Leased Ad Space
Affiliate programs are the perfect way to optimise your website and to subsidise any income. Depending on the amount of work that you are willing to do to maximise your personal sites visitor count, the awards for being an affiliate are boundless. Through advertisements, emotive language and word of mouth you can create real interest in a website and if that site also carries affiliate advertisements, you could be in line for some substantial financial rewards. Even if you do not fancy investing time into advertising and marketing there is still the opportunity to earn money as an affiliate. Companies do not discriminate over, which sites are more worthy and, which should be dropped. Affiliates pay nothing for the advertising space until they have generated customers through a site. So it is a risk free environment in which all parties are given the opportunity to earn money without the pressure of paying up front.
Some affiliate programs pay you a one off figure for attracting a customer, which is all right for a casual earner. However for the more business minded, regular incomes are also available from affiliate sites. Take online poker sites, this is an industry that is going from strength to strength and growing everyday. Tapping into this hugely lucrative market can give even the smallest affiliate a percentage of the profits. The poker sites usually offer an affiliate a percentage of a poker players lifetime value, taken from games and account top ups. If the player is a high user, in so far as he or she spends a lot of time and money in the poker halls, even just one player can earn a fairly regular income for an affiliate. But imagine for a moment the potential of attracting dozens or hundreds of players through your site, with an affiliate earning 30% of the overall money generated. An affiliate can build an empire running into hundreds of dollars a month if not more.
The opportunities are only limited by an affiliates own work output. By making their personal site popular and attracting hundreds of hits each day, the chances of attracting people to the advertising banners is hugely increased. Therefore promotion of the personal site and the affiliate sites is essential to make the visitors first come to your site, and secondly to make them want to follow your links and sign up. Emotive language and relevant text are usually the most popular ways to attract a new guest. Whilst there is no sure fire guarantee affiliates can certainly improve their odds by first marketing their site and then secondly persuading visitors to follow the banners and join the site. The incentives are there to be taken, all that is required is the will and a little effort to make an affiliate business a success.
