When I first started seriously looking at Internet Marketing and thought it was probably just another of those so-called "get rich quick" schemes, one of the things which made me think otherwise was when I discovered which companies offered these "Affiliate Schemes".
In a nutshell, this is how it all works:
Internet marketing is not new. Each and every year Internet marketers earn tens of billions of pounds or dollars online in revenue selling products for online companies. It may sound complicated but you will be surprised at how simple the process is. Making money online as an Internet marketer is broken down into three simple steps that anyone can learn.
- As an internet marketer, it is your job to send people to company websites. This can be done by various means. It's actually not difficult-I was completely "computer-illiterate" yet was making sales within weeks of starting.
- When those people make purchases, you are paid from the company who owns the product. There are thousands of companies online who are willing to pay you up to 90% of the entire sales price just for sending people to their site.
- At the end of each pay period, you receive your commissions-either in the form of a cheque or paid directly into your bank.
Within the UK alone, you might be surprised at the types of companies who offer these schemes. They include big names such as M&S, Boots, Halfords, PC World, Amazon, eBay and the Post Office-and these are really just the tip of the iceberg! In fact most companies offer some sort of affiliate scheme.
When you think about it, for the companies it's like having lots of sales reps out there paid on commission only-for us it's a massive potential source of income. If you consider the huge ranges of products within any one of the companies I've mentioned carry, you will perhaps begin to understand the potential in this.
There are many companies set up just to manage the affiliate schemes of the businesses. These kind of "bring them all together" in one place, offering a platform from which affiliates (like me) can pick and choose who they might like to promote.
Within the UK, there are several such companies-the ones I've used are very reputable.
The one I use most is AffiliateWindow and you can get a flavour for what they do by clicking on the link.
I hope this has given you a little food for thought.
