Building Wealth as an Affiliate Marketer

What is an Affiliate?

The Google Dictionary defines “affiliate” as: “…a person or organization officially attached to a larger body.”  So as an affiliate, you would be officially attached to a company or organization.  Wealthy Affiliate teaches you how to become an affiliate of hundreds of different companies.  WA also teaches you how to choose the companies best for you.

When You Become an Affiliate:

• Pick companies you know.  You will feel more comfortable with familiar companies.
• Choose companies that interest you.  If you don’t know the company, it should interest you.
• Learn the requirements and restrictions of the affiliate relationship.  Companies may have participation requirements.  Others may not allow you to be an affiliate and a customer.
• Know the affiliate compensation plan.  How much commission will you earn?
• Understand the company’s customers.  Who does business with the company?
• Research the company background.  Who are the founders? How old is the company?
• Focus on one company at a time.  Learn the ropes with one company before joining another.

What is a Marketer?

The Google Dictionary defines a “marketer” as: … one that promotes or sells a product or service.”   People say, “He markets real estate.”  As it happens, I market fishing equipment.

When you become a marketer:

• Know Your Product.  You should be able to answer questions about your product.
• Understand Your Customers.  This will help you know how to present your product.
• Use all Your Sales Tools.  Wealthy Affiliate has lots of tools and training on those tools.
• Be Consistent.  Whatever you decide is the best way to present your product, be consistent.
• Be Honest.  Don’t promise, hint at or write things that aren’t true.  Integrity is important.

An Affiliate Marketer is: officially attached to a larger body to promote or sell a product or service.

Examples of affiliate marketing:  google.com; yahoo.com; fishingmartlure.com.  Anytime a business markets the products of another business, they are affiliate marketing.  When a product is sold through a site, that site receives a commission.  For a small, home, online business, this means no inventory.

The Wealthy Affiliate Affiliate Program

One of the highest commission percentages online today, the WA affiliate program pays:

• $8.50 when someone purchases the first month of the premium program for $19.

• $175 for the yearly program or an annual renewal.

A few WA stats:

• 1 in 8 referrals buys a premium membership.
• The average person stays 6 months = $1+$8.50+$135 = $144.50
