Affiliate Marketing For Beginners

June 10th, 2009 by Chandan Dutta

Affiliate Marketing - Is it looking like difficult thing for you? I am sorry if you know as I assumed you don’t know. But seriously I couldn’t understand anything when I first heard this word. Everywhere I used to see Affiliate Marketing, Niche, Clickbank etc and i was not able to catch what people are saying. That’s why now I am writing this post for your help.

It’s simple. Affiliate Marketing means you are selling other people’s stuff online for a commission. Its like normal offline marketing. For example In offline marketing retailer shop buy product from wholesaler and sell in higher price to customer. Retailer get commission when customer buy product from them.

Here is the great advantage of online Affiliate Marketing. You don’t need to buy any product from other, you don’t need your own product to make a profit. What you have to do is only to promote different merchant’s product and earn a commission when somebody by a product which is promoted buy you. You don’t need to handle any payment processing or delivering the product to customer. Merchant will handle all these stuff.

There are so many products available that you can promote online which ever you can imagine. For example software, ebook and any physical product etc. Digital products like software, ebook are very good to make money online as they offer higher commission.Commission range starts from 50%-70%. For example if a product price is $100, you can make up to $50 to $70 per sale. Is not this great?

You can be a part of Affiliate Marketing for free. Be an Affiliate for free, promote product and start making money online working from home.

Below I am giving a list of website where you can register for free and start promoting product:

How to promote product and make money online?

First you have to register as an affiliate. Then see the list of available products those you want to promote. I am giving and example of clickbank. Creating an account in clickbank is very easy. Its like creating an email account. Create and affiliate account and log in to your account.

Now use your search phrase in the search field. Click enter and you will see a lots of product list. For example I am searching for the keyword phrase “weight loss”. I got the following result:

There is two main part you need to understand. One is create hop link and other one is view pitch page. When you click the view pitch page, you will see the merchant’s home page. Before promoting any product always see the home page once. Now assume yourself as a customer. Now as a customer, after you have seen the landing page will you buy the product from that merchant’s? If your answer is yes means product is convenient to buy then you can go ahead and promote product.

Second important thing is Create HopLink. HopLink refers to a unique link that generated for you for each product. For each product you will be having different different hoplink. Creating HopLink is easy.

Now enter you ClickBank NickName(user id) in first test box. Tracking id is optional an leave it as blank as for now. Then click on Create button. See the following screen:

Create HopLink in ClickBank

Click on CREATE button and you will get your HopLink. See below screen for example:

ClickBank HopLink

Now that is the unique link generated for you for that particular product. you have to just promote this link. Once any customer goes to merchant’s website through your link and buy product, you will get the commission. Any customer, who click your link will be redirected to the merchant’s website.

This is the out line of Affiliate Marketing. To reach to the next level of Affiliate Marketing and Earn Money Online through Affiliate Marketing I highly recommend The Affiliate Marketing Power Series by Michael S. Brown. Michael S. Brown used to be an overworked drugstore manager but one day he decided he was through with it and instead took his business practices online. He quickly found success through affiliate marketing. From then he never looked back.

      You don’t need your own domain and hosting account for affiliate marketing. You can do with free blogs as well. But it is always good to have your own domain and hosting account.

  You are right Borhan. Affiliate Marketing is a good way to make money online but ClickBank products really need a lot of traffic. From my experience what I have found is selling info product is the best way to make money online. But product should be good.
