About Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a part of internet marketing is a way make money from the internet. In affiliate marketing, the money gained when we successfully sell products / services of a merchant or affiliate merchants. Merchant or affiliate merchant is a person or company that has products / services that they promote through the internet. While those who do not have the products / services for sale, can help in the affiliate merchants sell their products. For each product sold, they will get a commission, people who do so are "affiliate marketers", or affiliate. Sometimes they are also called 'associates' or' program partners', 'associate programs',' Bounty programs', 'referrer programs',' partner programs' or 'revenue sharing programs. There are many affiliate merchants that are willing to pay if we successfully get the prospective buyers that meet their qualifications. In the world of internet marketing, this prospective buyer usually known as "leads" or "prospects".
In the world of internet marketing, all affiliate marketers make sales through the 'special link' or known by the term 'affiliate link'. Affiliate link is provided by the affiliate merchant (owner of the goods / services). How affiliate link is as follows: Suppose we find a product online that we want to sell. Then we see a website offering affiliate program. After we learned that they are willing to give us a commission of 40% for each sale that we generate. We then enrolled in the affiliate program by filling a form. Usually the merchant will ask us to fill the full address, email, phone number, etc.. We will also be required to read the 'affiliate agreement. Affiliate agreement is a legal document that binds us to the affiliate merchant and when the people who click on our affiliate links and make a purchase, we will be given the commission for the sale.
Each affiliate link usually consists of a series of numbers or letters that is unique along with 'affiliate ID' us, we identify which functions as the only person who is responsible for sales generated through the affiliate link before!

There are many ways a profit (money) from affiliate marketing, namely:
1. Pay-Per-Sale Affiliate Program

Recurring Affiliate Program is a type of affiliate marketing commissions that give to us in the period fixed or periodically by affiliate merchants

Affiliate marketing program is usually offered if someone is a subscription service and monthly service. Such as web hosting, auto-responder and membership website such as the Asian Brain IMC.

Although we did not get a large percentage of the affiliate marketing program, but the program still can be useful for us. Why?

Help, we only sell the service to subscribe to this one, but the commission we receive can be forever, as long as customers pay their monthly fee!

3. Pay Per Lead Affiliate Program
Pay-per-lead is the type of affiliate marketing program that provides a flat payment for each of the prospects (leads) with the qualification that we take it to the merchant site through our affiliate link.

In this program, the affiliate merchant to decide whether the leads that we take or do not meet the qualifications. They usually make a decision of 'the prospects contact information,' that they get from us.

Program pay-per-lead generally comes from the best insurance sites, credit and home loan application.

Through affiliate marketing program, we can start a profit of 25 cents for each of the leads come to the website, up to $ 25 or more leads to fill the application completely.
4. Pay-Per-Click Affiliate Program
Pay-Per-Click Affiliate Program is a type of affiliate marketing that the money obtained at the time of an "ad links" on our site, we clicked by a visitor. That we need to do is behind the ad space on our site for the program. From every click on ads, we get a little money akan Program pay-per-click is popular at this time is Google's Adsense. In this program, we can place 1 to 3 of Google ads on every page our web site.
5. Pay-Per-Search Affiliate Program

We place the 'search box' on our website, and when there are people who search for something through our search box and click on the earlier of one or more links, we get paid.

There are many affiliate merchant programs that combine several different payments.
Example: They usually offer a 10 cent commission each time a person clicks on the banner and ONLY then 15% commission when the sale occurs.
There is also the merchant who offers the kind of bonus if we reach a certain sales figure. For example, PT. Asian Brain IMC will provide a laptop for those who have sold 500 membership Asian Brain IMC in 3 months, respectively.
There are two types of commissions on affiliate marketing, namely:
1. SINGLE-Tier COMMISSIONS: Commissions are paid in 1 level. This means we will get a commission from the sale of our own.
2-Tier COMMISSIONS: Commissions are paid in level 2. That is, we get a commission from the sale of our own PLUS sales from the affiliate that we carry.
2.3 Terms of Payment
As affiliates, we can not force the affiliate merchant to pay us a commission whenever we want!
Therefore, it is important to read and examine our affiliate agreement that they provide. Affiliate agreement can be obtained at the time we enrolled in the affiliate program.
The good news, most affiliate merchants pay us with a regular schedule and on time. Is usually every month, even 2 per week or whenever the time you've reached the value of sales in a certain amount (usually a minimum payment affiliate check is $ 20 or $ 100).

Especially for us who live in Indonesia, I recommend to take a commission when the affiliate has reached at least $ 100. Because, the cost charged by the bank to cash a check from outside the country now is about $ 20.
2.4 'cookies' &' Lifetime Commissions'
In the affiliate marketing world, we will hear the term "lifetime commisions". This means, affiliate merchants have a 'smart system' that can track each customer or prospect that again and decided to purchase the goods / services through the affiliate link is the first time introduce the customer before the goods / services are marketed.
They know about it through "cookies". Cookies are small programs that are given to each visitor web site when they click on our affiliate link.
Cookies store information on the visitor's computer. This information can identify us as an affiliate whenever a visitor back to the merchant site. Cookies usually ends at a certain time period. Ranging from a few days, monthly or even yearly. After that cookies will expire. To program "commisions lifetime", cookies will expire in a very long time, usually one year.
