The Advantages of Affiliate Marketing
The concept of revenue sharing has been around for quite a while, long before the internet. But the idea of affiliate marketing has taken it to new levels, and become a staple form of advertising and bringing in business for all types of e-commerce.
Online merchants find affiliate marketing highly advantageous due to the fact that it presents little to no risk both for the merchant and the ‘affiliate.’ The way it works is that the affiliate earns a type of commission or fixed amount based on the number of sales the affiliate brings to the merchant, either through on-line links on the affiliates website – or through email, blogs, rss feeds and many other kinds of on-line communication. Some merchants (only about 1% of affiliate marketing) use a cost-per-click remuneration system, which simply means that the affiliate earns every time an internet searcher clicks on an advert on their site or email. However, due to fraudsters taking advantage of this method (creating ad-ware, sending spam, or useless indexing sites) this form of remuneration is not preferred and becomes too risky for merchants to use.

Social Media has become a major phenomenon. It has spawned a whole new vocabulary of terms that will perhaps add several more pages into the Oxford (or Merriam-Webster’s) Dictionary. People are tweeting, Facebooking, tagging, liking, sharing, embedding and wall writing. Some are LIONs, some LIONs are also tweeting… And guess what, these Tweeting LIONs can even have their own channel… Imagine that…

A little insight for your Internet Marketing Career
Pulled this one deep in my hard drive’s basement. Pretty old, written about 4 years or so ago, so some of the stuff may be outdated… Will have to “refurbish” the thing to make it a little bit more up-to-date. But it’s 10:30PM, although I’m normally still wide awake at this time, I have been operating on a 4-hour sleep schedule and been up since 5 this morning (yes, I would like some cheese to go with my whine…)
Rambling aside, this will do for now… I’ll try to have an updated version of this guy in a few, after I get me some much needed shut-eye… Read more
