marketing typically works:
A business (the merchant) partners with affiliates (individuals or
companies) to promote their products or services.
The affiliates create marketing materials (such as blog posts,
social media posts, email campaigns, or banner ads) that include special links
to the merchant's website. These links are typically referred to as
"affiliate links."
When a customer clicks on one of these links and makes a purchase,
the affiliate is credited with the sale and earns a commission. The commission
is typically a percentage of the sale price.
The affiliate is paid the commission by the merchant, either
directly or through an affiliate network (a platform that connects merchants
and affiliates).
The affiliates continue to promote the merchant's products or
services and earn commissions for each successful sale.
Some common types of affiliates include bloggers, influencers, and
content creators who promote products or services on their websites or social
media channels. Affiliate marketing can be a lucrative way for these
individuals or companies to earn income, as they only receive commissions for
sales that they help generate.
Merchants benefit from affiliate marketing by gaining access to a
wider audience of potential customers through the affiliates' marketing
efforts. This can help the merchant increase sales and grow their business.
It's important to note that affiliates must comply with all
relevant laws and regulations, including the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC)
guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Affiliates must disclose their
relationship with the merchant to their audience and must not make false or misleading
claims about the merchant's products or services
