What is an affiliate program and how to make money from it? The best affiliate programs for making money. Now let's make some rough calculations. How to overcome possible conflicts

Very often it is impossible to organize a business without attracting partners. Sometimes there is not enough own funds or, conversely, the income received requires proper placement. This is how a partnership business appears, where several people are the owners of a commercial organization.

But at the same time, starting any entrepreneurial activity has its advantages and disadvantages. It is not for nothing that among former partners the most big number V best case scenario competitors, and at worst - worst enemies. Therefore, it is better to consider all possible nuances at the formation stage.

Pros and cons of affiliate business

Here are some clear advantages of doing business together.

It is easier for a team of like-minded people to start a business than for an individual. Affiliate business is an excellent confirmation of this fact.
All victories and defeats can be divided in half. Physical, financial, and emotional burdens are distributed among all project participants.
You can be present in several places at the same time - one person per place.
The partner will provide assistance if necessary.

But if you look at entrepreneurship from the other side, a number of significant disadvantages arise.

The main burden that characterizes a partnership business is that the other participant may be less experienced. Spending more effort due to inexperience, it will seem to him that the return on business is incompatible with these efforts. The result is rapid burnout and loss of interest in joint business.
The co-owner may lose heart and infect others with emotional helplessness.
You have to adapt to your companion and breaking off relations with him is quite problematic.
Money earned in a joint project must be divided with other participants.

But quite often circumstances develop in such a way that, despite the presence of a large number of both minuses and pluses, an affiliate business is the only solution in a particular situation. The question immediately arises of how best to organize such a business.

Types of commercial organizations for joint ventures

In modern legislation, there are several different types of organizations where the owners are several people.

Economic partnership. Here, each of the participants (founders) is liable for all obligations of the partnership with all the property belonging to him.
Economical society. The founders are not liable for obligations with their property. The measure of liability applies only to shares of the contributed authorized capital.
A production cooperative or artel is an association of several citizens on the basis of membership, through labor participation or making share contributions.

Investing in a new enterprise with all your property means taking a big risk. If your new business fails, you could lose everything. Production cooperatives are created mainly for craft enterprises: shoemakers and repair shops, ateliers and other similar organizations. If the new organization has nothing to do with such a business, then it is best to settle on a business company. There are also several divisions here.

Business entities as a way to organize a partnership business

A limited liability company is a company where the charter capital is divided into shares among participants. This division can be very different according to the share of participation of each partner. Moreover, the founders can be either individuals, as well as other organizations. The responsibility of the company's participants is determined by the charter and the constituent agreement, this is stated in Art. 67 Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
A joint stock company is an organization where the authorized capital is divided into a certain number of shares. These securities certify the binding rights of each shareholder. The Law “On Joint Stock Companies” implements legal regulation such organizations, that is, the procedure for issuing and purchasing shares, methods of merger and division or transformation of the company itself.

Joint stock companies are divided into closed and open. If the shares of the company are circulated only between the founders or a strictly specified circle of persons, then Joint-Stock Company called closed. The Supervisory Board, General Meeting and Board of Directors manage the JSC.

If an enterprise is being created for the first time in its life, then choosing a joint stock company is not always justified. In this organizational structure a large number of the most different documents. It is better to focus on a limited liability company.

How to overcome possible conflicts

Deadlock situations arise only when the partnership business is not formalized enough and is not supported by documents. Therefore, at the stage of formation new organization You must immediately focus on the following necessary components:

Availability of adequate documents describing the internal life of the enterprise. Documents must be viable and competitive. By documents we mean the charter, regulations on activities, job descriptions, description of the workplace, business processes, etc.
Formalized procedure for resolving conflicts. In many companies where the organization of work is a partnership business, there are documents regulating behavior when conflict situations. But the provisions contained in them are not communicated to employees and, as a result, are not functional.
The existence of an employee or external specialist at the enterprise who is responsible for a timely response to tensions arising within the organization.
The culture formed at the enterprise should welcome a regime of trust and openness. Employees and colleagues should know where (to whom) they can (should) turn if a conflict situation arises.

Today, earnings from affiliate programs are our main source of income. You can make money on affiliate programs even without your own website, you just need to know how to do it correctly

Greetings, dear friends! In touch Alexander Berezhnov - one of the founders of the business magazine HiterBober.ru

Now many people are looking for ways and tools to make money online without investment or special knowledge.

In the article, I told you how we make money on affiliate programs and how you can do it with and without your website.

You will also learn what affiliate programs are, how much you can earn from them, and what is the best place for a beginner to start.

