Real time example of "How and steps required to do Affiliate Marketing" What is Affiliate Marketing? Affiliate Marketing in a simple way is: " Earning money aka commission(money) by promoting the products of sellers with other people according to the percentage basis from the price of the product". The commission depends on the Price, demand or both of that particular product(like electronic goods, household goods, furniture etc.,)" . It is also known as "Referral Marketing". Affiliate Marketing definition according to Wikipedia : "Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts" . Mechanism of the process There are three players in this process. They are 1. The Merchant(The product creator) 2. The Affiliate 3. The consumer 4. The Network (optional) 1 . Merchant : Merchant is the one who is the creator of product. It can be any firm, any individual, organization etc., who wants to advertise its product to reach many people. (Affiliate Marketing is also a mode of "advertising"). 2. Affiliate : Affiliate is nothing but, something which receives commission by promoting the merchant's product by its own ways, techniques etc., It can be any firm etc., who displays the products in his traffic source areas like a Website, firms etc., 3. Consumers : Consumers are the last ones in the process. They just purchase the products with the money they have. They are just the naive users and give the final review of the product. 4. The Network : This is not completely the part of the process but also plays the important role. It is the intermediate between the Merchant and the Affiliate. There are many parts in the world where the Affiliate can't reach every time. Here The Network plays a role. Network gets associated with affiliate and extends the business. Affiliate program must be managaeble by merchant. Check below for more. What happens in Affiliate Marketing As you just gone through the process, the network plays an important role. If you sign up as an affiliate in any of the affiliate permissible company, your job is the job of "Network". Yes, you will become a network for the Affiliate to reach the consumer. Because, every consumer will not spend his time in the Affiliates platform. If any product launched newly or else any information not known to the consumer then he/she can get informed by Network. If suppose, the consumer is reading a blog of his own interest, then a small banner of Affiliates Product, beside the content displayed informs the person about it. If the person purchases that product displayed(if he's reading your blog, email etc.,), you will get commission according to it.
