"a method of promoting web businesses(merchants/advertisers) in which an affiliate is rewarded for every visitor, subscriber, customer, and/or sale provided through his/her efforts."Chances are good that you have seen "Ads by Google" during your journeys around the cyberworld. You see them on nearly every site on the internet these days. Same is true with ads popping up on Facebook and other social media sites. Basically, if you click on one of those links, the owner of the site makes money. So does Google, or Facebook or whomever. That is affiliate marketing.
The Google model is "pay per click" - something you will rarely find in the adult world. Most are "pay per purchase". For instance, as I have been writing this post, I just received an e-mail telling me that someone has made a purchase as a result of clicking on one of my affiliate links. The person paid $19.95 for his first month of a recurring membership to a particular site. I will get $9.97 of that money. Since it is a "recurring" program, I will get 50% of all of his or her membership fees for as long as he maintains his membership in the site.
Some affiliate programs are one-time payments, instead of recurring memberships. Almost always, the sponsor pays you more than the first month's membership in the site. Let's say Tony comes to on of my sites and sees a link to a gallery of pictures. He likes the sample picture that I have posted, and clicks on it in order to see the entire gallery. Tony likes what he sees, so he clicks again on the gallery page where it says, "See all of her pictures here". Tony learns that for $29.00 he can see all kinds of pictures of that girl and others like her for a whole month. As a bonus, his $29 will get him into 10 more similar sites. Tony wants more, so he pulls out his credit card and pays the 29 bucks. If I am using a single payment affiliate program, I may make $35 or more. Some programs even run special bonuses on certain days. Whether Tony stays for 10 minutes or 10 years, the payout is the same.
So what do you need to get started? First, you need a website. Again, I recommend a simple blog. Then find a couple of good sponsors who will provide sample materials that you can use as content on your blog. I have begun a list in the right-hand column of quality adult webmaster programs. Believe me, there are dozens - if not hundreds - of them out there, but they are not all equal! Sign up, grab a few galleries and build some links.
Still need more help? Stick around. I'll have more to post very soon.
