Affiliate Marketing What Is It And Why Use It?
By Stephen Warren
Affiliate Marketing is having Affiliates do your Marketing for you. What I mean by Affiliate is someone who tells people about your product/service and you pay them for a desired response, such as a purchase.
Affiliate Marketing is one of the best ways to get the word out about your product/service.The best way to pay Affiliates is pay per sale. This means that you only have to pay your Affiliates when they actually make a sale. This reduces your advertising costs dramatically. Using Affiliate is a very cheap way to advertise, however it is very effective. Please remember that 5% of your Affiliates will do 95% of the selling. To find out about teaching your Affiliates please see the "How To Super Charge Your Affiliates" article
How Much Should You Pay Your Affiliates. How much you pay your Affiliates really depends on how much your product/service costs, its profit margin, how much you're willing to give up and what action you want to take place. Your product is priced at $100 so a $50 commission is quite generous. For example, if you rely solely on your Affiliates to Market for you, then you may want to reduce the commission you pay to them to help you survive.
