Affiliate Marketer 101

by Robert Kreuk

Affiliate programs. Theyve made rich people out of many, many people out there. For those who dont know, being an affiliate means youre selling other peoples products. For each one you sell you get a commission. Its a great system that rewards the seller, affiliate, and buyer. Everyone is happy, they each got something they wanted.

Before you can be a successful affiliate marketer you need to learn how to play the marketing game on the internet. It would be interesting to note, that most people visiting two sites, that are only slightly different, can be predicted what theyll do. Marketers test and test and test pages until they get the highest sales per page, and keep trying to perfect it until their sales arent getting any higher. Theyre very in tune to human nature and what someone will do and want to go on their websites. Proper placement and design are crucial to your success on your landing page.

The success they have does not come overnight, but that doesnt mean its hard to learn. Affiliate marketing, or just Internet Marketing, can have a steep learning curve for some. Once you break through that wall however, the wealth you want is limited only by your dedication to repeat your successes with as many other websites you want to create. The initial investment to get into internet and affiliate marketing can seem overpriced and unnecessary, but for a handful of products out there its worth the cost. What you learn and how you apply it will make it pay itself back over and over again.

If youve wanted to get into internet marketing but never took the plunge, now may be a good time too. Some of the best domain names are already gone, but there is still some fine pickings left for the creative and dedicated marketer. There are forums and people willing to teach you how to perfect this business too, all you need is the want and the drive to do it.
