What is Affiliate Programme?

Affiliate programme can simple be define as a great channel of making extra money on the internet. There are so many ways of participating and achieve success from affiliate programmes but I’ll rather concentrate on what works best for me. You write good content and then link it to the products that you talked about in your blog/website and when one of your customers or readers clicks on the provided link and eventually buys the product, you receive a commission for the sale.

The simple reason why affiliate programmes work so well is simply because you don’t have to rely on match up advertisement the content you provided by a computer. Instead, you do it yourself. And this is because you simply know the best advertisements that would work best on your content and also which products and services to recommend. And when your readers and customers see that you've taken the time to review a product or service, they'll eventually feel more comfortable buying that product. But note that it is always helpful when the product or service you are advertising is often used or has personally been used by you, this helps you in writing good content regarding such product or service. Such experience also assists you in having a good review of the said products and services.

How Do You Get Paid?

Most affiliate programmes have specific rules and policy about how they pay their affiliates, but there are two common ways that you can expect to see:

· Pay per click - This means you get paid whenever someone clicks on the link, button, or image you placed on your site. Pay per click is similar to most online advertising, and it usually pays low.

· Pay per action - This mode of paying affiliates is quite different from pay per click method of payment. This method tracks what the customer does once they leave your site, Instead of paying you every time someone clicks on a link from your site. You might be paid a percentage of any sales they make or you might get paid every time someone moves deeper into the target site. This method can be very lucrative especially when you get a percentage of sales.

How Much Do Affiliate Programs Pay

I know this question rings bell in your mind but to be honest with you, there are so many factors that determine how much you’re paid or get paid. This is because there are variations from site to site and programme also varies from other programme. I know some programmes where people made thousands of dollars per month and others where you hardly made any money. Also, it all depends on what you put in form of investment or the number of hours you put in working to make everything work well for you and your affiliate business.
