If you are wanting to make money working from home then an affiliate
program that combines a residual income opportunity is probably the
best way forward for you.
But first we have to ask “what is affiliate marketing?”
Well one of the easiest ways to make money online is to sell other
peoples products or services in return for a commission. When you do
this you become an affiliate for that person or company, this is what
is known as affiliate marketing.
The commission rates for the products you promote vary according to
what type of product you are selling. For instance if you are selling
digital products, by this we mean anything that can downloaded off the
internet onto a computer, can be as much as 50% up to 80%. On the other
hand if you are selling a physical product that requires packing and
shipping then the commissions are much lower around 4% to 10%. This
lower rate is due to the fact that the merchant has much higher
overheads due to all this extra work.
In view of the big difference in commissions it makes sense to
concentrate on digital products when promoting other peoples products,
although a mixture of both types of products would seem to be a good
mix.
What is residual income?
When you make a sale of a product, whether it be digital or
physical that is always cause for a celebration. However, when
you’ve sold it, that’s it, and you have to start over and
sell to someone else. On the other hand, if you sold something that
entailed a monthly subscription you could keep getting commissions for
months or even years in the future, just on that one sale. This is what
is known as residual income.
A good example of a residual income program is website hosting,
when people buy a website they usually keep it hosted for a number of
years and this can give you a regular monthly, quarterly or annual
income. Other examples are membership sites and even online book clubs.
