No More Beating Around The Bush.
Alrighty then, affiliate marketing is a type of online marketing where you will be selling a product or service for a commission.
Just like a door-to-door solicitor, you are selling something that someone else made but for a commission.
There are a few big differences between being an affiliate marketer and being a solicitor.
Big differences that make it far more appealing and potentially profitable.
The best advantage of being an affiliate marketer is that you’ll be selling products online rather than having to do it in person.
This makes it considerably easier if you’re someone who doesn’t have the gift of the gab.
Also consider that you’ll have no overhead and less work to do yourself.
Imagine sitting at home and making commissions by sending out a few e-mails and being active on your favorite social media channel.
What’s more, is that you will be able to reach more people compared with a door-to-door solicitor because the business is far more scalable.
The internet makes it possible for us to reach millions of people and potentially to introduce your product or service to thousands of people every day.
Considering that a solicitor might have a good day if they manage to get some people interested after canvassing a subdivision or two.
You can easily see that affiliate marketing has a far bigger potential for earning.
The difference is like night and day when you work as an internet marketer versus a solicitor.
This alone means that you could potentially increase your revenue and profits, but it goes beyond that.
Because affiliate marketing gives you considerably more profit per sale and more commission.
Depending on what you decide to promote, a typical amount for a product creator to share with affiliates is 50% or higher.
Some programs like Amazon offer a much lower rate for their affiliates, less than 10%. That means a lot of sales.
Products can be found for a range of prices too.
If you’re selling a digital product then you can expect to make anything up to $97 for a sale.
High ticket online courses and programs can go for a lot more, sometimes as much as several thousand dollars.
Better yet, if you can sell a membership to Clickfunnels for example, you can get a monthly commission from that member for the lifetime of their membership!
All you have to do then is to talk about the product on your favorite site.
Which simply means posting comments in Facebook groups or sending e-mails.
And you have a potential commission every time someone checks it out.

This will ensure that you are posting in the right places and promoting your products in the right way too.
So you have a bigger profit margin on each sale and you’re now earning a lot more each time someone buys from you.
This is the potential of high ticket affiliate marketing and it’s what makes the whole idea so appealing to so many people.
