Affiliate Marketing - Best Performing Different Types
Affiliate marketing programs has never been as popular before as it is today. Why? There can be a number of reasons. The most probable reason, however, could be the fact that the benefits of online affiliate marketing have become clearer to a lot of people now than they were before.
Today, both the merchants and the affiliates can see clearly that affiliate online marketing can work for both of them. The merchant sees affiliate marketing today as the chance to advertise their products at a lower cost.
The affiliates, on the other hand, sees affiliate online marketing as an easy way of earning profits online by doing what they like most, and that is by creating websites.
Just as the popularity of affiliate online marketing has shifted into greater heights, so has the people’s outlook about it changed. No longer is affiliate marketing considered today as an alternative method for the merchant to advertise his products, or as a source of additional income for the affiliates. For merchants and affiliates alike, affiliate marketing is now considered as a main source of profits and revenues.
So the question now is what type of affiliate online marketing will work best for you? Are all affiliate marketing programs the same? Are the benefits the same? Or are there affiliate marketing programs that work better than the others?
There are actually different types or classes of affiliate marketing, and the number of types will depend on how one will classify them. The most basic affiliate marketing programs, however, falls under two categories: pay-per-click known as PPC, and pay-per-performance known as PPP.
- Pay Per Click - PPC
PPC is the most popular type of affiliate online marketing for affiliates with small websites, and probably the easiest way for them to earn money. In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant’s banner or text ads.
The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant’s site. However, typical fees for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually not exceeding a dollar for every click.
- Pay Per Performance - PPP
PPP affiliate online marketing is the most popular among merchant and is also the most lucrative type for the affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an action that is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something from the merchant’s site or when the visitor becomes a lead.
This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, for commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually comes in the range of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.
Pay-per-performance affiliate online marketing can be further classified into two popular types: pay-per-sales known as PPS and pay-per-lead known as PPL.
- Pay Per Sale - PPS
In a pay-per-sale type of affiliate marketing, the merchants pay the affiliate a certain fee whenever the visitor he has referred to the merchant’s site actually buys something from the merchant’s site.
Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But no matter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher than the fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click affiliate program.
- Pay Per Lead - PPL
The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a slight variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their company to grow.
In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant’s site fills up an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.
Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant’s site.
- Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing.
These types of affiliate online marketing are based on the different levels or tiers in the affiliate network by which payments are made. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic he has referred to the merchant. All the previously mentioned affiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS, PPL, and PPC) fall under the single-tier classification.
- In two-tier affiliate internet marketing programs, the affiliate is not only paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant’s site, but also on every traffic or sales referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his recommendation.
Multi-tier affiliate internet marketing works the same way, although the affiliate gets additional commission for a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in the affiliate network.
- Residual Income Affiliate Internet Marketing
In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid not only once for every customer he has referred to the merchant’s site. Rather, the affiliate is also paid whenever the customer he has referred returns to the site and purchase another product. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is based on either sales percentage commission or fixed fee basis.
The different affiliate internet marketing types would virtually work differently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each would generally have their own list of benefits.
Which type of affiliate internet marketing will work best for you? It is not really for me to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type of affiliate marketing program will suit your needs and characteristics best.
Affiliate Marketing Mentor Program
I never thought my affiliate marketing mentor program was going to see the results that it has. The results are just amazing and I am super excited to see what the new year brings my mentor program and everyone that is in it, including me.
First, I want to touch on Bryan for a second. Bryan, has been noticed because of one of his sites by the famous Gary V. from Wine Library TV and his brother. What’s even cooler is they are all following each other on Twitter. When Bryan told me about this when it all went down I was super excited for him.
Networking with other people in the same field as you are in can show you some of the best results for your business. With Bryan now being followed by Gary V and his brother I feel that Bryan is on his way to having some great success in this new year, success he never thought he could get.
The next thing that I am super excited about is working with Greg, who is my latest student. (so to speak) To me, it almost seems that I have learned more from Greg that he has from me so far. Greg’s background in Internet Marketing was mostly in the buying and selling of Domains. That is something I never thought of before.
Greg is one hell of a nice guy and with talking to him through my mentor program I have been able to change the way I buy my domains for my sites I am building. So now I am not only buying names that are keyword rich, but are also worth something when I go to sell them, if I go to sell them.
So by being able to get domains that are going to be worth more down the road, my net worth is going to also increase. Well, maybe not my net worth but my online portfolio will that’s for sure . I am not saying the other domains I have are all junk, there not. I always bought domain names for SEO value before. Now I am buying domains for SEO and Resale Value. Two birds with one stone type of thing.
Mentoring someone in affiliate marketing to me is a lot more then just helping someone make money online. Its about networking as well. The one thing I need to work on for 2009 is finding away to bring everyone who is in my mentor program together, so we can all benefit from the program.

