Once you
have taken the decision to enter the affiliate marketing arena it's
time to look for good affiliate programs and affiliate
networks.
What's the difference?
An affiliate program is normally run by the merchant himself, there is
no third party or broker involved. The merchant employs an affiliate
system to hire affiliates, deals with them directly, supplies the
affiliate links, the promotional materials and pays the affiliates
their
commissions.
On the other hand, an affiliate network is a system which manages
products of several merchants, hires affiliates, collects the money
from sales and processes payment of affiliate commissions. Once an
affiliate joins the network, he will gain access to hundreds, sometimes
thousands, of products from different merchants. He can choose the
products he wants to promote and the affiliate network serves as a
broker between the affiliates and the merchants.
Because almost all affiliate programs are free to join, you may be
tempted to join multiple affiliate programs. In fact, there is no limit
as to how
many affiliate programs you can join. However, joining too many
programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time will
prevent you from concentrating on each one of them and most probably
not realizing its maximum earning potential.
A
word of caution: affiliate programs and affiliate
networks work sometimes under different terms, rules and guidelines. It
is important
that you as an affiliate acknowledge these rules and abide by them.
Also please note that not all affiliate programs are made equal:
there are good affiliate programs and there are bad
affiliate programs. Stay away from affiliate programs that offer
products of inferior quality that are difficult to sell, or have a
history of bad dealing with its clients, or of failing to pay his
affiliates.
