Simplest Internet Marketing System
Affiliate Internet Marketing Strategy
So what really is the easiest internet marketing method possible? Well for me that's a no-brainer...it has to be affiliate internet marketing! Dunno what that is? Okay...let me explain:
WHAT IS AFFILIATE MARKETING?
Affiliate Marketing is the Promotion of Someone Else’s Product.
Affiliate marketing is a partnership between an affiliate and a merchant (the merchant being the owner of the product). Affiliate marketing may also be referred to as affiliate programs, referral programs and associate programs.
Here’s how affiliate marketing works…You (the affiliate) promote or advertise a product on your site that belongs to somebody else (the merchant).
Basically, the merchant supplies you with a variety of text links, banners or graphics embedded with your own affiliate code. You then strategically insert any number of those coded links or graphics onto your website with the purpose of referring your visitors to the merchant’s site.
When one of your site’s visitors clicks on any one of those code-imbedded links they are transferred to the merchant’s site.
If that visitor then purchases something from that merchant…ka-ching you get paid!
So in essence you are being paid to advertise.
The amount you’re paid is what is known as a commission and varies from merchant to merchant, and in the best case scenarios may be as high as 75% of the price of the item being sold.

(Some affiliate programs such as Amazon.com require huge sale volumes for you to make any tangible income. This is so because they offer low commission percentages (approx 5%) because they do not have sole proprietorship rights to the products they sell: bottom line don't think you are going to get rich any time soon affiliating only with Amazon.com…I learnt this lesson the hard way).
So how does the merchant know that you were responsible for the referral and ultimately the sale?
That's where your affiliate code comes in. Every affiliate is given a unique and distinct code which gets imbedded into whatever promotional tool they are using, be it text links, banners or graphics.
When a visitor who originated from your site buys something from a given merchant, that merchant can tell that you were responsible for the referral.
Great isn't it—Getting paid to promote somebody else's merchandise!
You never have to deal with:
• Shipping and handling;
• Processing credit cards;
• Customer support; or
• Stocking inventory
This really is the very best type of business to be involved with.
However you should be aware that not all affiliate programs are created equal so to help ensure that you only join the best programs I have written a guide-list of important factors you should consider before signing up.
