About Affiliate CommissionsWritten by Jude Wright
Have you ever thought about different methods by which affiliate commissions are paid? There are four main types of commission pay categories. They are:1. Pay Per Sale - Nearly everyone is familiar with this type. Pay Per Sale is when affiliate program company pays commission as either a fixed amount or a percentage of each sale that you make. 2. Pay Per Impression - When you place a banner or a link on your website, and it is 'displayed' to your visitor, you will be paid a few cents for that visitor. All visitor has to do is see it; he/she doesn't have to click on it. If your site is a high traffic site, this is one way to add another stream of income. 3. Pay Per Click - You are paid a commission for each time a person clicks on a banner or link. The commission paid for Pay Per Click would typically be more than for Pay Per Impression. 4. Pay Per Lead - is when a visitor actually signs up for something: a newsletter subscription, a contest, or if a form is filled out asking for more information. These examples would establish lead you are getting paid for. The dollar amount isn't that high - only one to two dollars but can add up.
| | Internet Marketing - Surviving the First YearWritten by Keith Thompson
So you've decided to take leap into deep water and go into business for yourself, specifically into Internet Marketing. Congratulations! This was a smart decision, one that will eventually reward you with all dreams you can dream. Your challenge now is to survive that 1st year. Hopefully you're reading this early on in your endeavors, and can make adjustments necessary to keep your enterprise afloat and your bank account bouyant. Here are several things "gurus" neglected to mention along way to building your own internet marketing empire! 1 - Who are you listening to? There are a lot of people who've made a lot of money, and they're all too eager to tell you about it, frequently in form of their latest product. It's very easy to find yourself tuning in too many voices, instead of riding one horse till it either gets you there or is spent. Find a niche that interests you, find products that are either yours or through an affiliate program, and focus entirely on your plan, not allowing yourself to chase rabbits. 2 - What is certain! And that is that real money to be made in internet marketing is produced in following ways: owning your own site(s), your own products, your own opt-in mailing list, and your own vision! Think about it! Not one of internet millionaires to whom we look to for advice has lacked any of these for very long. You bought their products off their sites, joined their mailing lists, and to one degree or another shared their vision. If you haven't already, begin immediately to build your own empire. Build a site, start learning about traffic, linking, opt-in lists and all other essentials necessary for long-term success. Affiliate marketing will only take you so far. In fact, most of top affiliates have several of their own products!
