Affiliate Marketing Can Make You Rich As Long As You Do What Is Proven To Work

By Sandrine Vilaine


Affiliate marketing is engulfed in misconceptions and misinformation. No more silly myths, let's take a look at the truth for a change.

One common myth being repeated often is that all affiliate marketing programs are all alike. But the real fact is that affiliate marketing consists of different type of formats. You can choose from Cost per Action, Cost per Sale or Cost per Click, as well as various tiered structures. These programs come under affiliate marketing but each of them performs a different job. With Cost per Action, you're paid when your prospects complete a specific action, such as accepting a free sample or a free trial or even just leaving an email address.

There is some truth to this statement Don't get me wrong, videos, articles, and SEO can be powerful traffic sources. The best thing about free traffic is that it is free; the downside is that it is hard to scale and takes time to accumulate. You have to love that free traffic. Paid advertising definitely isn't the end all be all to affiliate marketing but it can help you experience growth if you're stuck at a certain level using free methods. But saying that you simply can't make money with affiliate marketing unless you pay for the traffic is wrong. There are many affiliate marketers who have made thousands of dollars in commissions without investing anything except time.

One other common myth is that people assume affiliate marketing must be just the same as advertising. While it has similar elements to most advertising, there are also some major differences. Some of the basis is drawn from advertising in the way exposure is generated and ways traffic is enticed. Affiliate marketing is about promoting a product, giving feedback or giving your personal opinion about a product. You can also create a network of people to send out your promotional messages to.

These myths are out here to stop you from becoming a successful affiliate; the only questions, are you going to let them?