1. What are affiliate programs and how do they make money?

affiliate program- this is a type of commercial interaction between the manufacturer (owner) of a product or service and its partner (seller).

The essence of making money on affiliate programs comes down to the fact that you receive a percentage of sales of goods and services if buyers came to them through your recommendation (affiliate link).

How is the earning process carried out?

You find a contractor (online store, author of a training course, service or person) who sells goods or services and help him sell his product for a percentage.

Let's look at this circuit using a real-life example.

You have a friend Vasya who makes websites, you need a website and you turned to him.

Vasya did his job perfectly and you were pleased with the result.

Now, if your friends need a website, then you will naturally recommend Vasya to them.

There are a lot of such examples.

I'm sure that last month you somehow recommended something to your friends just like that (as they say, out of the kindness of your heart).

Thus, you have become a freelance sales manager in many companies without compromising your personal time.

Now this is interesting, isn’t it?

Let's now just look at the numbers, and you will immediately understand that earning money from affiliate programs is a great opportunity to receive additional income or even make it your main one.

Let's assume that some time ago you or someone you know made a home renovation using the services of a team of finishers.

You liked their quality, timing and price.

Just agree with these craftsmen that you will recommend them to everyone who needs an apartment or house repair, and they will pay you 10% of the amount of work performed as a reward for the recommendation.

Considering that the cost of an average apartment renovation costs people several hundred thousand rubles, and even by “selling” one renovation per month, you can earn from 10,000 to 100,000 rubles from the “repairmen” affiliate program alone.

And if you recently had built-in furniture installed - a wardrobe, a kitchen, and so on...

In general, you understand the principle.

Now let's look at how to make money on affiliate programs on the Internet

Everything here is exactly the same as in real life.

And first, on the network you need to find someone with whom you will “partner”.

The opportunity to make money on your affiliate program is provided by online stores (for example, Ozon.ru), hosting companies, information businessmen (people who sell information on the Internet in the form of training courses), various automated services(for example, service mailing list smartresponder.ru or product affiliate program service apishops.ru)

This is where newbies have a question.

How does your contractor (the one who provides you with the affiliate program) know that the customer who made the purchase came from you (via your link)?

This is not difficult, since when your computer uses the Internet, all the latest data is recorded in special files"cookie"

This is how the computer remembers the entire route of the buyer of a product or service who came on your recommendation.

If a person who came through your affiliate link buys something from your contractor, then you receive the percentage specified in the affiliate program in the form commission for such a recommendation.

It’s interesting that the commission amount for an affiliate program can reach up to 100% ! That is, the contractor gives you all the money received, for example, in exchange for contacting a potential client.

This is especially common in the information business, where information product has no cost. That is why affiliate commissions here often reach 70% , 80% , 90% and more.

Typically, partners' remuneration ranges from 10% before 70% depending on the type of product or service, as well as its price.

Unlike information goods where your commission is often higher 50% , in product affiliate programs this value usually does not exceed 30-40% .

One of the powerful services that provides you with the opportunity to earn money from product affiliate programs is apishops (apishops.ru).

Here you will find a bunch of different products (mostly exclusive) that you can sell by simply creating advertising campaign, and all other actions - purchasing goods and promotional materials for them, communicating with customers and delivery will be taken over by the service.

For the sake of experiment I sold it here chinese watch, in principle, I managed to make good money. Try it if you're interested.

There are also so-called CPA affiliate programs.

In them, you are charged for actions, for example, for a confirmed user application for a loan or registration in an online game.

CPA affiliate programs are now gaining popularity. This is especially true for banking products, such as loans.

Surely you have heard about such a famous bank as Tinkov.

He also has his own CPA affiliate program « Tinokoff».

Here are its conditions for rewarding partners:

Application fee for credit card– 155 rubles
Payment for an activated credit card - 160 rubles
Payment for application for deposit - 952.52 rubles

2. How much can you earn from affiliate programs?

This question worries many people, especially those who are just starting to look for ways to make money online.

Let me answer it right away. Personally, our result with Vitaly: more than 50,000 rubles per month.

Here is a screenshot of earnings for April 2015:

As seen, current month May is not over yet (it’s currently the 27th) and even more income is expected.

In a word, everyone earns differently.

For some, the earnings from affiliate programs are barely enough to buy ice cream, while others are scraping by, raising hundreds of thousands of rubles a month.

So our result is quite average.

By the way, if you want to know more about that, read our article.

Let me now tell you what income depends on or what you need to do to earn money in this way not only for bread, but also for butter and caviar.

