Affiliate Marketing:
Affiliate marketing differs from advertising in that, in advertising advertisers pay upfront or on an agreed basis to web publishers. Being affiliates mean, the advertisers pay a commission only after a sale is executed through their web.
In affiliate marketing, there are some variations and additions to the basic scheme explained above, such as discount coupons, points, rewards based on click or number of clicks etc. etc..
In another variation, affiliates become partners to other affiliate links which have links with several marketers. So, web publishers instead of becoming affiliates to individual marketing companies, become partners to affiliate links and, therefore indirectly affiliates of all the companies they have links. The commission are shared between them on an agreed basis.
This helps web publishers to concentrate on creating rich content, improved and attractive design, SEO optimization and expand reach through social and other media to attract more traffic to their site.
Affiliate marketing can be, depending on the knowledge, skill and effort, a source of income or, at the least, additional source of income. This can be an additional knowledge base for IT professionals. There is room for more affiliate marketers, as some studies have shown.
Today affiliate marketing has made some impact only in mobile and some electronic items. In others it is only superficial and requires more affiliates with social media support.
