What precisely is affiliate marketing?
Simply put, affiliate marketing means marketing as an affiliate. This basically means selling products in order to get commission – just as you
might do as a door-to-door salesman for cable TV.
Of course the life of a door-to-door salesman is a rather unpleasant one because they’re traveling around all day, getting doors slammed in their
face and only earning money if they get fortunate enough to land a sale. As a salesman you live and die by your ability to persuade a cynical audience
and you invest huge amounts of time to try and make the sale.
Is Affiliate Marketing life like a door-to-door salesman life?
In Affiliate Marketing things are a little different. Now you’ll be selling products for commission but you’ll be doing it through the web and you’ll be letting your customers come to you.
You’ll have any means necessary available to you to achieve this with and you’ll be able to constantly tweak and improve the system you’re using to make sales.
What’s more, you can learn from the advice and mistakes of others and in some cases even use templates. In fact, you can even outsource the marketing process!
And because you’re investing less time in marketing this way, you can take on as many different products as you want and thereby scale up your income significantly.
That’s affiliate marketing in a nutshell but what do the numbers say?
Affiliate marketing has certainly been growing over the years with about 5.7% of big affiliate marketers starting in 2006 versus 13.9% in 2012. Most
affiliate marketers are between 31-40 according to surveys and target B2C products (business to consumer) rather than B2B (business to business).
91% of these affiliate marketers choose e-mail marketing as their primary method of contacting customers while 60% work from home.
How much money can I make with Affiliate Marketing?
What’s really interesting though is the salary. While nearly 40% of affiliate marketers earned below $5K in 2013 and use it as a secondary source of
income, the top earners surveyed earned as much as $500K (this accounted for 3.3% of marketers). 50% were earning at least $10K a year.
