You have to ask yourself, how does Affiliate Marketing work?
In these 3 very simple steps we will try to explain the Affiliate Marketing Process and how it works.
1- If you have realized now with the exploitation of Social Networks or the very simple way to start looking for anything of your Interest on the Internet or Google, to be exact. If this person is looking for something and during his search, he finds the missing information and clicks on the Affiliate Link or “hotlink”, and the Information or the content of the product persuades or attracts this person to click on the affiliate link.
2- This link will redirect you to another Website or the Original Sales Page of The Vendor, where you will have the option to make the purchase directly of the desired product.
3- In this way, the Affiliate will receive a commission based on the value of the product or services that the customer purchased on the site of the Merchant’s (company) of the product.
During this process, you will understand that 3 parties are involved in Affiliate Marketing: The Merchant (Company or Owner of the Product), The Affiliate, and the Client. Each time a sale is made, the Merchant and the Affiliate each receive their share of the revenue, which will depend on each other’s contribution. Let’s describe the Roles of each in a bit more detail:
The Merchant or Company.
The Merchant is known by many names, as a seller, it can be The Brand, The Creator, The Retailer, or Simply Seller. And it is the entity responsible for processing the final sale of the product. For example; The Nike Company, Produces all kinds of Sports Shoes or Shoes, then any Company or person who has a product to sell, can be The Merchant and thus be able to create an Affiliate marketing program so that these people (affiliates) promote their different products to the Clients.
The Affiliate or Publisher.
The person who is interested in joining any company could be classified indirectly in order to be able to market or promote the different products that any Company or Merchant has at their disposal, and by being able to sell their Company products, the Affiliate can earn money.
Depending on the Advertising Campaign that the Affiliate dominates, the income generated by the Affiliate will be, and the Affiliate will be the person in charge of promoting the Merchant’s product.
The Affiliate will generate income depending on how it generates traffic to its website since it will be the person in charge of attracting potential customers to its content and thus being able to convince them to buy the Merchant’s product. He will also be in charge of learning how to promote the product using the different digital platforms or different Social Media Networks or Promotion Channels on the Internet, such as Blogs, SEO, websites, and the different ways that the Affiliate learns and masters to be able to promote the product. of the Merchant.
The client.
We are going to have to understand that if there are no sales, there are no commissions, that is clear. And the way we are going to have to learn is by learning how to attract and reach the right people who are interested in the product. Little by little, the Affiliate will understand that to be successful in selling, we have to find that market or that preferred client. And so when we have chosen the Merchant’s Product, we must think about how to promote it and the customer buys it.
Determining an objective Marketing sales strategy in a niche will determine for sure where we want to go and who our potential customers will be. For example, if we want to sell Yoga Mats. We are going to have to understand who this product is aimed at, for example, we can predict that it is aimed at Women, between 25-40 years old, and that they are people who are more likely to be on Social Networks, so it would be very important to understand how we can find a way to promote and create content related to Yoga Mats and that these Clients may be interested in buying the product.
The way in which we can find our client is by beginning to classify what our possible interested clients would be and who are really interested in buying our product.
Basically, this is what is behind Affiliate Marketing. The Merchant and the Affiliate where there is a mutual agreement regarding the sales and traffic generated by the Affiliate promoting any product or service of the Merchant or the Company.
Of course, when you are new and starting out, there will be many questions related to how Affiliate Marketing really works, questions that you will gradually eliminate with the knowledge that you learn every day that you learn something and apply to the campaign that you are using.
As I said, there will always be questions, and maybe you yourself wondered what the Affiliate Marketing Trick really is?
Simply and simply there are no tricks because if you really train yourself in a reputation program where you will learn all the tricks and most importantly you will learn to take action on everything you learn every day, there will really be no reason for you to doubt How does this marketing system works?
Something extraordinary about Affiliate Marketing really benefits both parties involved in the process. Both the merchant and the Affiliate and the most benefited are the customers who receive all the benefits of the product they purchased. Little by little you will really learn how to promote or you will learn new techniques that will help you to be able to promote a product without investing much in paid advertising.
In addition, one of the biggest advantages for the Affiliate is that they will be able to sell Physical products, without actually storing or physically having the product in their hands, and the client will benefit the most benefited because they will find what they were looking for and thus be able to satisfy their needs.
