How Affiliate Marketing Works?

Coming directly to the point, the people who like to work as an affiliate and have website or blog are usually given a link to the merchant’s products / services. Mostly it is direct link that can be placed on the website or blog. When your readers come on your blog they can click on those affiliate links which will direct them onto the merchant’s website where one can buy the product.

Here is the catch, now the affiliate links place a cookie on the customer’s computer which is valid for good number of days and if any purchase is made on the merchant’s website then commission will be paid to affiliates.

So, more is the number of readers coming to your blog or website, higher is the chances of increase in your commission.

Under affiliate program, affiliates are paid commission as per sales. Amazon also uses the same method which is known as PPS (pay-per-sale model). There are some other compensation methods as well, such as cost-per-click (CPC), cost-per-action (CPA), or a cost-per-mille/cost-per-thousand views (CPM) based compensation mechanism to pay the affiliates.

The PPS based method is very popular which involves the counting of sales at the end of the process after which the affiliate gets his or her commission.

Internet cookies play a very important role because it helps to track the movements of buyers so that sales can be attributed to each affiliate.

However!

Earning big fortune and making big bucks right at the start still isn’t a child’s play, and that it requires time, perseverance, right knowledge, right set of tools, a bit of entrepreneurial knack and business know-how to excel.
