What You Need to Know About Pay Per Sale Affiliate Program- Part 1 of 2




Today, many are participating in affiliate marketing programs. Some even work it as a fulltime job. Not to mention, there isn’t a whole lot of effort that has to be put forth as the one in this business markets other people’s products. Countless amounts of money and precious time are not lost trying to create a product since the affiliate marketer can just jump in and begin the process of gaining massive exposure—even overnight.

The way affiliate marketing works is that a person signs up under a program, and upon sign up, he is given a link to market to the public. He can choose to put it in the resource box of articles, place it in ads on ad traffic sites, market it in traffic exchanges, and much more.

When a person clicks the link and purchases the products being advertised, the affiliate is getting a commission for each sale. there is software set in place that keeps track of how many sales he makes through the use of an ID number. The link that is supplied to the affiliate marketer is attached to that ID which is useful for tracking sales so the owner of the program will be able to give him his cut. Each time a person clicks the link and purchases, that is credit given to the marketer which then converts to money in his pocket
