Affiliate marketing means promoting the products of others online and get some commission on every sale referred by you.

The affiliates/ third party sites will pay you money for every referral driven by you. Affiliate marketing is a very simple thing where anyone with basic computer knowledge can start it and earn bucks by spending some time online.
Affiliate Marketing Tutorial

What is Affiliate Marketing? 

Promoting and Selling others products online with your reference and get the commission for every successful sale is called as an affiliate program. In other words, we can also say affiliate is a mediator between customer and brand/seller.

How do Affiliates work?

There are different ways to do affiliate marketing online, but the most popular way is Blogging. In Blogging you need to start a website/Blog and start writing articles about items(s) and other valuable information. With the help of your blog you can sell items on the internet and meanwhile, your blog also becomes popular and your online earnings also increase.  Not only Blogging you can also make the separate pages for each product and write some content which should include the product introduction, Pro's. Con's and some final words, the product link (with affiliate). 

I'm giving an idea to start an affiliate site, first choose your niche as Offers/Deals (like Tricksgyan.com/ Omgtricks.com) of all products. Here's what you need to do is finding the best offers online and posting the offer links by adding your special link and make it an affiliate link. Because nowadays this is having a lot of demand and most of the people are searching for Discounts While buying products online and by this way, you can target the maximum number of the audience. But in Blogging, you can only target a specific niche/topic related products.  

The affiliate program is having No Risk. Here you can work anytime. But smart work is more important than hard work in affiliates. Promote your affiliate site through your social platforms and also using SEO strategies. Here you're only investing in the website and nothing else. 

Life Cycle of Affiliate Marketing 

Step1: Showing your Affiliate Ad/Link on your website/blog. 
Step2: Customer clicks on the Ad/Link (Affiliate).
Step3: Customer is sent to the website of the merchant/seller. 
Step4: Customer purchase from the merchants website.
Step5: The Affiliate network will store the details of the transaction, referral.
Step6: The purchase should be confirmed as a valid sale by the merchant. 
Step7: Now the referral amount for the transaction will be credited in your Affiliate account.
Step8: You will get the commission payment into your Bank account directly.

How to start Affiliate Marketing

How much does it cost to start an Affiliate?

The first and basic thing is we need to purchase a Domain (Ex:www.deals4all.com) from any domain seller website. Later you need to go for hosting and place the website in the hosting and connect your domain and hosting then start the website. In WordPress, you can go for free themes/ premium themes according to your budget. I suggest you go to Wordpress platform and find the best themes like a clipper, newspaper etc and start your affiliate website. 

People who can't afford a domain can also start using blogger platform and there is no need of buying a domain also.  The tutorial will give you a clarity about How to create a Blog inBlogger.com. 

How to get Affiliates from Merchants/ Third Parties? 

First, we need to find the sites which provide affiliates and later register in their affiliate program. After registering, we will get the special link and also the terms and conditions, how to use the affiliate links, information etc. You can add this special link to the product page link and make it as an affiliate link.  Now you can start promoting the product of merchant/seller/brand. By this way, the merchant can track your orders with this special/affiliate link. They will also provide you some affiliate login information/credentials here you can see the sales and purchases done with your affiliates. 

I want to show you an example for better understanding. So I'm choosing amazon as my merchant and starting the affiliate. 
1. Go to your search engine and search for an Amazon Affiliate Program, Amazon Affiliate Registration etc. And find the affiliate program SignUp link and start filling your details. 
2. Fill the details and get the special/ unique link for affiliate tracking and now you need to add the affiliate link where ever you are promoting the merchant product.

Affiliate link structure

The link will consist of Product link + Special link = Affiliate link 

Ex: Let us buy a Johnson's Baby Soap through Amazon. 

Affiliate Link: http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B00D5Q75Z?tag=techiezap

Red Color - Product Link
Blue Color - Special Link
So first we need to search for products and get the product link and later add the special link and finally make it as affiliate link and start the promotion. 

Here I'm providing you some popular e-commerce affiliate program/network SignUp links

Final Words

Affiliates are the simplest way to earn money online. So start a website today and promote your links. This is the simplest and  easiest way for earning money by sitting at home and spending some time on the internet. Previously in traditional marketing, sales guys go to every home and sell the products and get some commission on every sale. Here is also the same thing but doing online. You need to have Basic computer skills and after starting a website, you will learn step by step. This tutorial is only for a newbie.
