Affiliate Marketing Defined Part II

As you can now see, a network allows the merchant to advertise and promote his/her product or service massively through many affiliate marketers. This allows the merchant to spend time and money developing other products and services.
Affiliates use various forms of advertising to promote your products and services. Where you would only be able to maybe use a couple of methods on your own promotional web site, i.e., you have 50 affiliates using different forms of advertising as opposed to your 2 or 3 methods. While you as an individual are limited to how much you can do in the time that you have to promote your business, a network allows you to employ a vast number of other individuals who are willing to spend their own money to promote your product or service.
It is you, the merchant, who has complete control on how much your charge for your product or service and how much you will pay an affiliate for a sale that becomes the result of their advertising efforts. The affiliate network also offers many benefits to the affiliate marketer. The affiliate marketer promotes the affiliate program(s) that he/she signs up for. The marketer can choose to promote one product or service or to promote several.
Affiliate marketing can and is generating a full-time income for many affiliate marketers and merchants. Affiliate marketing, once it is learned is fairly simple and easy but there is a learning curve. A potential marketer must be persistent in learning the process. This persistence will pay off greatly in the end. The affiliate marketer should research each product or service that he/she intends to promote as well as the program details, i.e., payment methods, payment cycle, minimum commission before pay-out, etc.
In most cases, once the affiliate marketer has sent the potential customer to the merchants web site and they in turn complete the sale the affiliate is then out of the picture. But in some rare cases the affiliate will have to stand behind the product or service. Do your research. The less responsibility, as for the product or service, the better for the affiliate.
The affiliate is still responsible for his/her advertising and promotion campaigns. False claims and misleading advertising can get one into a lot of trouble. Just know the product or service and use the promotional materials that most merchants provide for their products/services. One may have to rewrite or modify these ads so that they don't appear generic but as long as you keep the content relevant and honest you will be alright.
As an affiliate marketer you should utilize every resource that is offered so that your potential for a growing income is maximized. Affiliate marketing is a win win opportunity for both the merchant and the affiliate marketer. If both work together each can profit from the other's efforts. This business model just makes sense. It is a very inexpensive way for one to start his/her own internet business and enjoy great success. The main goal is to generate traffic to the merchant web sites and to make your advertising and promotion campaigns stand out from the others. Now, take that big step! Get started in the easiest form of business today, Affiliate Marketing.

ARE YOU INSPIRED INTO ACTION?

Good Friday everyone,

I read this story this morning and thought I'd share it. hope you all have a great day & weekend.

ARE YOU INSPIRED INTO ACTION?
By Dr. Brad Swift
You know something that I most enjoy and appreciate about knowing and living true to my life purpose? It's the ability to be inspired into action.
This morning I awoke around 6:30 and lay in bed for a while listening to the singing of the birds outside my window. As I lay there, I noticed I felt odd - a filling leftover from a strange dream I'd had while sleeping. As I became more conscious of the sensation, I decided I didn't want to start my day in such a strange mood, so I continue to lie there but shifted my thoughts from the remnants of the dream to my life purpose.
As I recited my life purpose statement to myself, I began to notice my mood shifting as well. How could I be purposefully, passionately and playfully of service today?, I asked myself, then recalled what I had on my calendar -- the wonderful clients I'm honored to coach, the Purpose Projects that I'm working on with the Coaches Community, the new Coaches Development Program that is targeted to start next week. Within a few minutes, I found I just couldn't stay in bed any longer. The opportunity to live on purpose was simply too compelling.
Once more I was inspired into action by my life and life purpose. Now, this isn't meant to sound like bragging, so please don't hear it that way. I just wanted to share it with you in case you don't find yourself pulled into your life by your dreams, goals and desires. I know it wasn't so many years ago that the main thing that had me get out of bed most mornings was the need to go pee. There just wasn't anything else going on with my life that was all that inspiring or compelling. But not anymore.
Living a life on purpose is amazing, and it all starts with readiness, willingness, and yes, a commitment to clarify your life purpose so that you can begin to live true to it. So, I ask you: What action could you take this week to become clearer about your life purpose? How will you inspire yourself into action?
