IS ‘AFFILIATE MARKETING’ COMPLICATED?
Affiliate marketing simply means selling the products/services of some other organizations. It is just another form of advertisement that we see on televisions and in newspaper, an economical means indeed. You act as a middleman between the buyers and sellers, providing the sellers with more customers and making the product/service available to the buyers. Every customer you bring to the supplier, you are remunerated a commission for your work. Companies need people for such works in order to promote their products/services plus earn more clients.
You first need to get yourself registered with a website with an automated marketing program. These programs generate advertiser’s banner ads which may be rotating or static banners; or buttons; or images, text or hyperlinks. As an affiliate marketer, you need to post these ads on your website to earn commissions from the advertisers. While surfing your website; if the reader gets interested in the advertisement, clicks on the affiliate link and carries out the desired action; then the advertiser pays you a commission –an advertising commission.
The desired action can be the sale of one of the products/services the advertiser offer or downloading of some software, newsletters or trials the promoter present.
PAYMENTS MODES IN AFFILIATE MARKETING
There are various payment modes in affiliate marketing such as:

• Pay – Per – Click:  This is generally a small commission paid most by search engines for visitors to click on a link. For every click on the ad by the sightseer on your website, earns you a small, very small commission.
• Pay – Per – Lead:  This commission is paid generally for downloading newsletter, trials or taking up some services offered by the advertiser. You are paid by lead generation once when the user successfully subscribe for the service and the other time when he pays the full payment.
• Pay – Per – Sale:  This is the highest commission involved in advertising field. You are paid a large fixed commission or a percent of the sale that the advertiser makes because of your affiliate link. It is related with selling of products of a company like the ‘Fortune 500 Companies’.

WHY ‘FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES’ NEED AFFILIATE MARKETERS
Fortune 500 Companies have huge budgets, out of which a small percentage (which is actually a large amount!!) is spent on the advertising world, promoting the products among the prospective buyers to increase their gross revenues.

But the ancient methods of promoting the products through social media like Television have now become outdated, though it still continues. People restrain from watching commercials, considering it as waste of time. Most people today have DVR Systems (Digital Video Recording) in their houses where they can record serials and films, can forward and play; completely cutting out the need to watch commercials, which is great loss to this Companies.

All the more, with advancement in technology, people spent most of their time on their computer, prefer to download or watch movies online, conduct all their works and researches on Internet; and thus this network of networks has a greater impact on them. As a result, many of the Fortune 500 Companies provide affiliate marketing links on their sites, always in look out of webmasters to bring up customers to their site. You can earn well by promoting their products; from $5 to $10 or even as high as $25 depending upon the product you sell.