So, the factors influencing the amount of income from affiliate programs:

Factor 1. Quality (interest) of the offer

The product or service of which you have become a partner must be in demand and of interest to consumers. They must have adequate price, quality and characteristics that can withstand competition in the market in comparison with similar products.

For example, if you sell an IPhone through the affiliate program of the online store “N”, and its price is higher compared to other online stores, then the chance of purchasing it will be less, and accordingly, your potential earnings will be small.

Factor 2. Number of offers

Factor 3. Quantity and quality of traffic coming to the offer

Let's assume that every hundredth visitor who follows your link will order a product or service.

Then it turns out that you need to attract at least 100 people for one click on the link.

Read more about where to get potential buyers from and how to advertise your affiliate link in the next section of the article.

Factor 4. Relevance (compliance) of the proposal to its location

These could be specialized forums, articles on your blog on the topic, groups on social networks with target audience.

Factor 5. Commission amount

Pay attention to the commission amount for your affiliate program. The higher they are in percentage terms and in pure monetary terms, the better.

In trade this is called average bill, that is, this is the average income per customer.

At the same time, do not forget about all the other factors, because if they are not met, then you will not receive a commission at all.

3. Earning money from affiliate programs - step-by-step instructions for beginners using the example of the Glopart.ru service

Attention, all the technology described below is not something I just pulled out of thin air! It really works and then I will tell you why.

You will learn what steps you need to take and what steps I took in order to earn good money from affiliate programs (more than 50,000 rubles per month).

using contextual and abstract advertising set up through your affiliate link to the course author’s website;
creating a separate website (landing page) and advertising this course there, driving traffic to it with the help of advertising.

Eyeliner- this is a piece of text preceding an affiliate link and motivating a person to follow it. The eyeliner should be brief, contain intrigue and benefit for the user.

This will increase the number of clicks on your affiliate link.

4. Pros and cons of making money on affiliate programs

Dear reader, so that you have a complete picture of how to make money from affiliate programs, I decided to highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of this method of making money on the Internet.

pros “+” earnings from affiliate programs

Availability. Almost any person with average computer skills can earn money this way and get their first money in the very near future (sometimes within a few minutes of starting advertising affiliate links);
High incomes. Compared to other ways to earn money, affiliate programs provide the opportunity to make really good profits in the first month (from $100 to $1000 or more);
Possibility to start without investment (from scratch). Since you can advertise your affiliate link on forums, Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki and other social networks, it will not cost you anything except your personal time. It's your personal business, which you can really open without any investment and start earning decent amounts from scratch.

In general, I wrote about how to open a business from scratch in.

Minuses “-” earnings from affiliate programs

Income instability. In some months, with the same efforts, you can earn $500, but in some months, affiliate programs will not bring you even $100. It depends on the seasonality of the topic of the product offered and its relevance in this moment time.
Risk of losing time and money (in case of paid advertising of the link). You perform some actions in order to earn money. But the truth is that they may not bring the desired results.

If you lose time and gain experience, it's not a big deal. Although, it will be frustrating if you invest a significant budget in advertising your affiliate links and they don’t work.

To minimize financial risks, I once again advise you to familiarize yourself with the rules for choosing an affiliate program (the first paragraph of the article), which I called factors influencing the amount of income from affiliate programs.

5. Answers to questions about making money on affiliate programs

1. How much can you earn from affiliate programs?

You can make money on this from 1 dollar (no problem) to 5000$(when building a earning system, for example, by having your own highly visited website).

2. How does the computer know that a sale was made through my affiliate link?

The browser (the program through which you access the Internet) stores history in special files recent actions user on the Internet.

Therefore, the system will always accurately determine where the user came from and if he came through your link and made a purchase, then you will receive your money.

3. Can I not be paid a commission if the sale actually went through me?

Yes, this is possible if the sale was made directly through your link (not through a payment acceptance service). Then, theoretically, you can be “thrown” into commissions, taking 100% of the money received for yourself.

4. Who is a referral?

Referral- this is a user who registered using your affiliate link. In other words, in your case, this is a second-level partner.
Attracting referrals is profitable, because if you sell through his link, you also receive affiliate commissions, but they are much lower than yours (first-level commissions).

5. How to make money on affiliate programs with your website?

If you have a well-promoted website with high traffic (several thousand people per day), then you can safely make money on it by monetizing your articles with affiliate programs.

For example, on the website HeatherBober.ru the income from affiliate programs is from 500 rubles per day and higher.

Another good way receiving passive income on your website with good traffic - this is an affiliate program from Yandex.

