" What's up guys my name is Mohammed zahran welcome to Affiliate Marketing "
This
article will provide some useful information to those who are planning to start
affiliate marketing. The profit in this business is the sales commission. Affiliates
are interested in the products that offer high sales commissions. The merchants
want to sell their products but they want to pay less sales commission to get
the maximum benefit.
This
article will guide the merchants on how to set their sales commission. Also it
will tell the affiliates how to choose the products on the basis of sales
commission offered.
Affiliate
Marketers and Sales Commission
Whenever an
affiliate marketer plans to enter into this field, the following questions
arise in his mind:
“Will I be
able to earn commission by selling merchant's products? What will be my
percentage? Will I be able to earn a good amount from selling the products or
not?”
There are
different types of affiliate programs. The first type is called “Pay per Sale”, the second
is “Pay per Lead” and last is “Pay per Click”. There are some more types, but
these three are the most popular among affiliate marketers.
In the pay
per sale option, the merchant pays the affiliates on every sale. Usually the
commission rate is anywhere between 10-50%. The products that are really hot in
the market usually give less commission. In the pay per lead, the affiliate is
paid for every person that is registered on the merchant website. Usually a visitor
is offered to use a free product on a trial basis and their credit card
information is stored. The visitor’s credit card is not charged during the
trial period. After the trial period has
expired, if the visitor is interested, he will be charged. In the pay per click
option, the affiliate is paid for every click that is made on his affiliate
link. The affiliate is paid for every click, even if the visitors do not make
any purchases. Obviously the commission on per click is much less as compared
to other options.
In the beginning,
only select the products that are hot and are really making sales, even if
their sales commission is lower. Greater sales will compensate you. If you are
choosing the product just on the basis of high profits and not on the basis of
its demand, then you may suffer. Another good way is to choose the hot products
with less profit and some new products with high profit. Then keep an eye on
your sales. If the new products are giving you the sales then it is ok.
Otherwise remove them and select some other new product with good sales
commission.
If your
website has really a good and constant flow of traffic, then pay per click is a
very good option for you. Because you are paid for every click and you are not
required to make any sales.
Merchants
and Sales Commission
If you are a
merchant, then always offer a commission that is both acceptable by your
affiliates and you. If you offer a very low commission, then there are less
chances of affiliate’s interest in your products and this may reduce your
sales. On the other hand, if you are offering a very high commission, it will attract
the affiliates but in the long term you may suffer. So always try to offer a
reasonable commission.
If you are
a merchant and are going to introduce a new product to the market, then you can
offer some really high commissions in the start. This may be like 50% of the
sale. This will attract the affiliates and you will get a large number of
affiliates in very little time. The affiliates will be highly motivated to make
as many sales as they can so that they can earn high commissions. This will greatly increase your sales. Once your
product has become popular and in demand, then you may reduce the sales
commission gradually.
As a conclusion,
setting a reasonable commission is an important factor for the merchants to do
good business. Also the affiliate marketers should select the products that are
giving them good profit and are easy to sell.
