Affiliate
marketing is a fairly new industry that exists mostly in part thanks to the
development of the world wide web in the late 1980's and early 1990's. After
the introduction of the internet and the invention of the home computer system,
companies soon realized how beneficial it is for them to have an online
presence. This is when affiliate marketing was born. Besides basic online
marketing methods such as CPM or fixed placement, affiliate marketing started
becoming more and more popular throughout the 90's and into the millennium. An
affiliate marketer is best described as a person who promotes products in order
to receive a percentage of the sales from the company that sells them. Within
the industry the roles of the promoter and the company whose products they are
promoting are also commonly referred to as the advertiser and the publisher.
This is because not every advertiser is looking to spread the word about their
products, some actually only offer services. For example, an insurance company
who is selling policies would contractually agree to pay publishers a
percentage of their sales for every client that is referred to them. In order
to help publishers advertise their products or services, advertisers usually
provide them with special links in addition to banner or text ads. When a
visitor clicks the publisher's ad and ends up purchasing the product or
service, it will be tracked and recorded so they can receive their commission.
Being a successful affiliate marketer requires substantial knowledge about
networking, but there are actually quite a few websites who bring advertisers
and publishers together. Some of the most trusted affiliate marketing programs
include Amazon, Commission Junction, LinkShare and ShareASale. While it's free
to sign up for these websites, most of them allow the advertiser to approve or
deny an application to their affiliate program from a publisher.If you want to make money at home go to;