You can submit your site to this network, and if it is accepted there, then your site will begin to display advertisements, and you will receive money for each user click on such advertising.

6. Is it possible to make money on affiliate programs without a website?

Can. To do this, you can use forums that are thematic to your affiliate, groups and public pages on VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, and third-party sites that are similar in topic to your affiliate.

The only point is that all these methods will be paid for you if you want to make money without a website.

After all, the site is the source free traffic(if it has been operating for a long time and has already been promoted using SEO articles), and if it is absent, you will not have visitors whom you can direct to your link.

But there is one trick that I personally tried and earned 10,000 rubles.

I earned this money by posting a free information product of one famous Internet entrepreneur on a torrent.

You could say that in a sense I built on affiliate programs with torrenting. This is how you can still earn money without investing in affiliate programs.

7. What is an affiliate program aggregator?

Affiliate program aggregator- this is a site where many affiliate programs are collected different topics. We can say that this is a directory of affiliate programs on the Internet.

This is where it is most convenient to find them.

For example, the service for accepting instant payments Glopart.ru, which was discussed in the article, is an aggregate of affiliate programs, as it has a corresponding catalog of products.

Here are the most popular aggregators:

admitad.com
apishops.ru
gdeslon.ru
afrek.ru

I have long been planning to write an article on the topic of making money on affiliate programs. And now, after several months of experiments and several thousand rubles spent, the article is ready.

What you will learn from this article:

Business model and a little theory
Working (currently) case for making money on affiliate programs
The whole truth about this type of earnings or what bloggers are silent about
My useful tips

Business model

A few words about how it all works.

You buy at advertising network traffic and redirect it through your affiliate link to the affiliate site. If one of your visitors makes a purchase on the site or required action(leave your email, register on the site, download the game), then you will receive a reward. This business model is also called CPA (cost per action).

People who earn money in this way are called arbitrageurs. Essentially, they buy traffic cheaply in one place and sell it expensively in another.

What is traffic?

Traffic is the flow of visitors going to the affiliate site from different sources. For example, from advertising banners or teasers.

Where can you buy traffic?

What is an affiliate program?

Where to find affiliate programs?

Partnership programs accordingly, they are collected from affiliate aggregators or affiliate networks. Affiliate networks bring together advertisers (business owners who offer CPA offers) and people who want to make money from it (website owners or you as traffic arbitrageurs)

Now that we have understood the theory, we can begin to practice. I have prepared for you a completely working guide that will help you start making money on traffic arbitrage and understand how it all works. Just follow everything as written in the instructions.

Working case on working with an affiliate program

To work, we will need the Admitad affiliate network and the Popunder advertising network.

1 On home page Click on the cross at the top right and add a platform. The platform is your advertising network where you will buy traffic.

2 Fill in the fields as in the picture (you can change the lower text):

Go to the Programs menu > Program catalog.
Filter by category Browser games
Find the Battlestar Galactica RU affiliate program and click the More details button.

As you can see, the affiliate is ready to pay us 0.65 euros for registering a new player in their game.

4 On next page Click the submit application button.

At the top, select our Pop-under advertising platform.
We agree with the rules.
Write what kind of experienced affiliate marketer you are and what quality traffic you have.
And click the connect button.
We repeat the same thing, only for the VKontakte site.

Why connect two sites to one affiliate program?

Most affiliate programs treat traffic from social networks well (unless of course this type traffic is not prohibited) and they immediately allow you to work. And unpromoted advertising networks are treated with suspicion and may not connect you.

Therefore, in case of failure to connect Pop-under, we will have VKontakte, through which we will send traffic from Pop-under. I checked, no one checks where the traffic to the affiliate comes from (at least this affiliate definitely doesn’t check).

We have submitted applications for connection, now you can relax and wait a few days for the affiliate to connect you.

So, we were connected to the offer and now we have access to advertising materials and affiliate links.

5 I have already selected the most suitable banners, all you have to do is follow the instructions:

Filter them by size and type
Click on the banner and click the download button

As I said, we will use the PopUnder advertising network for this.

Adding the company name
Advertising link from Admitad
Select advertising type Slider
Payment will be for transitions
And add our affiliate program advertising banners

In the Geography section, select all countries that are allowed by the affiliate program. They can be viewed in Admitad under the terms of the affiliate program.

In the Browsers section, select Basic Browsers. Game for computers and mobile browsers we don't need it.

In the Schedule item, set from 0 o'clock to 12-00. I’ll tell you why up to 12 below.

