The Process of Affiliate Marketing
There are 3 players in an affiliate marketing transaction:
1. The product or service vendor (the person or company that owns
the products)
2. The affiliate marketer (which is you) who promotes the products or
services for an agreed commission
3. The end customer that purchases the product or service
The product or service vendor takes care of the following:
• Product or service creation
• A compelling sales funnel to sell the product or service
• All customer service support
• The provision of unique affiliate links
• The provision of marketing tools for affiliates
• Paying affiliate commissions on time
Your job as an affiliate is to find the customers for the product or
service. You will drive visitor traffic to the offers you promote using
unique affiliate links. The affiliate links are unique to you and will
associate you with any sales made so that you can earn your
commissions.
