Affiliate Programs
What is an affiliate program?
An affiliate program is a
program that allows a merchant to enlist webmasters to help sell
their product and reward them with a percentage of the sales.
Basically it is hiring sales people on a commission only basis.
Affiliate programs are good
tools for both earning revenue by referring sales to another
persons website or to drive customers to your own website for far
less than most other advertising would cost.
The advantage of using
webmasters to advertise your product is that you only pay if they
are successful. So you always make money. If someone sells a
million dollars of your products you will gladly give them a
commission, rather than paying for advertising up front and maybe
selling nothing.
And on the flip side, you only
get paid if you can get people to buy from a merchant website. So
if you are trying to capitalize on advertising revenue, you will
need to produce quality traffic.
We have created a list of
articles discussing how to make money using affiliate programs as
a webmaster or merchant. There are of course pros and cons to
every game.
