I. What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is where you can earn commissions from a parent company by selling products for them. The parent company will provide you with all the advertising tools you need such as banners, links and tracking codes for you to place on your websites, in your emails or other sources. When a person visits your website or clicks on one of your ads, links and goes to the parent company’s website to make a transaction, the transaction is tracked. If this transaction results in a sale for the parent company, you are paid a predetermined commission.
In addition, if you introduce another person to join the business, it is called a referral. And the person you introduce sells the product, then you will continue to receive a certain amount of money on the total value of the sale. This is a typical form of Affiliate Marketing that most companies often use.
II. How to choose products
Before you choose affiliate products to sell, you need to focus on a core product that fits the market.
People in this market segment must not only like your products, but also be willing to pay a regular premium for them.
For example, the American cartoon character Mickey Mouse
– Kids love Mickey Mouse and this market segment is huge. But kids usually don’t have their own money to spend and buy Mickey Mouse related products, so you wouldn’t choose this market as your target market.
– The real market segment for Mickey Mouse is parents or teenagers, adults who love this cartoon character and are not afraid to spend money to satisfy their hobby.
