I have been talking about Affiloblueprint 2.0 and affiliate marketing recently but I guess I have left out an explanation on what is affiliate marketing for those who are new to this term.

It’s becoming increasingly popular over the years for websites to try make extra or additional income from their sites. With internet traffic increasing everyday and people looking for all sorts of information, the opportunities are there.
But in many cases, new affiliates may not fully understand the affiliate world and what is affiliate marketing all about and the term “affiliate marketing” has often been misunderstood.

In affiliate marketing, there are generally three ways that you will be compensated.
1. First there’s CPC or cost per click.  

2. Next there’s CPA (Cost per Action).

3. Then there is Cost per Sale. This is the topic of discussion here.

Affiliate marketing is huge business, not only on the Internet but in our everyday life. It is a cooperative effort between merchants and an affiliate’s website, in person or your regular brick and mortar store. Affiliate Marketing is a way of promoting a business or product and getting paid a commission for each successful sale you make through your marketing effort or store front. For this discussion, I will just stick to what is affiliate marketing on the internet today.

Those who promote products this way are called affiliates or associates. Most affiliates do the marketing of the products through their own websites, email lists, social networking sites, forums, but you are not restricted to these methods.

Affiliate marketing isn’t a pyramid-selling scheme, although it has often been associated with network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM), it’s similar but somewhat different kind of business model and some prefer to take a wide berth away from that. Will touch on network or multilevel marketing in another post.

Affiliates are people looking for other source of income, trying to earn some extra cash from their websites, during their spare time, or individuals wanting a serious work from home business that they can be perform from anywhere with an internet connection. And do not overlook the potential to earn real serious income from the internet with affiliate marketing.

When we say “affiliate marketing” we’re actually talking about many things:

Finding good products to promote
Building websites
Earning money by displaying ads on your site
Conducting market research
Getting motivated, staying motivated, and avoiding potential mishaps
And more….

So, I hope I have managed to explain what is affiliate marketing in this post.

Does Money Grow on Trees?

Does money grow on trees? That was the question that was posted to me by my son when we were having a family conversation about “money doesn’t grow on trees”. He challenged me by saying that I was wrong and because paper money notes are made of paper, trees will have to be cut down in order to produce paper and then into money thus the answer to “does money grow on trees” should be yes! 

 

Anyway, I need further check and found that the US dollar is actually made of 75% cotton and 25% linen rather than paper and you can catch a short video here on how money is made at how stuff works. I have not done other checks on other countries currency and how they are made but back to the question on “does money grow on trees”. 

 

After I revealed the information to my family, again I was told that money does grow on tree! Cotton comes from a cotton tree right? Well, I guess there are different type of cotton plants and trees and since I am not sure where the cotton comes from in that goes into making the money, can I conclude that we do actually grow money in some ways but not on trees?
