How Affiliate Business Works ?

There are at least four components for affiliate marketing to work:

• Merchant, business actors who provide products for sale;
• Affiliate, people partnered with merchants to market product;
• Customer, someone who buys a product through affiliates;
• Network, liaison between merchants with affiliates. Or you could say third party/platform accommodate affiliate activities.

For the record, sometimes merchants manage their affiliate programs automatically independent. However, they can also cooperate with certain networks. So,The network provides many affiliate programs from merchants.For how the affiliate itself works, it's quite simple:

How to Monetize Your Website with Google Adsense ?

Why AdSense? Google AdSense is a free of charge, simple way for publishers of all sizes to earn money by displaying targeted Google ads on their sites.

How AdSense works ? Google AdSense provides a way for publishers to earn money from their online content. AdSense works by matching ads to your site based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads, the amount you earn will vary.

The next step is,  Create and activate your AdSense account.

How to do that ?

1. Create an Adsense account 

2. Activate your Adsense account

3. Get your first ads up and running

Adsense revenue Share

For displaying ads with AdSense for content, publishers receive 68% of the revenue recognized by Google in connection with the service. For AdSense for search, 

publishers receive 51% of the revenue recognized by Google. These percentages are consistent, regardless of a publisher's geographic location, and are not in 

any way averaged between publishers. Google don't disclose the revenue share for other AdSense products; the revenue share varies for other products due to different 

costs of developing and supporting these products.

We believe our revenue share is extremely competitive. However, revenue shares alone can be misleading, so we encourage you to focus on the total revenue generated 

for your site. For example, if Google’s auction of ad inventory on your site generates $100, with our 68% revenue share you'd receive $68 through AdSense. Another

ad network might offer an 80% revenue share, but only collect $50 from advertisers, so you'd receive $40.

With the vast number of advertisers competing to appear on AdSense sites, our system ensures that you're earning the most possible for every ad impression you

receive.

The report also said performance marketing continued to be one of the most cost-effective channels for driving online revenues. As a result, top retailers continue to use Commission Junction.

Fifty percent of the top 500 retailers run affiliate programs through Commission Junction. Commission Junction powers more of these affiliate programs than any other single network provider and is the preferred provider in the majority of the marketing categories Internet Retailer tracked, including apparel/accessories. Books/CDs/DVDs, computers/electronics, flowers/gifts, hardware/home improvements, health/beauty, office supplies, specialty/nonapparel, sporting goods and toys/hobbies.

Commission Junction solidified its reputation by building a solid base of advertisers who represent a wide range of large retail markets as well as thousands of niche markets.

This variety of offerings has made the company particularly appealing to affiliates who tend to build small but loyal followings, yet want to make a profit.

What is an Autoresponder ?

 

An auto responder is a software program that automatically sends out emails on a prescheduled basis to all the-opted-in people on your list.

Once you have built a list, the idea is that you send them some freebies or send them a newsletteror an affiliate link etc. You can't possibly do all this manually each time you receive a new opt-in. An auto responder does this automatically for you. Let's say you want to create a five-part email course. You set the intervals for the emails, say once a day. All you need to do is type in the emails once in your auto responder software and your list will get an email once a day. Anyone joining your list will automatically be sent those emails for the next five days.

So the owner of the list uses auto responder software to set up a sequence of emails that go out at regular intervals. You must have an auto responder when you have an opt-in box on your website.

You will have seen these messages at the bottom of your emails:

To unsubscribe or change subscriber options visit:

www.aweber.com

When you click on that link you can unsubscribe.By law you need to put an unsubscribe button at the bottom of each email you send. If people no longer want to receive your emails and click unsubscribe, your auto responder will remove that person automatically from your list and your next pre-scheduled email will no longer be received by the person who has unsubscribed.

Which auto responder is best ?

The best email auto-responder on the market is www.aweber.com, but a good , free alternative is www.mailchimp.com (if using a limited list). Other automated email auto responders include : www.getresponse.com and www.autocontractor.com.

You have to make  sure that you use a professional auto responder service because that way you are more protected from spam complaints.
