Affiliate Marketing 101

To begin, in the event that you're new to affiliate marketing, here's a brief introduction to get you up to speed:

Affiliate marketing is a widely used strategy where individuals are rewarded for promoting a business's products or services. Essentially, when a sale occurs through their specific referral link, the affiliate marketer (or simply the affiliate) receives a fee from the vendor.

This marketing technique offers a range of benefits for membership and ecommerce sites:

• When you use affiliate marketing, you pay only when a sale is completed. It is an extremely low-risk cost-effective way to grow your membership base without the upfront costs associated with traditional advertising methods.
         
  
• Performance-based design also means it's easily scalable and is suitable for membership-based websites regardless of the stage they are in expansion. If your subscribers' base increases exponentially you won't have to deal with a corresponding increase in marketing effort or expense.
         
  
• Affiliates, particularly those that are well-aligned with your site's focus, can directly reach specific, niche groups. Are you running a fanzine for your soccer club, or a vegan cooking school? Affiliates with niches can be your most effective individuals to help spread information about your business. With them as your partners the marketing campaigns are highly specific, attracting members who are more likely to engage with your content as well as your community.
         
  
• Unlike one-time ad campaigns, affiliate marketing provides continuous promotion of your site's membership. This continuous exposure helps keep your site in the forefront and also attracts new members as time passes.

If you're now fully informed about affiliate marketing and the potential it has to benefit your business is obvious It's the right time to take a look at what the Easy Affiliate integration will mean for your site's membership.

"We've tested a few other membership tools that were part of packages that we'd invested in. But there's nothing that can beat Member. There's certainly a lot of cool stuff out there that people have been building over time. But when it comes to personalization, if your use WordPress it's impossible to do this. Of course, I'm biased, but we've made millions of dollars because of this program."
