First – What Is An Affiliate Product?

 

I remember the first time I heard of Affiliate Marketing, I was watching an infomercial. It was an easy concept for me to understand because of the experiences of my life.

Most people understand that there are products, such as automobiles, that when purchased in a retail environment, the salesperson receives a commission.

I was very aware of this because I had family members who were automobile salesmen, and yes they were men. 🙂  Also, when I worked in retail, I was promoted to the shoe department because they wanted to give me the opportunity to earn a commission on each pair of shoes I sold.

A company or person has a product, service or talent to sell, to those who have a need or desire for their product, service or talent.

That is the way of life and it has been for a very long time.

Nothing has really changed except technology!

Today, though we still have brick and mortar buildings where we still do some of our shopping, more and more people are turning to the internet not just to seek information but to do their shopping as well!

This is where Affiliate Marketing comes in!

In this situation you become the Affiliate, as you affiliate yourself with the company, to promote and market their product or service, in order to earn a commission which is a percentage of the sale price. This is your Affiliate product!

 

How Do You Promote And Market The Product?

 

Sales techniques haven’t really changed. Only the process that is dictated because of the technological changes.

 

To launch a successful marketing campaign you still need:

To know your product

To know your customer

To be able to communicate with you customer, and

To have the tools to advertise so as to locate and connect with your customer

 

The advantage of the internet is that the world is your audience and you have an incredible, unlimited global potential!
