How To Get Paid With Affiliate Marketing?

There are three main ways to get paid through affiliate marketing. These include:

Percentage of sale amount

Under this method, if someone purchases something through your link, you will receive a percentage of the amount of the sale. So if the product is $ 100 and you receive 25% for each sale, you will receive $ 25. The percentages can vary widely, from 1% to 50% and more.

Fixed base When you get paid on a fixed basis, you will earn income every time someone purchases something through your link. However, you will be paid the same amount regardless of the amount spent.

By contact called lead For this, you will be paid a certain amount for each lead you send to the business. A lead can be thought of as someone who gives the company their email address, signs up to create an account or affiliate site, etc. If you are able to drive a large amount of traffic to the business, pay per lead or prospect can be a great way to make money through affiliate marketing. However, the pay with pay per lead is not as high as the other two methods.

How long is an affiliate code tracked? Different affiliate programs have different timelines depending on when the customer has completed the action. For some affiliate programs, you may receive years of commission after the user clicks on your affiliate link (this is commonly referred to as lifetime cookies), for others you may receive a commission on each product that the person is buying. For other programs, you are only paid for up to 30 days after clicking on your affiliate link, and so on.

The timeframe varies depending on the affiliate program. Longer lead times are better, because often times a person won't buy a product or become a lead right away. They can think about the purchase or they can close the internet window, but you still want to receive a commission if they sign up later. This gives the customer more time to think about the purchase, which gives you a better chance of gaining a conversion.

How To Find Affiliate Programs If you like a product, there is probably an affiliate program. Some companies even have their own affiliate systems just for their specific products. And, there are also affiliate programs with hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of products listed in their network (these are called “affiliate networks”).

There are many ways to find affiliate programs. These include

Online research Affiliate networks Directly through the company Ask companies and friends

Online research If there is a specific product that you would like to promote, we recommend that you do a quick Google search to see if the company has an affiliate program. You can do this simply by typing in

"Company or Product Name + Affiliate Program".

This search will allow you to see exactly where their affiliate program is located, so you can apply and be accepted as quickly as possible.

For example: To see if Amazon has an affiliate program, type “Amazon affiliate program”. As you can see in the image below, this is the very first thing that appears.