Set the minimum price - 1000 rubles. for 1000 transitions. That is, 1 rub. for the transition.

Once everything is filled out, click the button – Add and run.

The company will go for moderation. It usually takes a few minutes.

As soon as the company passes moderation, you can top up your balance. It is best to top up your balance through WebMoney; they have the lowest commission of 0.8%.

I usually top up with 300 rubles. This is enough to check the offer for conversion.

As soon as the account is replenished, impressions of your ads and clicks on advertisements will immediately begin. You can sit back and watch your money melt away before your eyes (just kidding). I have tested this scheme and you will not go into a minus.

Now I'll show you financial results for this offer.

As you can see, eCPC (earnings from one click) is 1.61 rubles. - this means that I earn 61 kopecks from each click on my advertising. And according to the idea, with 1000 rubles invested in advertising, I should earn 610 rubles (but not everything is so simple :))

Confirmed 433.13 rubles are registrations verified by the offer and I can already withdraw this money. By the way, the PopUnder platform has not yet been connected to me and I earned this money through the VKontakte platform (although I received traffic from PopUnder). As you can see, everything was successfully confirmed and was transferred to PayPal by me. I had about 7 euros left from other experiments, and in the end I withdrew 11.94 to myself on PayPal.

Open 1461.83 - this will still be checked, but I think there will be no problems.

Total earned: 1895 rub.

Now let's see how much was spent on advertising in PopUnder:

Total: Earned 1895 – Spent 1569 = Net profit 326 rubles.

You should have more to say! And you are absolutely right.

But there is one thing. Let's see how many transitions I paid for in the advertising network - 1676, and how many transitions Admitad counted - 1183. In total, 493 transitions were simply not counted.

What caused this to happen?

First. Advertising networks aim to count as many conversions as possible and earn as much as possible from you, while affiliate networks aim to count as few visitors as possible and pay you less compensation.

Let's imagine that someone clicked on your advertising banner, the advertising network deducted 1 ruble from you, but the user’s Internet was disconnected or the site took a long time to load and he did not reach the game site, that’s it, you lost 1 ruble.

Another variant. The user’s IP in the advertising network was determined to be from the Russian Federation and he was shown your ad and he clicked on it, but in the affiliate network the user’s IP was determined to be from another country (prohibited by this offer) and you again lost money.

In general, you will lose 10-15 percent of traffic in any case.

The second reason.

You must always be very careful. Always check advertising links to ensure they are working and carefully read the terms and conditions of the offer.

The rules of this affiliate program stated “The affiliate program has a limited daily budget!” This means that if an offer has exhausted its budget (for example, 100 registrations per day), then affiliate links no longer work and all your traffic goes into emptiness.

As you can see, everything is simple, I bought it there, sold it here and made money. But don’t rush to rejoice, below I will talk about what sellers of various information courses and bloggers who make money from referrals are silent about.

The whole truth about making money on affiliate programs

I'll start with this picture:

This is my referral statistics on Admitad. I have 411 referrals, of which only 2 are active, but they don’t earn anything.

Making money on arbitrage is very difficult. Almost everyone wastes their advertising budgets and abandons this business.

Have you ever wondered why affiliate programs don’t directly advertise themselves? Why were these CPAs and affiliate networks invented?

It’s simple, in order to make traffic a plus you need to have a good understanding of various types advertising traffic and have extensive experience working with advertising networks. The online store or the game creators don’t understand this, so they are ready to pay professionals using the CPA scheme.

Arbitration is always testing, optimization and searching for cheap and high-quality traffic.

Look how much money I lost to find at least one offer with income.

I bought traffic on Teasermedia and transferred it to Elonleads.

Cream for beard growth. 300 rubles lost. earned 0 rub.

Browser game "Path of Lords". 500 rubles lost. – 1 registration, earned $0.45

It turns out that I sent them 381 people, and they counted me 205 of which 5 times, I probably went in myself to check the functionality of the link. Spent 396 rubles, earned 48 rubles.

These are the examples that I remembered. There were also experiments with mobile affiliate programs and so on.

Without spending a few thousand, you won't start making money. How do you know, if you are a beginner, where what kind of traffic is, what is the best place to send it, where are the most expensive offers and where are the honest affiliate networks?

This all comes with experience, and for this experience you will have to pay.

There is no point in buying information courses. Not a single arbitrator will burn working topic, he will use it to the last and will make money from it.

I talked about a working scheme only because it has a limited budget.

But if you are a beginner, this great way understand how everything works and not blow your budget to zero.

