Factors That Affect Your Affiliate Marketing Commissions
If you hate statistics and are involved in affiliate marketing, you will probably be disappointed to know that it is a very essential component to your success. For one, you will have to understand statistics in order to determine the viability of a program. You’ll also need it to find out whether or not you can be hopeful regarding the financial side of your business.
Statistics will also help you determine how you can win in terms of affiliate marketing commissions, without which your program will be inadequate and your efforts useless. You’ll also need to learn how to ‘read’ the numbers so you can maintain a sufficient balance in the factors that affect your future income.
Increasing your affiliate marketing commissions
Earnings from affiliate marketing programs come in the form of commissions, similar to the type of earnings that salespeople receive based on the sales they generate. Commissions are a type of performance-based income, in that the amount will depend on how much an affiliate can produce based on the sales brought in by his leads.
There are several factors that will affect the amount of commissions you’ll earn from an affiliate marketing program. These are:
The choice of affiliate marketing program
Not every affiliate marketing program pays the same amount of commissions to its affiliates. Affiliates will have a choice of programs offering a low pay scale ranging from about 5 to 15 percent per sale or performance while others may pay as much as 60 to 75 percent, depending on the type of products or services being offered.
All things being equal, choosing the program that pays a higher commission will result to higher sales.
This can be tricky, however. If you have the niche or at least a good market following, taking advantage of affiliate marketing programs that pay higher commissions will be a no-brainer. However, if you cannot capture the desired market, you might have to experiment with a combination of programs that will bring in the kind of income that is satisfactory to you.
By maximizing your ability and opportunity and building your reputation in the process, you will be able to earn a decent income and solidify your presence at the same time.
The type of earning opportunity an affiliate program can offer will also make a difference in the amount of commissions you can hope to earn. Two-tier programs, for example, offer a better income-generating opportunity than flat programs. Two-tiers offer two income sources, generally from commissions on sales of a product or service and from recruitment of a new affiliate. Income from recruitment can either be a one-time cut (usually a flat rate) for recruiting each new member or a commission off of those members’ future earnings.
Some affiliate marketing programs may also offer recurring commissions, in which an affiliate can earn each time their lead or member renews a subscription or a membership. This type of program means you can hope to earn for as long as your leads or recruits continue to use an affiliate product or service.
Since choosing these types of affiliate programs can make a huge difference in the amount of commissions you can earn from an affiliate marketing program, it makes more practical sense to consider carefully the type of future earnings you can potentially generate.
The product
Affiliate marketing commissions will also depend on the type of products or services the program offers. A product that has the misfortune to belong to a market that’s already heavily saturated will be difficult to sell. On the other hand, a popular item can mean large sales if you have a strong and ready market.
Find out how you can perform based on the statistics offered by the affiliate marketing program you wish to join. ClickBank, for example, allows you to view a product’s potential based on its past performance.
The market
Affiliate marketing commissions rely heavily on how effective an affiliate’s sales and marketing strategies are. In many ways, they will also depend on the relative popularity of the affiliate and on the type of market he chooses to sell to. A small but highly targeted market is more likely to bring in higher commissions for an affiliate while a fairly large but generic market may not produce the same results.
The conversion period
Once you have selected the best and most profitable affiliate marketing program in terms of commissions, your next concern would be how to shorten the conversion period for your customers.
The conversion period refers to the time from which you bring in your lead until the time that he performs a desired action. This action can vary – a lead may subscribe to a service, purchase a product, participate in an online poll or become a recruit. Since the incentive that drives leads to perform a specific action can vary, conversion periods can last anywhere from a very short 24 hours to about 30 to 60 days.
Your job as an affiliate is to persuade your leads to shorten their conversion period and thus increase your affiliate marketing commissions within a reasonable amount of time.
Monitoring RSS Feeds
Measuring and tracking RSS while a fairly simple concept, is really anything but. Unlike websites, RSS have the added caveat of potential syndication, making accurate tracking a challenge to anyone but the extremely tech savvy.
It is not unrealistic for marketers to want to know how many subscribers they have, which items in their feeds attract the most interest, or how many click-throughs are generated as a result of an RSS feed.
