DIgital marleting as we know offers wide variety of caeers,each of the subfield it has is a career course in its own .we have explained this in detail in the past as well.

We have till now discussed in detail about SEO(Search engine optimization), SMM(Social media marketing),content writing ,digital marketing. Their scope ,job opportunities etc we have discussed them all ,now we are going to discuss about the term Affiliate marketing.

Affilaite marketing in easy words is a digital marketing strategy,where the company or the business does not directly promotes their products,services etc but instead of it , the third party people promotes the services or the products of the brand so he or she is responsible for the advertisemnt ,marketing or the promotion of the business and they get a fixed percentage of commsion depending on the product that they are able to generate a sale .

This marketing strategy has the power to generate leads , generate sales ,bring traffic to your website ,so if done efficiently it can be proven very useful.

WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE?

Affiliate is the person who is engaged somehow in some way or the other with the domain of affiliate marketing. Thus we can say that he \she may not be directly involved in the brand but after joining the affiliate programs they are an important asset for their respective brands because they are not only the advertisers,but in some cases they are the trust providers,even the spoke person for the brand because obviously their image will be corresponding to the image of their respective brands. 

Thus it should be the utmost duty of the company to choose their affiliates in the affiliate marketing wisely, if they promote any harmful activities or any bad things under their domains they should be boycotted and not allowed to run the affiliate programs for the brands.

BENIFITS OF AFFILAITE MARKETING

Affiliate marketing offers a work environment and work situations that are often beneficial to both the brand as well as their affiliates both. This is because it is comparatively easy for the new startups to run their affiliate programs as they are not more costly and since they are new startups they are not in a position where they can spend a lot on their marketing.

So in those cases the brands look for affiliate marketing programs to promote them, which will be effective and efficient both for them. Moreover, the brand just needs to pay the commission for only the leads that are successfully converted into the customers or service takers,other people who just show interest in the brand,the brand does not pay the commission for them.

In the case of affiliates or the 3 people that are involved, affiliate marketing is also a good option to earn because it is quite a safe thing for the starting as it does not require 

any capital or any involvement of money because in the starting of career, this is a major obstacle for many people to arrange money, moreover, affiliate marketing provides flexible working hours. it is not necessary to be on the phone from a fixed period of time to another fixed period of time but you can use your phone any time of the day for 2-3 hours of the day and it will provide results to you.

Apart from that affiliate marketing provides a scope of growth to the affiliates and the brand both . During the affiliate program, the brand will get various leads that otherwise they would not get,many people who earlier were unaware about the brand will now be aware bout it so it will benefit the brand and when the affiliate joins the program they will also get the necessary exposure which they need as a starting push in their career, moreover, their domain and their contacts will also increase.

If earlier for example they knew 5people only,but after joining the affiliate program,they will interact with the customers, other affiliates of the same company or the other so they will also get to know more people and as we all know how important is the contact building in the corporate world. We seriously do not know when or at what point someone can benefit you.

And in most of the cases the commission percentage is already fixed by the brand,so we can analyze that after deep studying of their cost ,their profit margin the brand selects the percentage so they still earn profit after giving commission to affiliates and as well the affiliates can also analyze the time they will invest,

If they think the money is worth the time invested they can opt further. So we can say it is a win,win situation for both the parties. Also affiliate marketing is a good source of passive income for the people who are involved and also for the people who are learning and trying to get involved in it.

Moreover there is a specific limit also set by the brand , under that fixed period of time if the customer makes the purchase then the affiliates can earn their commission.The average commission percentage set by the company remains between 1 to 10 %of the price of the product .
