The Internet is a new frontier; the New Manifest Destiny of the 21st century. After you obtain real Estate, a domain, and your products, you can then start selling. It seems easy, but it’s a lot harder than it sounds. It requires a lot of serious dedication. Hours upon hours of research is needed to find the perfect industry.

There are several superstar affiliate marketers making a million plus in profits by marketing other people’s products. However, you must find a niche that can be easily exploited, and profited from.

In order to fully grasp the concept, you have to understand the Advertiser and the products or services you are selling.

Use this method to gain traffic and brand awareness:

Traffic & Branding

The amount of traffic an affiliate needs to send to an advertiser has to be significant in order for the affiliate to make some serious “Pay My Bills and Then Some” cash.  If we use an example of selling IPhones for $100, and Apple pays the affiliate 10%; in order to make $2000 a month, the affiliate would need to send Apple $20,000 in sales. That translates to 200 IPhones the affiliate has to sell.

With real world experience and testing, if an affiliate can get 5% of the traffic they send to the advertiser to t convert into 1 sale, then that translates to 4,000 visitors a month they have to send Apple.

From a Branding perspective, if only 5% of the traffic converts into sales, 100% of the traffic now knows the Apple brand.

From an affiliate’s perspective, they know they need to send 4,000 visitors to their landing pages to convert 200 people into sales for Apple.  This should result in $20,000 for Apple and $2000 a month for the affiliate.

Looking again from the advertiser’s perspective, their only cost for 4,000 people sending them traffic is $2,000, about $2 a person to get brand recognition. It only cost them $10 to make $100 sales revenue. The advertiser is winning. At the same time, the affiliate is making money but doing most of the work.

This is the relationship that affiliate and advertisers have with one another. They complement each other. An advertiser must get content, images, and videos of their products/services to the affiliate in order for the affiliate to do their job correctly.  The implementation of content is very significant and cannot be overlooked.
