This video shows you How to Start Affiliate Marketing in India. Have you ever thought that you could make money by referring products from an e-commerce site ?
Yes or maybe Not!
It is possible through - ‘Affiliate Marketing’.
Affiliate Marketing is simply: A method of earning a commission by promoting other people’s product.
This is How it works:-
1. You choose a type of product that you want to promote.
2. Register for the affiliate program.
3. Get an affiliate link (which is a special link that tracks all the purchases made by the people using your link).
4. Promote this link.
5. Earn a commission when people buy from it.
There a dozen of affiliate programs available on the internet. But the most popular ones in India is from Amazon and Flipkart.
The best part about Amazon is that:
You earn a commission even when someone makes a purchase on not only the product you’re promoting but on any one or more product that the person buys from amazon within 24 hours, after clicking your link.
This means that you’ll get a commission on not only the product that you’re promoting but on all the products sold in amazon.
This is because when a person clicks on your affiliate link, a special ‘cookie’ gets stored in the browser for 24 hours and all the purchases made by him in that time limit, is credited to you!
But, How to promote this link ?