In affiliate networks there is such a thing as a hold. A hold is freezing your earned money from several days to a month. It is needed to check the quality of your traffic, in case you brought a bunch of schoolchildren from the axle boxes and they made a bunch of fake registrations. If this is the case, then you will not see your money, and your account may be blocked.

One more thing. Usually in affiliate networks there are levels of access to offers. The more an offer pays for a lead or sale, the more difficult for a beginner will connect to it. When connecting, you will be asked to talk about your experience and show screenshots of where you are getting traffic from. As you understand, all the best offers will not be available to beginners.

Even if you have found an excellent offer and are sending traffic to it with a good conversion rate, this does not mean that you can relax and do nothing. Very often, affiliate programs change their working conditions, stop their offers, change geotargeting, etc. All this needs to be constantly monitored.

As you can see, everything no longer looks as simple as at the beginning. If you still have a desire to work in this direction, I want to give you some advice based on my little experience.

Allocate some money for experiments. I recommend starting with 3,000 rubles.
Don’t take expensive offers where you need to sell something or fill out a form for the bank. Only professionals work in this area; for now it will be difficult for you to fight them.
I recommend that you first choose offers with simple actions. Leave an email, register in a browser game, etc.
Teasers are the cheapest, but also the lowest quality traffic; it is difficult to convert.
Don’t invest money in an advertising network until you fully understand its functionality. There may be problems with affiliate links, ad formats, etc. When everything has been checked, top up your balance with a small amount.
Your money will always be either in the advertising network or on hold in the affiliate network. Choose reliable sites.
Is not passive income, you will have to work and monitor the situation all the time

I have compiled a list of proven affiliate and advertising networks for you:

Teaser networks. The cheapest traffic.

Banners, pop-ups and other formats. Traffic is better and more expensive.

Affiliate business on the Internet is the easiest and easy way earnings for everyone.

Create your own product, which is a very profitable form of income. It is advisable to hold meetings and webinars, increase your efficiency, create your brand, etc... And that's not all.

Which, in fact, is not at all difficult, and all this is quite possible, and should be mastered.

But, in fact, not everyone has this kind of information in order to create a useful product on this topic and sell it for money.

In addition, without experience, a person may simply experience fear of speaking in front of an audience (at webinars, for example)

And while a person has these problems, it is better to hold off on creating your own product. But at the same time, it is quite possible, and even necessary, to use well-known authors of courses and trainings.

That is, build an affiliate business via the Internet, which is undoubtedly the most simple view making money online.

A partnership type of business can easily be combined with any other type of activity or work; it does not require investing money, learning the intricacies of building a business, no website, no mailing list, no constant contact with people, or much else.

Advantages of affiliate business.

This type of income is great for beginners.
Easy start.
Real earnings without investments.
Website presence is optional. Because the author of the product you will promote has it, and there are already a lot of forums and social networks at your service on the Internet. networks, etc.
It is not necessary to create useful content. Because the author does this to increase sales.
The author himself conducts vibinars in order to sell his product better.
The author himself is involved in setting up the withdrawal of money.
You do not need to organize sales, support, and shipment of the product, because the author does this.

Your task is only to convey as much as possible more people information about this product through their affiliate link and nothing else.

Of course, initially it is very important to choose a good affiliate program from which you can actually earn money.

In addition, the affiliate program must be stable, that is, one that pays money, it must be in demand, and has good conversion marketing mechanism.

For example, on the subject of my website, I have several affiliate programs that consistently bring me a monthly income of passive mode. I did some work once and now I make a profit from it.

This can only be done if you have your own website. Or with, to attract customers and partners.

How to promote your link?

partnership business model

Promotion methods, as usual, can be divided into two types:

Free (where you need to invest your time and effort). Constantly announce the topic on various Internet resources.
Paid (where you spend practically no time and effort, but invest money at the same time). These are various advertising platforms.

Using free methods to increase the efficiency of your work, you need:

Determine the target audience, of this product. That is, if you are promoting a product about losing weight, then you should not post your information in topics on making money on the Internet;
Depending on the product, we determine on which sites to place our referral link;
Disseminate information about this product daily in several sources on thematic platforms with the target audience.

Moreover, if you really want to have results and steadily growing profits, you need to systematically, that is, post and update all advertising materials every day, with your referral link.

Paid methods work much more efficiently and give more quick results. Personally, I use 5% for the Forex affiliate program demon paid methods, and 95% paid promotion methods from Yandex Direct, and a very affordable but effective advertising platform tak.ru, with extremely low initial rates per click, here for $1. About 600 people will see your offer.

