What Is Affiliate Marketing and How to Get Started 2022

Affiliate marketing is a means for freelancing online by promoting the products of other companies for a fee. Note that I am considered among the digital marketing business. Today we will talk about how it works and what types of affiliate programs exist.

Who participates in affiliate marketing

• A regular affiliate campaign involves 5 parties. Let's talk about each side in more detail. 

Marketing Partner (Publisher)

• A marketing partner attracts traffic to goods/services by connecting them with the consumer. His main goal is to get people to act here and now: place an order, register on the website, fill out an application, that is, perform the necessary target action (Conversion Flow), which will put money in his pocket.

Partner's tasks:

1. find products or services (offers) for promotion.
2. identify the target audience, identify its pains, problems.
3. study the product, formulate its benefits, advantages.
4. to make a marketing analysis of competitors, their weaknesses, and strengths.
5. create marketing materials (ads, landing pages).
6. attract potential buyers (traffic sources).
7. optimize the campaign (test the components of the campaign, bring it to profit).
8. scale an already quite profitable campaign.

Affiliate Network

• Partner networks are platforms for offers and goods/services that companies promote. Networks are intermediaries between partners and the owners of offers, and advertisers.

• The promoting accomplice Work with the membership program and straightforwardly with the publicist. But working with an affiliate network has a number of valuable advantages:

1. Partner networks provide access to hundreds and thousands of offers in various fields and up-to-date information on what to promote.
2. Partner networks hire a manager who can help with technical problems, suggest what is "hot" now, activate special offers, increase revenue, and much more. 
3. Partner networks provide fast cash turnover. They make it divided or once every week, and with a huge number of deals constantly. Advertisers usually pay only once a month.
4. Partner networks assume the risks of non-payment on the part of the advertiser. If the advertiser decides to terminate the cooperation without paying the required amounts to the affiliate, she will still pay the earned amount to the marketing partner.

Offers and verticals of partner networks

In affiliate marketing, there are such concepts as offers and verticals. Offers (offers) are specific goods, and services offered for promotion for a fee. Similar offers are combined into verticals (niches). For example, the fat-burning complex "Neo Slim" is an offer, it belongs to the vertical "Health/Beauty." Each vertical has its own ways of promotion, traffic sources, and promotional materials.

what and how do partner networks pay

Partner networks pay only for the completed target action. However, so does the advertiser. Conversion flow is a series of sequential actions that the user must perform in order to perform this action expected by everyone. When it is completed, the conversion is counted. The advertiser pays the affiliate network, and she pays the marketing partner.