There are a number of 3rd party providers who focus on tracking the consumption of RSS feeds. Some solutions are rudimentary but likely sufficient for a small business testing the waters with RSS. Other RSS tracking solutions are more complex and while they can come close to being accurate, with syndication there is no solution that tracks with 100% accuracy.
Techniques Used to track RSS Consumption
Small businesses can view web logs to provide information on how many times a specific file (RSS feed) is requested. The logs and information is rudimentary but will give a basic sense of a feeds success. Many 3rd party tracking options have additional tracking information available.
Hosting
The most common method to track the number of feed accesses or individuals accessing a feed is to use a 3rd party feed host. Companies like FeedBurner essentially track feeds based on accesses. The downside to using a 3rd party like Feedburner, is that the url is a FeedBurner url and any PageRank or popularity associated with the url will benefit the feed host rather than the feed creator. Additionally, no distinction is made between unique views or syndicate feeds.
FeedBurner provides a free no frills service to host RSS feeds and they have been proactive in circumventing user concerns. Recently implementing a service that eases users concerns about migrating from FeedBurner. There is a 3 step process for users interested in migrating from FeedBurner’s free service, implementing a permanent redirect, and url forwarding.
Some publishers, who were concerned about lock-in or wanted to retain control of the domain and feed urls often resist a hosting service. The new program FeedBurner Partner Pro is not free, but allows for users to point to their own domain, retaining complete control of their feeds without sacrificing statistical tracking.
The downside to using a service like FeedBurner is that some filtering applications used on corporate proxy servers block feeds residing on FeedBurner or other free hosts.
Redirects
Companies like SyndicateIQ have more complex tracking solutions that generate unique urls for each subscriber. The tracking benefits to such a customized solution is obvious. Individual user habits can be monitored and any users abusing their access and inappropriately syndicating a feeds content can have their feed turned off. The downside of course is that the success of RSS is in a large part due to the anonymity. Users don’t want their personal habits tracked.
Considering the venture capital interest in these 3rd party hosting services. It is important to note that their value is in the data that they collect. As with any 3rd party service, it goes without saying that publishers should read the privacy policy carefully, be aware of who owns the rights to the collected information, and how that information might be used. It goes without saying that the value in many of the free services currently available lies in their aggregate data.
Uniquely Named Transparent Images
Uniquely named transparent 1×1 graphics can be added to the description field of an RSS feed. Users can use standard web logs to see the number of times the image is viewed and determine the number of times the feed was accessed.

Make your Living Online
Affiliate marketing’s been a staple of the internet marketing scene for many years now. It’s highly touted as a money maker for newbies and experienced marketers alike. But does it really pay to be an affiliate marketer? Let’s take a look to learn more…
Basically affiliate marketing’s an agreement between a web site owner and a merchant. The web site owner’s actually an advertiser for the merchant or product creator. The agreement is a contract between the two parties that stipulates that the site owner can use various methods including the space on his site to promote the merchants goods. The merchant meanwhile agrees to pay a percentage of each sale generated through the affiliates personalized link.
This benefits both sides because the product creator spends nothing to advertise their goods and the affiliate pays nothing to research and develop new products.
This creates a win-win situation.
The product creator wins by saving money on advertising, which is one of the most costly aspects of doing business, by passing this cost on to affiliates. Basically it’s a pay-per-performance deal because the merchant doesn’t accrue any costs until the sale’s made and the merchant pays the specified commission.
The affiliate marketer wins by being able to sell an already developed product, thus saving the time and money on the front end by not having to deal with R&D and product creation. The product is already developed and proven by the merchant, and all you have to do as an affiliate is find as many prospects as you can that will bring in the profit for both the merchant and yourself.
Another benefit to the affiliate is that most programs are free to join and have pre-made sales material so your marketing experience doesn’t have to be that of an expert.
Probably the biggest benefit to being an affiliate marketer on the internet’s the internet itself.
Because of the global reach of the internet it’s very easy to reach tens of thousands of prospects for almost any type of product line. It’s also very easy to intensify your efforts as an affiliate marketer to exploit new and productive strategies such as viral marketing, ebooks, special reports and autoresponders.
Lastly, as an affiliate marketer you get to pick and choose between many different products to promote. You’re not married to a specific product or even a specific product type. Your risks are minimal because there are no long term binding contracts so if one product doesn’t bring in a profit you can quickly and easily replace it with another.
