You might have heard of many monetization techniques, but Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular monetization techniques for niche publishers. Affiliate marketing today is being used by millions of sites in a wide variety of verticals. The popularity of Affiliate marketing includes the potential for a higher success rate with a relatively minor audience and a deep pool of affiliate partners willing to pay to acquire new customers across the Globe.

Affiliate marketing is a very comprehensive term; under the Affiliate marketing umbrella, there is a wide range of different strategies that can also be employed to generate the higher affiliate revenue. The most lucrative and appropriate methods can depend on a number of factors, which also includes your site’s niche and the characteristics of your targeted audience.
Affiliate marketing is sort of like earning a reward or commission for sending a new customer to a company. The beauty of affiliate marketing is that you do not have to invest a big amount of time and effort to create a product to sell online. You can begin selling any product as an affiliate as soon as you have a perfect platform to sell it on.

How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?

In an affiliate program, you choose the products that you want to sell and sellers provide you with a unique affiliate code that can be used to refer traffic to your target site. Most of the affiliate programs offer ready-made banners, text links, and other forms of creative copies whereby you only have to copy the affiliate code and place it on your website to start referring traffic. Whenever interested visitors click on these links from your website they get redirected to the product site and if any visitor purchases a product or subscribe to a service then you as the referrer make a commission.

You don’t need to sell products always to make a commission. Different affiliate programs offer different payment terms such as:
Pay Per Sale: Once the purchase is complete, a merchant pays you a percentage of the sale price.
Pay Per Click: You get paid for the number of visitors you redirect from your affiliate website to the merchant’s website, whether a sale is made or not.
Pay Per Lead: You get paid based on the referred visitors provide their contact information on the target website by filling out a contact form.

Before we share the strategies that we’ve used to generate a big revenue in affiliate commissions per month at this point, we would like to share two extremely important rules we use when promoting the products that are not our own. These rules need not be followed blindly in order to become an affiliate or be successful in your campaign, but it is what has helped us to grow our affiliate income tremendously over the last couple of years and will help you too.

Always choose the products as an affiliate that you’re extremely very familiar with. Most preferably the products that you’ve used before and achieved good revenue. If you’re not confident in the products those you have chosen for affiliate marketing, and you don’t feel it will positively help the people, you should not promote that product.
Never directly tell anyone to buy any products. You should always recommend the products based on your personal experience and in the context of what you’ve done or what you’re doing. This way you can market the product in a very efficient way.
