Amazon Associates – The Amazon affiliate program, is also known as “Amazon Associates”. It is a great way to monetize your website or blog. It’s as simple as signing up, and getting access to Amazon affiliate links that can then be placed on your very own website or blog.

Affiliate marketing can be an amazing sales channel for any online retailer.

Let’s learn the 2 sides of an affiliate equation when it comes to marketing.

You have the Product Creator and Seller and the Affiliate Marketer.

Affiliate marketing is the process of spreading product creation and product marketing across various parties, hence each party would then receive a share of the revenue, according to their contribution. It'’s not just the promotion or just the product creation that defines who you are as an affiliate marketer. You can be both the creator and the marketer and still profit from the underlying idea of sharing revenue.

Here Are Parts Of An Affiliate Marketing System.

Firstly we have the “Merchant” also known as the creator who creates the product also known as the Vendor. They don’t necessarily have to be actively involved they purely just need to have a product to sell. You too can become a merchant so that others promote your product, in exchange for giving them a commission from the sales that they make.

The other option is to become an affiliate marketer and promote a product or several products to the consumer and get paid a commission based on the sale. Interestingly enough affiliates are not only single individuals but also companies. As an affiliate marketing business, you can generate between a few hundred dollars in commissions each month or millions of dollars. You can promote one or multiple affiliate products with the end result being customers buying it.

When you pick a product make sure it's in a booming industry from a solid company that has world-class high in-demand products and services.

Personally, I chose a company that provides an eco marketing system that sits on the front end at a low cost which can be between $50 – $100 a month or a 1 off cost. It has a built-in training platform for entrepreneurs to upskill in affiliate marketing and can take those skills to promote anything on the internet including their own primary businesses. It has built-in multiple streams of income along with various products and services on the front end to the back end.

With this system, I can integrate an autoresponder that is set up to collect my leads that are generated through my own customized capture pages and my own marketing skills that are tracked. I can build a community highly targeted.

Affiliate marketing is by far a very profitable niche market, especially when you can actually relate to the products, instead of just promoting something that you yourself do not use.

When you don’t even know the product, how can you credibly promote it? Great food for thought. Do share your thoughts.