All in all affiliate marketing’s still an excellent way to earn income from the internet. Perform your due diligence, find a hungry market, find a good product and go for it!
Get Started With Your First Blog
There is no question that blogging is one of the best ways to get keyword rich content on your site, get your message on the search engines and get traffic to your website. But how do you get started blogging?
When you consider starting a blog there are many options. A great way to get started blogging quickly (and for free) is to use an online ‘standalone’ service like WordPress or Google’s Blogger. These are free, highly customizable tools that support both new and more advanced bloggers. The negative is that you can’t use your website’s domain name. For instance, if using Blogger, you blog address would be something like ‘yourblog.blogspot.com.’ While you can link to this from your current website, search engines won’t know give you ‘credit’ for the extra content since it is a different domain. With creative cross linking however, you can still benefit from the increased exposure you can get from a blog.
These free services provide powerful software tool that balance value, quality, and ease of use. While some people prefer to use more basic blog services, they too can truly benefit from the ‘built-in’ benefits of WordPress or Blogger along with its existing large community of users.
One of the most notable benefits of these services is the ease of use, and advanced functionality of the service compared to some blog software applications. Neither Blogger nor WordPress require you to know any ‘coding’ and allow you to built and post to your blog with easy to use icons similar to what one would see in a word processing program. Having the ability to utilize a program like this allows people to create blogs that are as high tech, and complete as full blown websites.
If you are occasionally ‘offline’ you can benefit from WordPress’s ability to import posts. This means you can put your blog together while you are not connected to the internet and then import it later. If you already use another blogging service such you can also import your posts directly into Blogger or WordPress.
Another benefit of these services is their large widget or element and theme libraries that allow you to instantly add useful features, and professional looking styles to your blog. A very simple drag and drop interface allows you to add features such as an RSS feed with a few clicks.
Another option to consider would be blogging software that you can directly integrate into your website. Some hosting provides such as GoDaddy allow you to use your existing domain name for you blog. The benefit is that the content of your blog becomes part of what search engines see for your domain. In these cases you are more likely to pay a monthly add-on fee to your hosting provider. As an alternative, Google’s Blogger allows you to publish to a FTP site, which means you can blog from your own domain. You lose some of the flexibility of the ‘out of the box’ service, but with a little effort you can have a customized template and pretty easy posting capability that resides within your domain.
As your needs become more advanced or if you are a more technical blogger you may also consider blogging software that can be directly integrated into your website. One to consider is bBlog. bBlog is an open source, PHP/MySQL application. If you don’t know what the last sentence means, then this isn’t for you. If you do know, then you may benefit from the expanded flexibility an integrated application could provide.
In the end, you have a wide, wide range of very inexpensive (or free) options to get started.

Upfront or Passive Pay?
Have you recently decided that you want to make money writing articles from home? If you have, do you know that you have an unlimited number of choices? One of those choices is what type of payment you want to receive. Two of your main options include upfront payment or passive income.
Upfront payment is nice, as it pays the bills. To receive upfront payment you often acquire clients who need content. This content is either used for a website or for marketing purposes. Usually, the clients that freelance writers work with are either search engine optimization specialists or website owners. Since you write the articles and then hand them over, you are often paid right away.
Upfront payments are also nice in emergency situations. Do you need to make money fast to pay for car repairs? If you do, search for article writing projects that involve payment right away. On average, most paying clients pay their writers within two weeks, if not much sooner. You can find these projects by searching job posting boards, online classified advertisements, and online bidding websites. Just be cautious of scams, as they do exists. Article writing is a legitimate way to make money online, so don’t expect to earn $1,000 in 24 hours, as it likely will not happen.
As great as receiving payment upfront for writing articles is, it also has its downsides. One being the competition. As more people are start looking for ways to save money on gas, be their own boss, or stay home with the kids, the competition for upfront paying projects increases. There are ways that you can overcome this. Polish your resume or portfolio so that you can stand apart from the rest. Apply for as many projects or jobs as possible, as this increases your chances of landing one.
When you have an individual or company who pays you upfront for your articles, they usually retain the rights. This means that you cannot reuse or resell the articles in question. You are also usually operating a ghostwriter, meaning that your name will not be attached to the content.
