Recently I have written an article: 8 Best ways to Earn Money Online. From

there you can get some thoughts to earn online. Affiliate marketing means

promoting the products of others online and get some commission on every sale

referred by you. Affiliate marketing is also similar to traditional marketing/sales,

but the only difference is doing it online. It is like driving sales to the third parties

with your referral URL. The affiliates/ third party sites will pay you money for

every referral driven by you. Affiliate marketing is a very simple thing where

anyone with basic computer knowledge can start it and earn bucks by spending

some time online.

Start Affiliate Marketing

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Promoting and selling others products online with your reference and get the

commission for every successful sale is called as an affiliate program. In other

words, we can also say affiliate is a mediator between customer and

brand/seller.

How do Affiliates work?

There are different ways to do affiliate marketing online, but the most popular

way is Blogging. In Blogging you need to start a website/Blog and start writing

articles about items(s) and other valuable information. With the help of your blog

you can sell items on the internet and meanwhile, your blog also becomes popular

and your online earnings also increase. Not only Blogging you can also make the

separate pages for each product and write some content which should include the

product introduction, Pro's. Con's and some final words, the product link (with

affiliate).

I'm giving an idea to start an affiliate site, first choose your niche as Offers/Deals

(like Tricksgyan.com/ Omgtricks.com) of all products. Here's what you need to

do is finding the best offers online and posting the offer links by adding your

special link and make it an affiliate link. Because nowadays this is having a lot of

demand and most of the people are searching for Discounts While buying

products online and by this way, you can target the maximum number of the

audience. But in Blogging, you can only target a specific niche/topic related

products.

The affiliate program is having No Risk. Here you can work anytime. But smart

work is more important than hard work in affiliates. Promote your affiliate site

through your social platforms and also using SEO strategies. Here you're only

investing in the website and nothing else.

Life Cycle of Affiliate Marketing

Step1: Showing your Affiliate Ad/Link on your website/blog.

Step2: Customer clicks on the Ad/Link (Affiliate).

Step3: Customer is sent to the website of the merchant/seller.

Step4: Customer purchase from the merchant’s website.

Step5: The Affiliate network will store the details of the transaction, referral.

Step6: The purchase should be confirmed as a valid sale by the merchant.

Step7: Now the referral amount for the transaction will be credited in your

Affiliate account.

Step8: You will get the commission payment into your Bank account directly.

How much does it cost to start an Affiliate?

The first and basic thing is we need to purchase a Domain (Ex:

www.deals4all.com) from any domain seller website. Later you need to go for

hosting and place the website in the hosting and connect your domain and

hosting then start the website. In WordPress, you can go for free themes/ premium

themes according to your budget. I suggest you go to Wordpress platform and find

the best themes like a clipper, newspaper etc and start your affiliate website.

How to get Affiliates from Merchants/ Third Parties?

First, we need to find the sites which provide affiliates and later register in their

affiliate program. After registering, we will get the special link and also the terms

and conditions, how to use the affiliate links, information etc. You can add this

special link to the product page link and make it as an affiliate link. Now you can

start promoting the product of merchant/seller/brand. By this way, the merchant

can track your orders with this special/affiliate link. They will also provide you

some affiliate login information/credentials here you can see the sales and

purchases done with your affiliates.

I want to show you an example for better understanding. So I'm choosing amazon

as my merchant and starting the affiliate.

1. Go to your search engine and search for an Amazon Affiliate Program,

Amazon Affiliate Registration etc. And find the affiliate program SignUp link and

start filling your details.

2. Fill the details and get the special/ unique link for affiliate tracking and now you

need to add the affiliate link where ever you are promoting the merchant product.

Affiliate link structure

The link will consist of Product link + Special link = Affiliate link

Ex: Let us buy a Johnson's Baby Soap through Amazon.

Affiliate Link: http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00D5Q75Z?tag=techiezap

Red Color - Product Link

Blue Color - Special Link

So first we need to search for products and get the product link and later add the

special link and finally make it as affiliate link and start the promotion.