And now I will briefly show you the simplest, not expensive but effective paid scheme for promoting your affiliate link. This scheme helps me personally not to spend a lot of money and receive stable commission payments.

Promotion through Yandex Direct.

You, as a user, have probably seen that when you type a request in Yandex, there are various short advertisements on the right. That's what it is paid advertisements from Yandex Direct.

The principle of submitting your ad here is very simple. You will need to choose which word you want to display your ad for. That is, ask. When you type, your advertisement will appear.

If a person is interested in it, then he follows it and ends up on the website of the author of the product you are promoting. And if a person makes an order, you receive a commission.

The best thing is that here you don’t pay anything for impressions, but only for transitions. And with the right and competent approach, this is absolutely small money.

Start an Affiliate Business

Now let's make some rough calculations:

Let's say you choose a product worth 3,000 rubles, where your commission will be 40%. That is, you receive 1,200 rubles in commission from one sale.

The average conversion in a good affiliate program (the ratio of those who came to those who bought) ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 percent.

That is, out of 200 visitors, from 1 to 2 people buy - this is in the worst case.

Let's look at the lowest conversion of 0.5 percent, at which your earnings will be 1200 rubles from 200 transitions. How much in this case can you earn net, taking into account the payment for clicks.

The cost per click directly depends on the competition of the selected topic, and it fluctuates greatly. Therefore, we will make the most optimistic and the most pessimistic calculation. That is, we will take the most low price per click and the highest. And let's see what comes of it.

Let's first make the most pessimistic forecast. Let the cost of a click be 15 cents or 4.5 rubles. Then our expenses will be 900 rubles. And the net profit is 1200 – 900 = 300 rubles.

But the truth is that it will be somewhere in the middle. So let's figure out what you can actually earn.

We charge a cost per click of 9.5 cents or 2.85 rubles. We get expenses of 570 rubles, where net profit is 1200 – 570 = 630 rubles.

Please note the fact that we took into account the minimum conversion of the selling text.

With a sales text conversion of 1%, your net profit is 2 times higher!

Now let's make an optimistic calculation.

Let the cost per click be 4 cents or 1.2 rubles.

In this case, our expenses will be only 240 rubles (1.2 x 200). And clean

The profit will be 1200–240 = 960 rubles.

As a result, it turns out that you set up an advertising campaign once.

Deposit some money into it (from 1000 -3000 rubles), and you will receive your commissions consistently.

I recommend spending part of the net profit back to pay for the advertising campaign, gradually increasing advertising budget, and therefore your profit. This will allow you to receive your commissions on an ongoing basis.

Well, now let's take a look

Possible mistakes.

First of all, forget the concept of spam on all social networks.
When starting to build an affiliate business, you must understand that you can make good money only by professionally offering some product.
You need to work the same here as anywhere else. Without a quality proposal, you will not have the desired result.

Remember the saying: “Water does not flow under a lying stone.”

4. Don't go after those affiliate programs that pay the highest commissions. As a rule, this indicates that the author is not a good partner for partners and this is how he attracts them.

Working on the Internet

6. If you have just started developing this business, first focus on one affiliate program and set it up for stable profit making.

In short, don’t jump from product to product. While you are a beginner, your task should be to obtain results, and not to increase the number of promoted products.

7. Connect a new affiliate program, that is, expand your range, only after the first affiliate program gives you the desired result.

8. Invest in this business money that you don’t mind losing. Even if you waste your first investment in advertising, accept it as your tuition fee.

9. Learn to write shots on target.

10. Collect, because it is your personal subscription base that can provide you with a constant income.

Inspired by the idea of light and simple income With affiliate programs, if you approach it incorrectly, you can end up breaking a lot of stuff, spending money and earning nothing.

This happened to me, and this is what I advise you to prevent this from happening to you.

Using these simple tips You can quite realistically start earning pretty decent money on the Internet without any required investments.

Your chances of success will increase dramatically, and you will learn to approach the process completely differently.

At the end of the post, I want to say that I use this tactic not only in relation to the affiliate business, but to building a business in the companies that I am mainly involved in, and which, by the way, also have affiliate remuneration.

And although the affiliate business is quite simple and easy money, which suits everyone, but still, like everywhere else, not everyone who starts this business achieves success in it.

Many people tend to give up due to inaction, lack of patience, or high expectations.

Wish you stable income V affiliate business through the Internet.

Every business needs growth and expansion. For example, if you own a factory, you modernize production and install more machines. What if you own an online store? Then the main task will be to increase the number of sales and find regular customers. To accomplish this, a system of affiliate programs was invented.

