How does affiliate marketing work?
The vendors want to sell as many products (or services) as possible. They are ready to
give a significant part of the price to somebody who directs customers to them. In case
of products, the affiliate gets paid once – just after the customer makes the transaction.
But sometimes the product is a subscription or a membership program, and usually in
such cases the affiliate earns a steady percentage of the subscription fee for as long as
the customer keeps paying. This way a couple of dollars invested in advertising can
yield a steady income that is several times larger than the money spend on that
advertisement. This is a very profitable business, with profits reaching several hundred
percent, and, what is very important, this method works very fast.