As for passive income, the greatest benefit of relying on it to make money through article writing is the number of options that you have. To get started, look for revenue sharing websites. You upload your article to the website in question. In exchange for having your content posted and making money through the use of advertisements, you are paid a page view bonus. This bonus will increase with the more articles you write, but it is generated overtime. So, you are essentially earning money for an article that you may have written six months ago.
In addition to third party revenue sharing websites, you can also write articles and post them on your website or blog. In terms of passive income, which keeps generating overtime, a website is best. Blog readers tend to expect new posts to read on a daily basis. To make money this way, you need to have advertisements on your website. There are affiliate programs you can signup for. You can post a small message outlining your site’s advertising rates. In fact, you should try both approaches.
The only true downside to relying on passive income to make money with your articles is that you aren’t paid right away. Most third party revenue sharing websites and affiliate programs require that you hit a specific dollar amount before you are paid. Although not always high, it may take a month or two before you start receiving payments.
Since writing articles for upfront payment and passive income both have their pros and cons, you may be wondering which approach is right for you. Why not give them both a try? If you are in need of money, focus on upfront paying projects, but set a small amount of time aside each week to start generating passive income.
Promoting Your Affiliate Product Sites Made Easy
Promotion can never be a walk in the park. That’s what most of us say. Promoting somebody else’s site for instance makes it much harder for you to attest for the said website. That’s how affiliate marketing works by the way. You are tasked to promote a certain website through your own website. It may sound like a hard task but in reality, that is not true.
Promoting your affiliate sites can simply start by enticing your website visitors to try out this particular product you are endorsing. If you are running a blog, you can simply shift your entries t the product’s advantage. Here’s an example.
You are currently promoting an Xbox website which caters to online gamers. The products range from Xbox accessories to online downloadable games. Your blog is about your everyday living experience, sort of a journal like website. So how would you shift your blog so it could help your affiliate to boost up its product’s sales? It is pretty simple. You could make your entry for one day something like – you are bored and tried to look for something to do. Luckily your cousins arrived and look what they have brought – an Xbox! So you hurriedly setup the console and played to your heart’s content! You must emphasize how you have enjoyed the experience, hence, now you are longing to buy yourself that same console. That’s when you will introduce the affiliate website that you have. You will then mention there how they will save if they go to these certain website and order. You know the drill – just make sure that you always say good things regarding your affiliate.
Here’s another example. Same thing – you have a blog and your affiliate site is for a Nintendo Wii. You could make your entry for one day something like this. You are bored and tried to look for something to do. Luckily your cousins arrived and look what they have brought – a Nintendo Wii! So you hurriedly setup the console and played to your heart’s content! You must emphasize how you have enjoyed the experience, hence, now you are longing to buy yourself that same console. That’s when you will introduce the affiliate website that you have. You will then mention there how they will save if they go to these certain website and order. You know the drill, you have to detail the good testimonies you have regarding the website you want them to visit.
If you are running a blog, you can simply shift your entries t the product’s advantage. That’s when you will introduce the affiliate website that you have. Promoting your affiliate sites can simply start by enticing your website visitors to try out this particular product you are endorsing. That’s when you will introduce the affiliate website that you have. You will then mention there how they will save if they go to these certain website and order. If you are running a blog, you can simply shift your entries t the product’s advantage.
In this manner, promotion of the affiliate sites will be much easier. No pressure on your part and the effect will be colossal. You can simply make the most out of your advertisement by simply using your blog to your advantage. It is like telling a story and at the same time, enticing to your target audience. Now that’s what I call effective blogging marketing.
How to Avoid Scams
If you want to make money writing articles online, there is a good chance that you will turn to the internet in search of paying clients. Unfortunately, you are likely to come across a number of scams along the way. Writing articles for money is a great work-at-home opportunity, but, work-at-home opportunities are often common fronts for scammers. So, how can you avoid these scams? You may be surprised just how easy it is.
First, it is important to know what types of scams are out there. You may find what appears to be a great client who wants you to write 15 articles on fashion jewelry. However, after submitting your articles, your client is nowhere to be found. They took your articles without paying for them. For a writer who takes great pride in their work, this is one of the worst types of scams to fall victim to. There are also scams where companies, claiming to provide you with article writing jobs charge you a fee and then just take your money and run. Some scammers will also create fake article writing jobs in hopes of getting your personal information.