What is an affiliate program and what is its business model?

The main objective of the affiliate program is to bring a new client into the business. In return, the affiliate network member receives a reward, which can be fixed or depend on the amount of the invited client’s transaction.

A partnership offer in this context is called an offer. The one who wants to find clients is an advertiser, and the one who attracts clients is a webmaster. Affiliate programs exist because they adhere to the “win-win” principle, in which each party to the transaction wins - the advertiser receives sales, the webmaster receives a reward, and the affiliate network takes its commission on the transaction. Now you know what an affiliate program is. “And how to make money from it?” - a logical question will sound. We will give an answer to this regarding the role of the webmaster in this process.

Types of affiliate programs for earning money

The main task of a webmaster in any affiliate network is to attract traffic, that is, visitors. But with the same traffic, a webmaster can receive radically different income, depending on how he monetizes it (sells it for money). This happens due to the difference in types of payment for traffic. Here are the main ones:

payment for targeted transition (click on advertising);
payment for displaying an ad (often a promotional video);
payment for a purchase on the target site;
registration in the system;
installing an application, etc.

Find out what type partnership cooperation suitable for your traffic channel can only be done experimentally by testing various options promotional materials, marketing strategies and advertising links (type of advertising - affiliate offer). The best affiliate programs always reward their webmasters with bonuses and try to provide maximum tools for their work. But don't think that personal manager in an affiliate program will do the work for you. After all, even the best affiliate programs can only direct the webmaster’s diligence in the right direction, but money will only be brought by one’s own efforts and constant work on mistakes.

Where to begin?

Webmasters who have just entered this business are looking for an affiliate program for beginners that would require them to have a minimum of knowledge and investment to start. One of these affiliate programs is Google AdSense. You can understand instantly what an AdSense affiliate program is - it is on almost any information website and is a network of contextual targeted advertising. In fairness, it must be said that the Yandex.Direct affiliate network is also a system contextual advertising, but it is more difficult to join due to strict moderation of sites. But let’s return to the topic of AdSense, because we are still interested in the affiliate program for beginners.

First of all, you need to register and add your site to moderation, which will check it for compliance with basic requirements, which are very easy to comply with. The site must not violate the laws of your state, must not be spammy, contain viruses, etc. If you do not have a website, you can create a blog in a few clicks using WordPress Blog, Blogger, Wix or any in a convenient way, write several articles for the site and install AdSense advertising. Depending on the interests of the audience of your website (blog) and the topic of the resource, you can receive from 1 cent to several dollars (!) per click. It will be possible to withdraw funds Bank transaction, by check or by other means, but only after reaching the amount of $100 on the balance.

How to get more traffic?

When you have already gotten used to it and studied what an affiliate program is, you will definitely be interested in a logical question - where to get traffic? After all, the more traffic, the more Money you will be able to get. The Internet is built on the exchange of information, therefore, if you own required by the user information, he will get to your resource and bring money by clicking on advertising. But it's not that simple. Let's look at the main ways to get your content to your audience or, on the other hand, get your audience's money to you.

Today the main sources of traffic are:

search engines - Yandex, Google, Mail.ru and so on;
social networks (VKontakte and Facebook) are known to everyone, but social network also “YouTube”, “Instagram”, “Twitter”, “Periscope”, “Twitch”, “Google+” and others);
mobile messengers (Telegram, Viber, Snapchat);
Browser bookmarks - oddly enough, if your site is good enough to use regularly, you will get your core of regular visitors;
email newsletters;
other ways.

The more masterfully you approach the construction of your traffic channels, the naturally larger the audience you will be able to reach.

We monetize traffic profitably

It was said earlier that with the same number of visitors on your resource, profit per visitor can vary by several orders of magnitude. This means that the profit you lost could be made by someone else. How it works:

Let’s say person X has installed an AdSense pay-per-click advertising block on his website.
Another person Y registered on the website of an online store’s affiliate program, where they pay $20 per completed order.
Y orders advertising for his affiliate link in AdSense, which will be shown on your site.
Y gets a customer for the store for $15.

It turns out that site owner X could earn $5 more than from contextual advertising, but this money was earned by Y. It seems obvious that if X used the store’s affiliate program, he would increase his profit, but this is not the case. After all, in order to earn this extra $5, Y set up an advertising campaign in detail, segmented the audience, tracked statistics and created promotional materials. In other words, this is complex and painstaking work. This activity is called traffic arbitrage, when you buy advertising traffic in one place and drive it to another, generating sales or requests, which arbitrators call a lead.
