 What is AffiliateMarketing ?

It is a recommended business model  for you to do if you do not have a good product to sell. A successful affiliate marketer can generate tens of thousands of US dollars per month or Multi-million per month. So do not underestimate this simple business model.

Every business model have  their advantages and disadvantages, but affiliate marketing is a great business model. I myself used to initially learn internet marketing, starting from affiliate marketing. Having understood a lot, then I go to various other business models such as the Online Store, Information Business and others.

There are 17 advantages of doing affiliate marketing compared to conventional business or any other business model. Sources idea of this post is from one of the Top Affiliate Marketer posts abroad named Rosalind.

   So what is the 17 advantages of Affiliate Marketing?

1. There are no production costs - high cost to develop and create new products generally prevent a lot of people to make their own products. With affiliate marketing, the cost of production is not a problem because the product is already developed and proven - with the money of the merchants.
2. Low initial cost - Compared to build a store on the street, being an affiliate marketer is just a desk, Internet-connected computer and some software to help.
3. There are no fees or license - A distributor in the real world often have to pay a license fee to be able to market a product in a certain limited area . Affiliate programs in contrast, are generally free to join and  marketing target area  is not limited.
4. Can sell anything - In the modern and developed countries, almost all goods purchased online. In the developed countries people began to buy stuff online like books, software, electronics, CD and others. There are tens of thousands of affiliate programs that you can choose to be promoted.
5. No need sales experience / sell - When you start affiliate marketing, you do not need sales experience. Generally, the merchant provides a great marketing materials that can be used on an affiliate website that we created.
6. There need be no employees - Anyone who has ever made a business must know how it feels to have employees. I personally ever started a company that has only 2-3 employees up to companies with more than 50 employees. If I could choose, I would like to have a turnover of large companies, without employees, life would be more fun . This is possible with affiliate marketing business.
7. Do not bear the cost of order processing - To process your orders online, merchants need to pay a merchant account, credit card processing fee, the fee in case of credit card fraud / theft, fee refund / cancellation of orders etc. Something that does not need to be paid or taking care  by an affiliate marketer him self.
8. There should be no stock of goods - As an affiliate marketer, you can sell large items such as furniture, electronic goods without the need to bother with a stock of goods.
9. No need to process an order - Forget the problems that could arise due to collect names, addresses, credit cards and others. Merchants who handle all of it.
10. No need to bother sending - Fees and intricacy to prepare and send the products to the customers all over the world sometimes are really scared. One of top training speaker has an experience when he was  in the cassette manufacturing business training to other top speakers in Indonesia. While there’s a lot of order he has to working  overtime to prepare and send the goods to the buyer even though he had  employees.
11. No Need For Customer Service - Have customers is a good thing, but when it comes to facing customer complaints and sometimes there is a customer who is really talkactive and chatty, you will be grateful as an affiliate marketer for your merchants who have to deal with all that.
12. Make money while you sleep – What kind of business that can let you continue to operate 24 hours for 365 days even when you are sleeping, coming home and even vacation?
13. Markets around the world - the Internet is the biggest market in the world. You can bring the visitor / visitors to your online store from all over the world.
14. Working from home - working from home is often a dream for many workers who have to spend a long time just to get to work. So parents have more time for family while working from home.
15. Work from anywhere in the world - This is one of the main reasons I do affiliate marketing. I would like to travel to foreign countries and throughout Indonesia and can still monitor my business with a laptop connected to the Internet.
16. Small risk - If you are unable to receive income from the products you promote, discard it, replace premises other products by replacing a link on your website. Just that. No contracts / commitments that require you to sell a particular product.
17. Great earning potential - the potential income that you earn depends on your hard work and your dreams. As I said earlier, there are affiliate marketers who generate hundreds of thousands of US dollars or billions of rupiah per month, not per year. But there are also affiliate marketers who are satisfied with the produce ten million rupiah per month. It's your own choice.

