Getting started with Affiliate Marketing
To begin with, let me confess that I s**k when it come to affiliate marketing.
My affiliate earnings are pretty low (excluding the webmaster program referrals) and I am working hard on changing that.
If you are new to affiliate marketing, then to sum it all up, Affiliate marketing is one, wherein, you are paid a fixed/percentage commission on the income you are able to generate for an advertiser via your marketing efforts.
You link, your site visitor clicks on the link, they sign up or buy something on the clicked site and you get paid a fixed amount or a percentage of the income generated for the advertiser.
Now this post is all about building your own affiliate store in just a matter of minutes and making money out of it.
I would suggest that you initially add an affiliate store to your existing site to get the feel of it.
So we will now learn to create an Amazon affiliate store with a free script.
Amazon has an affiliate program, wherein, you can sell their products and earn a percentage in commission.
The reason why I choose them first, is because they have the largest portfolio of consumer good and so we can work with choice.
You will have to join their affiliate program to begin with. (Join Amazon Associates)
They do not have any restrictions for joining their affiliate program and all you have to do is fill up a brief application form with some details.
You can check their commission rates here: Associates Compensation
Now that we an affiliate account, we will need to use a script for setting up our affiliate store. The good thing is that we have a very beautiful script for just that, and it’s free.
