Affiliate programs
Affiliate programs are an advertiser's way of generating revenue
through the use of other companies/people. We will use ClickBank
for example, when an e-book is submitted to ClickBank it is
submitted with a sales page and an affiliate program. The
affiliate programme will offer the opportunity for others to
sell the product and in return a percentage of the sale price is
given to the affiliate. If you take this book for example if you
were to submit it to ClickBank and offer a 49% commission to all
affiliates who sold it, affiliates would sign up to the
ClickBank affiliate program and find this book in the lists of
e-books and a hyperlink would be issued with a personalized
ClickBank ID integrated inside the link. Place the personalized
link on a website, in e-books or generally anywhere that the
advertiser would think that will generate traffic. The
personalized link will direct the customer to the sales page of
this e-book. If they read it and buy the e-book you will receive
51% commission. So if 1000 people sell your e-book for you
that's $25.50 x 1000 = $25,500 which is quite a nice little
earner for writing an e-book.
Joining affiliate programs on Clickbank and promoting other
peoples e-books is even easier than writing your own e-book.
Being an affiliate is easy money for very little work it is that
simple. Can you now imagine how much money you would have made
if you were an advertising affiliate of this e-book? 49%
commission earned from every sale, say you sell 1000 that's
$24.50 x 1000 = $24,500 for only advertising and selling one
guys e-book "WOW" now can you see the importance of affiliates
in Internet Marketing. Here is a list of some of the top
affiliate program companies. Please take some time to join and
browse as these affiliate companies have thousands of affiliate
partners. I think you will be quite amazed at which companies
you can actually be related to:
www.cj.com/home.jsp Commission Junction has some of the best
affiliate programs available. http://clickbank.com As mentioned
above, ClickBank offers commission on all types of e-books from
independent Authors.
www.tradedoubler.com/pan/public Tradedoubler is very similar to
commission junction in most respects
www.affiliatefuture.co.uk Affiliate future in my opinion is not
as good as the other three but it still has a lot to offer.
http://www.linkshare.com some excellent companies to choose from
here
These are but a few of the affiliate companies out there, you
can also become affiliates of stand alone companies for example
888.com have an excellent affiliate program 1 and 1 internet
hosting also have a good program. No matter which
companies/programs you join you will always make money from
affiliates and your revenue will always grow.
If you were to write an e-book about hair loss for example then
in the e-book you may want to place a resources page somewhere
in the contents. On this resources page place your affiliate
advertiser's link, which you acquired from Commission Junction,
affiliate future, ClickBank and so on. Then as discussed earlier
sell your book with resale rights and wait for the commission to
come in! It's that simple. Take advantage of all the ways you
can use affiliates and it will pay off. For more infromation on
