Understanding Affiliate Commissions
Now that you have decided to become an affiliate marketer your next step is to search out affiliate programs to join. There are lots of affiliate programs and one consideration to make when selecting them is to see what type of commissions they offer.
An affiliate commission is the payment you receive for sending a buyer to a certain website via your affiliate link. After the sale has been made you will be notified that you have earned a commission.
The thing about commission rates is that they vary. Some affiliate programs can offer as much as 75% while others such as the Amazon program pays out less than $10%.
When looking at commissions you need to take the actual product into consideration as well. If you are promoting a high ticket price such as a diamond ring or necklace then a 10% can still mean a nice pay day! But if you are only going to earn 4% on a $5 ebook then you have to determine if your effort is going to be worth the paycheck!
If you were to promote internet marketing products on a site like JV Zoo, then you can expect to earn higher commission rates. Plus the added advantage is that you can get paid instantly, which is always a nice benefit. The thing to remember with this type of product is that they are often only on sale for a week or so and then disappear from the marketplace. So unless you change your links they will point to a dead link.
If you are looking for longer term products to promote then look at the programs offered by sites such as CJ Affiliate, Amazon and Clickbank. You can find specific programs to promote such as car seats, yoga equipment, running shoes, lawn mowers and more.
Another aspect to look for when it comes to commissions is to see if they offer a two tier commission structure. A two tier network is when you, as the affiliate, get other affiliates to join the company's program. Then each time one of your referred affiliates get paid, you earn another commission. This can be a great way to add to your monthly affiliate commissions, so it is worth seeing if this option is available or not.
Some companies will actually increase your commission rate by your performance level. If you can demonstrate that you can send them lots of new customers they will be happy to reward you.
Even if they don't offer this it never hurts to ask, they will most likely be happy to reward top affiliates.
How to Set Up an Affiliate Site
Once you have selected the type of products you want to promote as an affiliate, your next step is to set up your website. While this is not really difficult, it can be a little confusing for the first timer. Let's take a look at how to easily set up your affiliate website so you can start promoting with your affiliate links.
In this example we will cover setting up an affiliate site for weight loss supplements.
Step One: Purchase a related domain name for this site along with hosting. This could be something like New Weight Loss Supplements, Weight Loss Supplements Reviewed or Buy Weight Loss Supplements.
Step Two: Install Wordpress on your site then choose an appropriate theme. You can use images from free photo sites to create a header. The basic Wordpress theme is also great for beginners and you can switch themes later on if you like.
Step Three: Sign up as an affiliate for the products or program you wish to promote. Market Health or Sell Health would be good choices here.
Step Four: Create pages on your site including a blog page, contact us page, product reviews and privacy pages. Refer to your affiliate program to ensure you abide by their terms and conditions.
Step Five: Create content for your website. This includes writing blog posts and articles about the supplements. Check the affiliate program to see if they have samples that you could use. Don't just copy the articles try to rewrite them and add your own thoughts and opinions to them.
Step Six: Add your affiliate link into your articles and posts.
Step Seven: Write product reviews pertaining to each product and include any images from the main website. Link the images with your affiliate link too.
Step Eight: Create general posts on your pages about the benefits of taking supplements, the best supplements, the worst supplements etc. This way you are providing readers with lots of facts and figures about weight loss supplements in general
Step Nine: Start promoting your site across your social media sites as well as via bookmarking sites.
Step Ten: Create product review videos and upload them to YouTube as well as embedding them into your website.
Step Eleven: Consider adding an Opt In form to your site to create your own mailing list. This way if the product suddenly stops being sold you still have access to your customers. Then it is just a matter of promoting a different supplement.
Step Twelve: Your website is never finished, continue adding new reviews and information. This keeps your readers coming back and it helps to increase your website rankings with the search engines.
