 What is Affiliate Marketing?
|
 |
To sell more products without incurring more costs or employing more people is every merchant's wish. Affiliates are the answer. Affiliate programs are a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. |

| Traditional Affiliate Marketing
|
| To make lots of money an affiliate needs to create many web sites, each dealing with a unique product. Technical knowledge is required to do this, and it takes a long time to get going, as it is difficult to attract visitors to a web site without a knowledge of search engine optimisation (SEO) and/or pay-per-click (PPC) techniques. Once the affiliate program does start paying, however, it runs itself, until interest in the product or service wanes. Merchants are sometimes slow to pay, and, if their tracking system is unreliable, the affiliate may not be paid at all. One person can maintain one or two web sites, but will probably outsource work as the load becomes heavier. |
Why now the Money-Engine?
|
| Unless the affiliate wishes to do so, there's no need to create a web site at all. The affiliate's Money-Engine page comes already stocked with three niche products which are changed by the merchant when customer interest in them wanes. The Money-Engine product page is already optimised to be found by search engines. The affiliate assists sales by posting blogs, publishing articles, etc., containing links back to the Money-Engine product page. Affiliate commissions are not at risk, because they are paid in full as soon as a customer buys a product. Affiliates can set up many Money-Engines for many niche products. An affiliate's Money-Engine page also attracts other affiliates, thus enabling an affiliate network to be built. Everything is handled automatically by the Money-Engine software. |
