Four Affiliate Marketing Tips

Is it true that those who have web sites can earn thousands of dollars by just doing nothing? Sorry, but that is an exaggeration, often used by networks and online advertising agencies to woo the web site publishers.

If you have a web site the best way to make bucks is by joining as an affiliate. Even that needs some efforts and serious thoughts. You first have to find an affiliate marketing program that suits to your needs as well the web site.

Tip one: the content on your web site gives you a clue as which merchants to look for.

People may find it hard to choose from advertising and affiliate marketing. With some credible ad agencies in the industry the priority may already be formed. Still, give it a thought. Earnings in affiliate marketing can be much more than advertising.

Tip two: Go for affiliate marketing.

Shall I sign directly with a merchant or sign up an affiliate marketing program provided by a network? Good question. If you are an expert and know the merchant personally go for it. But if you are not, then sign up with the network.

Tip three: Network if you are new and merchant if you have a prior liaison.

Are there any chances of being cheated by the merchant or network? Again, good question. You really seem to be interested. Well, there are good chances and more in case of merchants. Affiliate networks provide the service to help publishers. They cannot afford to have a bad name or reputation in the online service industry.

Tip four: Rely on network more than a merchant or advertiser.

How much can I make in a month? Bad question. Just, go for details of an affiliate program, the commissions. Multiply the commissions by estimated sales or impressions you can bring in a month and you have the money. You are getting smarter and I think I should stop here.