As for acquiring your personal information and using it illegally, a legitimate business owner may need your social security number, as they need to report this information on their taxes. Unfortunately, this is how many scammers get personal information out of hopeful writers. To prevent this from happening from you, know the difference between a well-established website and company versus someone who is only asking you to write four articles. Work with a new client a few times before providing them with any personal information. If you are paid and without problems, the individual or company in question really may need your personal information.
As for someone taking your articles and running, without paying you, there are a number of ways to avoid this scam. Be cautious of new clients. For projects that are large in size, request a small amount of the payment upfront or at the halfway point. If you aren’t paid, don’t write more articles. For smaller projects, where you may feel uncomfortable asking for payment upfront, use you best judgment. If your articles are not paid for, you retain the rights to them, meaning you can resell them.
As for “companies,” who request you pay a fee, you will also want to use your best judgment. There are legitimate companies online that will charge you $5 or $10 a month to participate in their article writing programs. A small fee doesn’t mean that the site is legitimate, but run away from fees that are high, like $20 or more. Also, never pay a company that claims you can make thousands of dollars a day. Article writing can be a well-paying gig, but since it is a legitimate job, so you should have reasonable expectations.
As previously stated, be sure to use your best judgment. Although some online scams can be easy to fall for, most are easy to spot and from a mile away. As long as you know that article writing scams do exist and what to look for, you can better protect yourself. By steering clear of the above mentioned scams, you can enjoy a long and profitable career as an article writer.
How to Sell Outsourced Articles
Are you looking to make money with the reselling of outsourced articles? If so, you have so many options to choose from. In fact, you may be wondering where and how you can get started.
Are you an established website owner who has experience with creating professional websites? Are you familiar with HTML? Do you have experience marketing websites to ensure that they aren’t lost in the millions of other websites already available online? If so, create your own online marketplace. This is where you will list your outsourced articles for sale
The first step in doing so is choosing a domain name and web hosting plan. When examining your options, be sure to read all rules and restrictions. Some companies require you to have a business account to sell, but others do not have this restriction. Next, look for affordable web hosting plans. If you are selling outsourced articles, you paid to have these articles written. To increase your profits, keep your business expenses low.
Most importantly, you need to decide how you want to sell the outsourced articles. This is another choice that may be difficult for you. If you are looking to make money right away, list each article for sale individually on your site. Sell it with exclusive rights. By giving up full rights to the article, you can reasonably set a higher asking price. This is because you will remove the article from your website and transfer selling rights to the buyer.
If you want to earn the most money, but don’t mind waiting for that money to arrive, consider selling your articles in PLR packages. PLR packages are a series of articles that are offered for one low price. As an example, 10 articles for $10. When selling PLR articles, buyers know that you will sell the article more than once. That is why they are willing to pay such a low price. The money the saved will likely be spent on an article rewriter, which charges less money. Since you can sell an unlimited number of PLR article packages, there is potential to earn a significant amount of money overtime.
As previously stated, creating your own online marketplace is recommended if you have a large number of articles to sell, if you are familiar with internet marketing, and if you know how to build a website. If you do not meet these recommended qualifications, you can still make money reselling outsourced articles. Instead of creating your own online marketplace, you will want to turn to existing websites.
When selling your outsourced articles on an existing marketplace website, you should be able to set your own terms. This means that you can sell your article with exclusive rights or with usage rights. The approach you take should depend on how much money you want to make. As a reminder, you paid to have these articles written by a professional. To profit form their resale, you need to charge more money than what you paid. But, since many third party websites charge you fees, these fees should be factored into your selling price.
What is nice about using third party websites to sell your outsourced articles is that you can gauge your success. Creating your own online marketplace is recommended only if you have a large collection of articles available for sale, twenty at the very least. Before you spend a lot of money buying outsourced articles to resell, you should first test the waters to make sure that you can profit from doing so.
As for hiring writers to compose the articles for you, use your best judgment. To retain the largest profit, choose a quality article writer, but one that has reasonable rates. You do not have to disclose your intent with the articles, but state your expectations. To resell outsourced articles, you must retain the rights to them. Let the writer in question know that they turn over full ownership of the articles to you once paid.
