Got something to say?
Yes you can. Wherever people can click on your affiliate link will work… if they buy or whatever has to happen for you to get paid. But just don’t spam links everywhere.
Hi,
I’ve just discovered this thing and it sounds nice, but
I wanted to know, if I don’t have a website, can I still be an Affiliate? if so, how? (through mails? IM’s on MSN, Skype, etc…?
Thank you.
if it’s so urgent you can reach me through my site
Good video and I enjoyed the comments
hi im with a affiliate company and would like to talk to u personaly because i have serious questions i dont really ever use you tube but plz leave me a message letting me kno if we can talk thanks
Nice video. Hope we can connect as I am an entrepreneur also. Check out my videos and add me as a friend/subscribe to my channel if you like. Have a great day!
The merchant who has the affiliate program will pay you in different ways. Some are check, some paypal, some both. Read the merchant affiliate program description for details. It might be 30 days or more before you are paid and there also could be a threshold before they pay you (e.g. min $100 or min 2 sales etc.) If you want to retrieve money from paypal you need to hook it up to a bank account and some countries are supported differently due to national banking systems and practices etc.
i need to know if a customer purchased an item from your affiliate link and you want to retrieve the commision amount from your paypal account. how would the process work will they send you a check in mail? will the money be sent to your bank account? and do you need a bank account to retrieve money from a sale you made through paypal?
i kind of understand now. but explaining it under or at 2 min doesn’t seem enough.
Hey you over shot 2 minutes!!
In the long run yes you should have your own site where you add value to the product being recommended. e.g. a thorough review site or offering some other product as a bonus. But many affiliates send traffic to merchants other ways e.g. with paid ads or email marketing etc.
I’ll probably make another video explaining it in under 2 minutes. would that help?
yes – the link can be on your site or anywhere else e.g. paid ads, banners, forum signatures (just don’t spam them), printed somewhere, etc.
i still dont understand do you need to know how to make a website to start this?
the more i go deeper the more confuseing it is. is there anyway u can put up a example, like how the blog or the link will go together.
cool, but i have a question. so the we need a website right? there is no “add to cart” or “buy” buttom right? just a little blog of the product and a link right?
just start a blog about your passion, build a list (offer a report as an example), and then offer the list things they want. there you go – that summarizes 90% of the ebooks out there
yes check out google adsense. getting the traffic is not simple though.
Awesome Video
Fantastic Content
Keep sharing!
how do you make money from ad clicks? is it really that simple that you get paid for advertising something on your page?
I know all about affiliate marketing. But I am sick of all the claims of big money and the marketing scams. How do you do affiliate marketing without spending all day online posting, bloging, and commenting on related articals or post. And then only get a trickle of traffic and one or two sales a week? I know I need a marketing system that works. But everything I try is crap or a scam. How do I get quality leads or traffic for an almost zero dollar kitchen table startup?
See my reply / comment on age above or below this one.
ANY age – if you can type on a keyboard or whatever works for you then you can do it. It does take some work tho. I know 13 year olds making money – e.g. they hear their friends misspell certain site names, so they buy a domain for $8 and redirect it to a domain parking service where they get paid for clicks on ads that are on that site. Of course you might need to get your parents to help you if the affiliate program or google adsense requires an age minimum. Don’t let your age hold you back.
Hey Pete – didn’t realize you were such a big star on YT!
Nice vid too – we still have to catch up for an interview!
how old do u have to be to do affiliate marketing? Can u do it if your under 18?