Although it has 17 surplus above, affiliate marketing is not without flaws. I will discuss in another post about the shortcomings of this business model. There is a lot of material to learn affiliate marketing on the internet, please google it. You will definitely drunk at how much free material that can be learned about this topic.

WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?

One of the popular business model in the world of internet marketing or internet business is affiliate marketing.

Someone who’s  just learning internet marketing, often learning about affiliate marketing because the process is easier than to create and sell their own products. You can read the article about 17 Advantages of Affiliate Marketing if you want to know what is the advantages of affiliate marketing.

Ok back to topic: What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is actually a business model that has always been there, just the name alone that now seem sophisticated, but on the first business activity already exist, namely a business broker  or intermediary .

The difference is only that the workings of affiliate marketing is in the world of internet / online so they can be referred as online broker  so   do not be touchy if  people called you a broker, I am also an affiliate marketer, so it's also a broker, the same LOL.

Offline Broker Case example

Offline broker example or broker in the real world that's easy to tell is in the business of wedding services.  For example:  “A”  salon is a provider such as a wedding dress and makeup for the bride and groom.  A woman called Wati fit with the design of a wedding dress from  “A”  salon and decided to take the package provided by “A”  salon which  is a wedding dress and makeup / bridal makeup.

If the owner of  “A”  salon  is a smart seller (most people from salon/salon worker  are indeed smart sales), he will offer to  Wati to take all the bridal stage decoration with prices according to “A”  salon owner is cheap and good. Of course, the order must pass “A”  salon owner to be cheaper. Remember the key word 'pass'.

Wati agreed to order a wedding stage decoration through the “A”  salon owner. Not finished until here, the owner of the “A” salon  inquire back to  Wati, whether already booked a wedding car. Of course, usually not, is it still three months away illegitimate. So here’s what happen  Wati in addition to buying a wedding dress and makeup package from “A”  Salon , also booked a wedding car and stage decoration   with the owner of the “A”  salon.

The owner of the “A” salon  clearly will receive a commission from the owners of stage decoration service and  from the owner of the   bride car rental service  as well.    

This relationship is a win-win.

Wati so do not bother to seek the services of stage decoration and wedding car rental, and also can get it at a cheaper price. The “A” salon owner got commission,  The stage decoration service providers and wedding car rental services are also happy because they got order without having to search again, although they have to pay a small commission.

Well, that's how  Offline Broker works.

How Affiliate Marketing / Online Broker Works

Well now how online broker or affiliate marketing work? See the diagram below for more details.

Simple way to  describe the main task of an affiliate marketer is to send many-many visitors to the merchant website / store. When visitor make a purchase or conduct a transaction at the merchant website, the merchant will know that the visitor came from you and therefore you will be given a commission by the merchant.

How does the merchant know the visitor came from you?

When a visitor comes to your affiliate website and click on a link that took him to the merchant's website, at the time it is actually the process that happens behind the scenes.

A cookie, a technical term, which is actually a small file placed on your buyer computer when they click the link to the merchant's website. This cookies are useful to inform the merchant that the visitor  had come from which  affiliate / broker so it will not happen that the merchant pays a commission to  another affiliate.

Well that's just the actual affiliate marketing.

Simple isn’t? Yes very simple, is it easy? Not always. You need to work to succeed in affiliate marketing, just like any business. Remember this is a business, not a lottery.

At the overseas country, almost all merchants / stores that sell products and services have affiliate programs. From big names such as: Walmart, Home Depot, eBay, Yahoo, Dell, HP, Sony to small merchants who most likely have never heard of him.

There are thousands or even tens of thousands of merchants that have affiliate programs. So as an affiliate marketer, you will never be short of products / services that want to be promoted. On the contrary, you will often be confused to promote which products / services / offers. Time for each person is only a maximum of 24 hours, therefore you must selectively choose a merchant or affiliate program which wants to promote.