All About Affiliate Marketing Program
Affiliate marketing programs allows advertisers to reimburse webmasters for the space of putting up advertisements on their webpage or even within the e-mails they send. These advertisers pay for space on the internet, much as they would on a billboard or in a magazine or newspaper.
The ease with which a webmaster can participate in affiliate marketing programs has made it one of the most well known ways to earn income without leaving the comforts of home. Many people have their own websites and this allows almost anyone (housewives, homebound, etc.) to have their own ‘home business’ and realize monetary freedom.
From the above lines a simple question arises. How and why do advertisers pay to webmasters for just putting up their advertisements? Well the answer is more than simple. Webmasters who receive several thousands hits a day on their webpage are among the top that are posted on various search engines.
The more traffic a website receives, the more likely someone browsing it is to click through an ad link placed on the website. Paying for ad space on more popular sites can result in hundreds of new customers each day. Advertising space is therefore priced based on the hits that the website receives.
There are different versions of affiliate marketing program. Some of them include cost per click, cost per thousand, cost per action, cost per lead and so on. Cost per click as the name says is getting paid for every click on the advertisement of the advertiser.
In a pay per click the advertiser pays the webmaster each time a web site user clicks on the hosted ad. Likewise, in the per thousand click scale the webmaster is paid for every thousand times a web user clicks on the ad’s link. A per action scenario requires that the web user must not only click through the ad link, but also complete a particular action, such as filling out customer information, signing up for a contest, or perhaps completing a purchase before payment is generated to the webmaster. Another payment scale type is cost per lead which is similar to cost per action, but the webmaster sends potential customer information to the advertiser much like one company you purchase airline tickets for might sell your information to their credit card company.
How do you as a webmaster choose the right affiliate marketing program for your websites? Many webmasters simply search the internet! The best way to determine which program best suits your site is to search for affiliate programs, evaluate the payments schedules offered, and determine if ad placement is suitable for your site based on size and location requirements.
The income earned from such programs can vary depending on the number of hits your webpage receives. But is the income taxable or not? It depends on the region you are staying in and the type of government. The opportunities in this field are enormous and are worth exploiting!

Creating wealth with Automated Income Streams.
Developing automated income streams is a key to creating an abundant lifestyle, and it’s easier than you think too!
Trading your time for money is not the best way to create wealth. Anyone who is truly wealth can tell you that your much better off creating multiple income streams vs. having one or two jobs in which your earn a hourly or yearly wage.
There is little or no leverage at all when when it comes to trading time for money. The amount of money your earn is controlled by 2 things: 1) the hourly wage or salary you earn 2) the amount of time you spend on the job.
Here what creating automated income streams can provide for you. Say you have created just two automated income streams. Each month each income streams earns $2,000-$3,000 in profits. That’s an average of $5,000/month. Now lets say you invest about 10 hrs of your time total each week, that only 40 hrs a month. Remember, automated income streams are set up to run on their own, for the most part. If you are spending more than 5 hours on an income stream is it really “automated”?
Couch potato lazy is not what we are aiming for here. We (I hope you too) are creating leverage in our lives by installing automated income streams. With this leverage comes the ability to do thing that give our lives meaning and purpose.
It’s not likely that your Automated Income Streams are going to create world peace. The goal of an AIS is not to change the wold, but to change your life style. Although with the extra time and energy you now have you just might start a business that will change the world.
With the power of the internet creating automated income streams is now easier than ever before. With millions of affiliate marketing opportunities out there you only you set your limits.
So many people remain satisfied (mainly because they simply have not searched out the options they have) working 40 plus hours each week. Trading their time for money. Little do they know they have so many options that would provide them a much happier and fulfilling life. Lucky we are not in that group.

Mistakes New Affiliate Marketers Will Make
You can be a bit confused during this economic downtime. As a matter of fact, you will be less confused if you can earn some extra cash. Yet you may not really know how you can do it. One of the ways to do so is the work as an affiliate marketer.
In order to start working, you will join some affiliate programs. I will not talk about how you should choose the programs here since they should be well illustrated in a lot of other articles or e-books. Yet, you will need to be careful about the number of programs you join.
There are new affiliate marketers who try to join hundreds of programs at a time. They think that they can make more money in this way. Yet this is totally wrong. You are making money by promoting the affiliate products. You are not making money by joining the programs.
I will suggest that you join two to three programs only. You should not work in more than two niches. You may wonder why I suggest this. This is because you will not have the time and energy to do so much work at a time. It is impossible for you to promote products in 10 different niches at a time.
Some newbies tend to start promoting the products right away. However, it will be difficult for you to promote them if you know nothing about the products or services. As suggested by a lot of other affiliate coaches, you should buy the products and use them.
You are trying the products yourself because you would like to gain some knowledge about the products you are going to promote. This is a crucial step. Of course there may be some products you cannot try yourself form some reasons. In this case you will need to read a lot of product reviews so that you can gain more knowledge about them.
There are newbies who will not create their own affiliate site. They try to promote the affiliate links only instead. However, you have to understand the your affiliate is your ultimate assets. You will lose everything if you spend all the time to promote the affiliate links and the program close eventually.
You cannot build a website with only one page. You will need to build a website which is very rich in contents. Of course the contents will be related to the products you are promoting. You will need to make your site a useful and informative one.
Patience will be very important when you are working as an affiliate marketer. Some newbies will give up after working for two weeks. However, the truth is that not many people can start making money in such as short period of time! You will need to work for some time and eventually you will make money.
