Nice explanation. Thanks.
in germany it is!
let me point out that this is not necessarily the case. You would need to be approved by the affiliate marketing company before you can start promoting the merchants products. If you don’t have a website, chances are you probably won’t be approved the company. so it’s best to probably have a website at the very least.
ok thank you
it’s like any other income – why would it be different?
is there tax income on affiliate marketing?
Hi Steve – If you want to be an affiliate you need to find vendors/merchants who have an affiliate program for their product. If they don’t then suggest to them that they start an affiliate program. Merchants either have their own (private) aff. programs or you can find affiliate offers in networks like linkshare, hydra, commission junction etc. Usually the merchant has a link on their site that says “make money” or “affiliates”. The links are found from within their affiliate system.
Hi Peter. Thanks for your video. I have a question for you in you dont mind… This is probably very basic stuff but here goes… Lets say i have a website and i wish to sell an affiliates product(s) on there. What is the process for making that happen? Is it as simple as sending an email inquiring about the possibility of doing so? Also, what are the tools/programmes i would need in order to set up my affiliate link on my website?
Thanks for your time Peter, its much appreciated.
That is Affiliate Marketing in a nutshell. Thanks for simply stating it the way it is. Anything you love you can usually find a company willing to pay you a commission for promoting it.
This is a good explanation of affiliate marketing. If you don’t have a website and you don’t know how to build one, you can easily start with a blog on blogger. Start your own blogger, post various articles around the subject of the affiliate product and place your affiliate links your articles.
Yes you can. Wherever people can click on your affiliate link will work… if they buy or whatever has to happen for you to get paid. But just don’t spam links everywhere.
Hi,
I’ve just discovered this thing and it sounds nice, but
I wanted to know, if I don’t have a website, can I still be an Affiliate? if so, how? (through mails? IM’s on MSN, Skype, etc…?
Thank you.
if it’s so urgent you can reach me through my site
Good video and I enjoyed the comments
hi im with a affiliate company and would like to talk to u personaly because i have serious questions i dont really ever use you tube but plz leave me a message letting me kno if we can talk thanks
The merchant who has the affiliate program will pay you in different ways. Some are check, some paypal, some both. Read the merchant affiliate program description for details. It might be 30 days or more before you are paid and there also could be a threshold before they pay you (e.g. min $100 or min 2 sales etc.) If you want to retrieve money from paypal you need to hook it up to a bank account and some countries are supported differently due to national banking systems and practices etc.
i need to know if a customer purchased an item from your affiliate link and you want to retrieve the commision amount from your paypal account. how would the process work will they send you a check in mail? will the money be sent to your bank account? and do you need a bank account to retrieve money from a sale you made through paypal?
i kind of understand now. but explaining it under or at 2 min doesn’t seem enough.
Hey you over shot 2 minutes!!
In the long run yes you should have your own site where you add value to the product being recommended. e.g. a thorough review site or offering some other product as a bonus. But many affiliates send traffic to merchants other ways e.g. with paid ads or email marketing etc.
I’ll probably make another video explaining it in under 2 minutes. would that help?
yes – the link can be on your site or anywhere else e.g. paid ads, banners, forum signatures (just don’t spam them), printed somewhere, etc.
i still dont understand do you need to know how to make a website to start this?
the more i go deeper the more confuseing it is. is there anyway u can put up a example, like how the blog or the link will go together.
cool, but i have a question. so the we need a website right? there is no “add to cart” or “buy” buttom right? just a little blog of the product and a link right?
