Selling through affiliate marketing programs? - Den - 04-08-2014 08:47 PM
I have several articles and I am planning to sell them at $20 per 50 articles. Is there any online affiliate program where I can find any broker who will sell them for me? I have no paypal available in my country.

The idea of paying someone for sending you business has been around for a long time. Affiliate marketing is just a new, Internet-based, take on it. An affiliate sends traffic to your website and is paid a commission on each sale. For software this commission will typically be in the range 20-50% of the sale price (although commissions of 75% or more aren’t unheard of). Commission is usually calculated by using cookies to track the number of successful sales (‘conversions’) due to each affiliate.

Hey, Den
First of all, you'll need to decide what niche you'd like to be an affiliate in.
And maybe it will be helpful for you to know that some niches are traditionally full of affiliate marketers, such as dating, online casinos, pharma, payday loans, etc.
Then you'd need to find a few affiliate programs in that niche (by searching for "become our affiliate", etc. )
You may also want to check out affiliate networks where a lot of affiliate programs and their conditions are listed.
Then your goal is to expose affiliate links/banners to people. Where and how you do it - it is up to you. Some people create blogs and sites for this purpose (partner sites = because you're not the original merchant, but a reseller).
If you make a lot of sales, you can negotiate higher commission with the partner. They might agree to it.
The key to success here is to choose the right affiliate program and then to find the right means of promoting your affiliate offer online.
