Something About Affiliate Marketing for Affiliate Merchants

Hi guys

I couldn't update my blog because of my bad health. Because of many sleepless nights and days, constant sitting against PC and working I caught by illness which force me to take rest and sleep. Yeah now I am back. As I stated in my last post that I have been moved in to affiliate marketing and I have researched a lot on that. Unfortunately there is not enough information available online for Affiliate merchants but yeah you will get lots of information and tips and tricks to be affiliate. But don't worry as Ash is here then no fear.. So let's start

What is Affiliate Marketing?


Affiliate Marketing is known as SOPS by experts. It means Sale Other People's Stuff. In Affiliate marketing there are 3 parties involved.

1. Affiliate Merchant who will pay commission for affiliate referral sale or per click(depends on affiliate program and revenue type)
2. Affiliate who will sign up to affiliate programs of an affiliate merchant and will out marketing material on his own site and try to bring business as well as visitors to Affiliate Merchant's business. For each referral lead he will get paid some commission from Affiliate merchant
3. Clients/ Visitor who will get reference of affiliate merchant's services from affiliate site and who will either join affiliate program and be another affiliate or will buy service offered by affiliate merchants. Mere visitor will be counted only if revenue type is pay per click.

I am not going to give any tips to be an affiliate as there is more than enough stuff available online. But yeah for affiliate merchants there is nothing so hereby I am sharing you some useful tips which I learned from my own logic and meta information I collected from my research. And here it is:


Tips for Affiliate Merchants

• First of all make a professional home page for your affiliate site. Don't make it attractive. Keep it simple and sober
• Navigation system must be simpler as a child can also navigate.
• Content must be unique, impressive and should be like visitor get convinced that this is the best affiliate program he was looking for
• You should offer attractive commission
• Never ever put any sign up fees
• Promote your affiliate programs in webmaster and marketing forums
• Use social media sites for promotion of your affiliate programs
• Start email marketing for your affiliate programs. Better is to contact your current satisfied clients (as if they are satisfied with your services they would love to refer you to others by joining your affiliates
• Do some SEO for promotion

I know it may be bit confusing for new comers but I have tried to made it easier and I hope you understand about affiliate marketing. Affiliate Marketing is very good now-a-days and it also have quite good future. You can earn well through it if you become an affiliate. And you can also earn good if you work as an affiliate manager or affiliate merchants. But honestly speaking This is really not made for me. This is not what I like to do or in which I have interest. I was working with my firm because I was enjoying my work and loved to do it and that was the only reason to be sticked with current job evenif I got many good offers and good salary packages from other companies of my territory. But now they have assigned me a job which I hate to. I am giving my 100% to this job also but I am not enjoying myself in it. And this is leading me to change the company as my career ambition is to become an SEO Expert, nothing else. So I have uploaded my CV in good sites. And hopping to get either transfer in my SEO Department in my firm or good job as an SEO.

 Ah as always it's too late... Time is 1:50 AM here and I have to go to office and do that boring job of Affiliate Manager so This is R J Ash signing off for tonight.. See u soon at the same place till then keep resding my blog and keep commenting :)

Finally I am moved to Affiliate Marketing

Hi guys

So how was your day?? Ah mine was quite different today. Yesterday I thought I will write about SEO misconception but today something new happened to me and also feeling bored so will write about my day.. BTW my friends used to ask me why don't u sleep till late night?? May be my eyes don't have space for sleep as they are waiting for someone... Got it?? :) Ah I am blushing.. Mona will surely comment on this tomorrow I am sure.

Ok I used to go off topic and extend the converation. I also do it in my team meeting. I go off topic and start giving them motivational lecture. At that time(in the meeting) Mitesh gives expression like Oh Gosh not again!! Khusbu think like "Oh Ash please make it short as I have to achieve the target". Bhumika might think "Go on.. Who cares". But Siddhi and Krishana both always encourage me to give more inspiration and knowledge. They always gives expression like yeah Ash truly right and we will surely try to implement what she is saying. And they are also reading my blog regularly. But sadly they never left comment. Hey girls leave comment for me..

Again I went to the off topic. Now come to the topic. Since last few days I got a news that I will be moved to affiliate marketing and Siddhi will take my place but it was not happening. I was feeling bad for Siddhi as that people made me announce this without confirmation. I want her to be TL as she was willing to. On the same not honestly I don't like AM at all. And sir if you are reading this then I am telling you I am just doing it to learn it. I will stick to SEO field only. So IF you will not move me back I will move the company..  But yeah If I start getting fun in it then we will think :) Ok sir was suppose to giving me training. And he just called me in the office and told me to watch out all the videos on AM. So during almost all whole day I watched the videos and the effect is now my prounanciation has changed to foriegn people. As right now I am speaking and typing. It's fun. The videos were also off topic. For example there wasa video for uploading pdf tutorial. Just for that they had shown how to create word doc. Then how to download open office and then convert word doc to pdf and then upload it. Petty funny and irritating also. Joy had stolen my headphone in break and put is old broken headphone. Not good!!! I am upset with u. Whatever!!! My collegue who seats beside me called Jay Singh was also watching the video and I keep smiling on that as he doesn't understand anything but then also watching it. LOL

After all I had a meeting with sir but that was about the old task. BTW Anthony took my exam as well like how much I really learn. And I passed it :) But still Sir remained. Sir was tired today so we will have meeting tomorrow on that.

I also got an opportunity to do some research kind of work for  e-commerce. So it will definitely increase my surfing skills :) Apart from that I am also learning more on SEO as I got net at home. Though I have not implemented it for my own site. Thinking to start it from next week.

Tonight had not read anything on SEO except my keyword checking. I was feeling bored so send sms to friends and chat with friends and check msgs. After long time I had also entered in my fropper account. I think the people got worst there. Twitter, Facebook and of course orkut is good. I have account on many SEO sites.. Whatever.

Ok though I didn't wanted to write too much it's again a long post :) I am talkative I can't help it. Though I am not sleepy yet as usual but it's 1:35 AM and tomorrow I have to go office early. So  Good night... This is R J Aashaka signing off and will catch you tomorrow for sure. Till than keep following me.. Love you guys :)
