The How To On Affiliate Marketing [The Complete Facts]

The Step By Step Blueprint to The How To on Affiliate Marketing

For most people, the worldwide web/internet is a convenient source that is utilized for personal use.

People usually search up how-to guides like “how to make a simple but delicious breakfast” or in our case “The How-To On Affiliate Marketing”.

However, before we go over the how-to, let’s briefly consider a moment to take a step back to see what brought you to acknowledge this type of opportunity.

I would not be surprised the reason you’re here is that you’ve been hearing promising reports about the affiliate marketing business in general.

So for starters, how about we examine to see if this would be the case and would it continue to be advantageous.

First, could the Online Affiliate Marketing Business present a realistic opportunity to make money online?

To find the answer to this question, let’s see what the world population is telling us. (Source acquired from internetworldstats.com)

There are presently around (2020 Est.) 7,796,615,710 billion people on earth and of which, as of December 31, 2019, there are 4,574,150,134 billion people utilizing the internet.

This represents that there are more than a good half of the world’s population is online searching the web for something. 

I would not be surprised to say most are online daily and if not hourly.

Wouldn’t you agree?

To contrast how things have dramatically changed since 10 years ago (end of 2008) there were 6,789,771,253 billion people on earth and of which only 1,463,632,361 billion used the internet.

This represented that only 20% percent of the world population were internet users back then.

Since 2008 and to the present (2018 Est.), the population net growth for the 10 years was 844,987,175 million people.

However, on the internet side, there were an amazing 2,693,299,779 billion additional new users joining in on the internet seen over the same 10 years period.

Using simple math, this represents an annual net average growth of 84,498,717 million people for the world population yet an incredible 269,329,977 million a year or 22,444,164 million new users per month over the 10 years.

As a result, using simple math again, while the world population maintained the expected growth of 12% percent or 1.2% per year during the time period.

Yet on the internet side, it rose to an unbelievable booming 18.4% per year or an incredible184% percent for the 10 years.

So why is this great news for the internet/online business as a whole?

Well, let me translate that in Internet revenue terms.

Revenues for                         2008                                     2017

  • Google                     21.8 billion                            109.65 billion
  • Amazon                   19.17 billion                           117.87 billion
  • Microsoft                  60.42 billion                            89.95 billion
  • Facebook             765 million (2009 Rev)               39.94 billion

As revealed above (data obtained from statista.com), the revenues have continuously increased for these online/internet-driven companies.

Furthermore, as the world’s yearly new births continue to outpace the departed, as evidenced since human existence.

The same order will be actualized when the novice internet users are superseded by the more advanced internet users.

And…

Well, I guess until a new revolutionizing technological advancement breakthrough will come along and replace the internet.

Simply, in other words.

The influence of the internet will not stagnate or become saturated at any time soon.

And, the present trickle-down effect from this tremendous expansion as a result of the internet sector, in all probability, will continue to generate enormous job creation throughout the entire world.

Making this present time and at least for another decade, prompt a genuine opportunity for a legitimate entry point to get involved.

“I say the sooner the better.” What would you say?

With that being said, let’s momentarily take a minute to refamiliarize ourselves in grasping and understanding the basics.

So, what is Affiliate Marketing Exactly?

Affiliate Marketing is a marketing arrangement and as an Affiliate Marketer, you sign up with an Online Retailer for an Affiliate Program. This affiliate program allows you to direct your referral(s) to the retailer’s website. And If your referral(s) makes a purchase then the online retailer pays you a commission.

To give you a much clearer picture, first, you get a website and onto your website, you add all the (ads) Banners and links from the company and/or networks you’ve signed up with for the affiliate program.

When visitors to your website see something they are interested in they will click on the (ads) banner(s) and/or link()s. Then immediately your referral(s) are forwarded to the online retailer’s website.

Now on the company’s/online retailer’s website, your referral can complete the transaction.

One other thing and not to go ahead of ourselves but sometimes during the transaction, the referral may decide to buy more of the other goods and/or services to add on top of the total.

When the purchase or purchases are completed, you’ll receive a commission based on the percentage of the entire sum of the goods and/or services.

Well, there it is in a nutshell.
