Affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an
online merchant and affiliate, in which the affiliate earns a commission for
generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.
Affiliate marketing works in a win-win situation for
the merchant and the affiliate. The merchant gains opportunities to advertise
his products for free to a larger market which will increase his sales. The
more hard-working affiliates he gets, the more sales he can expect. By getting
affiliates to market his products and services, he is saving himself time,
effort and money in looking for possible markets and customers. When a client
clicks on the link in the affiliate website and purchases the product, recommends
it to others who look for the same item or buys it again, this way the merchant
leverage his chances of earning. On the other hand, the affiliate marketer
benefits from each customer who clicks on the link in his website and who
actually purchases the product or avails of the service provided by the
merchant. Usually the affiliate gets commission per sale, which can be fixed
percentage or fixed amount. The best is that it won't cost a single dime to
join an affiliate program.
