When people ask the question about what is affiliate marketing, they are looking to make some money on line. Affiliate marketing is, of course, the promoting of a product or service that is not owned by the marketer and, for their efforts, earn a commission for each sale. There are more multi millionaires, around the world, in this industry than in any other.

An affiliate marketer begins with three rules, or steps, in order to market other peoples products. Finding out what people want is paramount as they can not market something people do not want with any level of success. This can be done by talking with people. What a concept. This can also be found by checking in with Google or any of the other search engines. Find out what people are looking to buy or get more information about.

Taking the research that was done to find a product people want, locating an affiliate product clearing house will provide a lot of products to choose from. There are thousands of products that you can use as your entry into affiliate marketing. The creators of these products will often provide helps for you such as emails, banners and other resources.

As you sign up with one of these websites, you will be assigned an affiliate link for the products or products you will be promoting. This link will make sure all sales for that particular product gets credited to your account. The traffic you generate will be one of the major issues you will have and this is what makes for the amount of sales you will or will not make.

There are primarily three different categories of consumers to market to. The business community, Internet marketers and average consumers. The marketing will be a bit different for each category, however, there are a few activities that will help in all areas. Article marketing, if written and placed on high page rank websites know as directories, will garner a lot of attention. Pay Per Click advertising gets seen by all surfers when looking for certain things and is well placed to get the attention the marketer needs.

The other Internet marketers will be able to access the same things you do. They will need to be approached with new products they may not have heard about yet. Pay Per Click and joint ventures with Gurus in the niche will be your best bet. Since there are new products and services coming out every day, timing and the ability to get promotions out fast will help you in this area.

Marketing to a business community will need to take a different tack. Posting in some of the many Forums dealing with the industry you are trying to attract will help. Making well informed postings and answering questions your potential customers have will present you as an authority that simply must be listened to.

Repeating what you did in the first two parts of the plan is the last part of the plan. Getting the right product and advertising it everywhere you can are the first two steps. The repeating of that, everyday, will answer the question about what is affiliate marketing. It is the way to make the earning you have been looking for and a better life for you and your family.
