The Affiliate Marketing Industry
Affiliate marketing is big business...
​
It is the most common type of marketing or business that happens on the internet.
​
And there are hundreds of companies around the world that are happy to pay you for your work as an affiliate.
​
Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other company's products online.
​
And with advanced marketing systems and tools in place, your marketing can be fully automated.
​
All you need is a platform such as a website, blog or social media channels.
Then explore relevant affiliate programs to promote.
​
Here’s how it works:
Promotion - As an affiliate marketer, you choose a niche or topic that aligns with your interests or expertise. Then you recommend products or services related to that niche.
Affiliate Links - When you join an affiliate program, you receive a unique affiliate link that contains a tracking ID. This link allows the merchant (the business whose products you're promoting) to track if someone makes a purchase through your link.
Cookies - When someone clicks on your affiliate link, a tiny file called a cookie is stored on their device. This cookie usually has an expiration date. Even if the person doesn't make an immediate purchase, the cookie ensures that you still earn a commission if they buy later.
Commission - If someone clicks your affiliate link and makes a purchase, whether immediately or later, you earn a commission. Commissions can be a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount.
​
So if you are someone who is looking to build a career online, this could be it.
This could be your launching pad into the online marketing world.​​
A world of endless possibilities...
​
In an era of great prosperity!

Affiliate Marketing
People are always searching online because they are looking for something, a certain result.
​
And if your product can fulfill their need, you can make a sale.
​
But first you want to bring that person into your world.
​
You want to build yourself a list of subscribers and potential customers.
​
Then you build you...
​
You let people know who you are and how you can help them.
​
You never consider your product to be your main business, because a product is just a means to an end.
​
And products can come and go.
​
You need to build you.
​
Because you are your business.
​
If you build you as an entrepreneur, your business will grow.
​
People will become attracted to you.
​
They will resonate with you.
​
People who are on the same frequency as you will naturally be drawn to you.
​
No matter what you are selling.
​
Sure products are important because people are looking for a certain result that the product provides.
​
But they will buy that product from you, because of the attraction.
​
So as you are building you, you are building a solid customer base.
​
So how do you do this...
It’s not always about the number of products that you promote, it’s about your core product.
​
Surround it with supplemental additional products that make sense to complement your main core product.
​
For example, if you go to Apple.com, they usually have one product they feature and everything else revolves around that product.
​
Sometimes the simpler the better.
​
Simplicity is important.
​
Find a product you believe in that you can promote.
​
Something that is in high demand in a booming and growing industry.
​
Something that makes you fulfilled, that makes you excited.
​
Something that gives you a sense of contribution to the marketplace.
​
And when you lay your head on the pillow at night, you sleep like a baby.
​
Knowing what you did was the right thing.
