The first mistake many new affiliates make is they try to sell the product. As an affiliate you job is to pre-sell the product with good content. You can get paid as in affiliate in many ways.
- You can refer a visitor to a website for a product for sale and you will be paid a commission per sale.
- You refer a visitor to an opt-in box. You may get paid for that action. Some Internet marketers know they will make a certain amount of money off of every opt-in, so they are willing to pay for just the op-in. Plus you may get paid on the back they customer buys or upgrades later.
- This seems crazy, but there are services that will pay you for just sending visitors to a site. Now that is cost per action at its easiest.
There are some things you must understand about affiliate marketing before you go jumping into to this head strong.
