In one of my personal web endeavors, I have been enthralled in the world of Affiliate Marketing, to learn more about modern effective marketing, click here. You may of heard this word, but what the heck is it?
Affiliate marketing revolves on one basic concept. Traffic. The more traffic you get, the more money you make. That simple. A site I make that is traffic driven would be considered an affiliate. To do affiliate marketing, you need a business to be an affiliate for. Luckily there is a huge amount of programs that let you choose which business to affiliate for on the internet.
This blog by Super Affiliate Jonathan Volk provides a lot of information on affiliate marketing. It even provides a list of suggested affiliates for the different types of advertising you would be interested in pursuing.
One cool thing about affiliate marketing (at least cool to me since I love Economics) is that it is a fun economic game to play. Target market is always a very important thought to keep in your mind for picking advertisers. This means you must think about “What is the demographic of my market?”. For example, if you make a site that has a predominantly male audience but advertise Mary Kay, that might be a bad decision.
I will keep playing this game with custom websites I produce. I find it to be a very appealing way to make money. At the same time, understand this means I can easily affiliate up your site for you if you see large traffic numbers. Why not make some extra money as long as it doesn’t annoy your audience?
