INTERNET MARKETING - AFFILATE PROGRAMMES

 

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a new twist on an old concept – commission-based sales. At its simplest, it is a partnership between a merchant and a salesperson where the merchant rewards the salesperson, or affiliate, based on some measure of performance – usually a sale, but in some cases for leads or website traffic.
The first mainstream affiliate marketing system on the internet was launched by Amazon.com, offering Amazon "associates" the opportunity to receive a commission for each book they sold for the company. Since then, many thousands of companies have created their own affiliate programs, encouraging online publishers and salespeople to earn commissions through their partnerships.
There are many publishing and sales professionals who are successful affiliate marketers, but they are certainly not the only people participating in the industry. There are also many "amateur" affiliates – people who build a website, or create an online newsletter, or in some cases simply email their friends and recommend a product or service. In many instances, it's no different to recommending a particular brand or store – except that if somebody follows the affiliate's advice, they're rewarded for it.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Since the internet is one of the media with which to view the world and interact with people without getting up from one’s seat, it has become one of the most important channels with which to sell a merchant’s products and wares.
This is the reason why affiliate marketing thrives as a result of the internet’s popularity. The products and wares which the internet markets get the necessary exposure needed to sell well. This is where the fact that affiliate marketing is a lucrative business comes in. What is intended to be sold is sold because the internet is the best place to sell all these merchandise without the merchant giving too much of an effort to sell them per se.
Affiliate marketing may involve a number of different strategies and techniques, from building entire online storefronts offering the affiliate merchant's products, adding some form of advertisement to an existing website, to something as simple as making recommendations in an email and including a special affiliate link that ensures that the merchant credits them for the sale.
The growth of affiliate marketing is constantly increasing, as new merchants discover the value of increasing the size of their sales force by creating partnerships with online publishers. This is especially true of merchants whose products or services may appeal to a particular niche market. How better to become established within that niche than by working with companies and individuals who already know the market because they're part of it?

It’s not an every day thing that you can get access to a plate of food at only 1000 ugsh.

The Saturday of 11^th July 2009, I and my friends couldn’t help the aroma that reached our nostrils .we decided to enter one kiosk along Kira road police station.

At first we were not sure where the scent came from till one of the attendants called out on us!

Banyabo emele e’ lyeno’ (ladies, the food is in here) she said

We entered the small room with tinny benches and sat opposite each other.

Where I was seated I could see the view of the kitchen, then a woman appeared in a red wrapper and slippers to take our orders.

It reminded me of a place in Jinja I had visited where menus were laid out on the tables for customers but they only had one meal available; matooke and beans

This time it was matooke, posho with gnuts.

Life couldn’t get worse after serving two plates; she broke it to me and jenny that the food was finished

“Banyabo wasigadeyo kawunga” (ladies, food is over but we are remaining with posho)

‘Did she think one would order posho with no sauce?’ we smiled it off and told her we were okay with the two plates

We asked her if it was possible for us to buy food from another place but she assured us that she was the only one with the food!

‘What time do people around here eat?’ I wondered. It was just 1:35 pm.

I watched my friends eat their share and we got out of the place with great memories.

‘Kiosk! I am coming back, this time at mid day.

Thanks to Harriet, Grace, Jenny and Alal for making the day colorful.

XSitePro allows you to quickly and easily create a well-structured site with good interlinking between pages that can help you to optimize your search engine rankings.
If you create your articles as sub-pages to a main page (as we have done in this example site structure) the parent page can have an index list of all the sub-pages, complete with page descriptions - these descriptions automatically picked up from the information you have enetered in the Page Settings tab.
Adding a list of sub-pages to a 'main page' is very straightforward: Simply make pages into 'sub-pages' by selecting them one-by-one in the list of pages, left of your screen, then by clicking the right-facing arrow to indent the selected page in the list, below your chosen 'main page'. Once you have set up your sub-pages in the list, simply go to the design tab for your chosen 'main page' (below which you indented your sub-pages), right click in the design window, and select Insert Links to All Sub-Pages.
It's as easy as that!
XSitePro allows you to have an infinite number of pages and sub-pages so feel free to add as many articles as you like. Remember, whenever you add a new sub-page to your list (in this example we're adding articles) they will automatically get added to the index-list of pages that you inserted in your 'main page' as described above.

A Great Way To Build A Content Site

A great source of quality content, fast

You can build tightly focused content by including appropriate articles on your site.
There are several options available for acquiring article content.

• You can write the articles yourself - time consuming, but it does mean that you will have unique content that will not be found anywhere else on the Internet.
    
• You can find appropriate articles on the many article directory sites on the Internet. This can be a great way to find niche articles, but the downside is that the content you find is likely to also feature on many other sites on the web. This can result in pages being 'penalized' by search engines for being 'duplicate content'. Also, for copyright reasons, it is not usually possible to edit the articles you find in article directories and in most cases you will be required to include a resource box that gives credit to the author of the article and usually a link to one of their sites.
    
• A great alternative to article directories are 'article membership sites'. Although this is not a free resource, like those above, it does offer several big advantages. Firstly, it means that the number of people who have access to the articles is restricted so you can be quite sure that the article won't be appearing on thousands of sites all over the Internet (so your pages are less likely to be penalized by search engines for duplicate content).
  
  Secondly, most membership sites that offer articles give you the rights to edit the articles as much as you like. This means that you can take the basic article and change it to suit your own needs. Not only does this mean the content becomes your own unique content it also means that you can optimize the article for your chosen keywords. Lastly, having access to articles you can customize for your own use will help to get you over that initial writer's block. To write an article from scratch can take anything from 30 minutes to a few hours, but if you are customizing an existing article it will take a fraction of the time, often as little as five minutes.
    
• Another option for generating article content is to pay someone to write it for you. You might be thinking "that's too expensive, surely..." but you'd be amazed at how easy it is to find really cost-effective writers online who will often write copy for incredibly low fees. Again, an advantage of this type of content is that it takes you no time to write, can be keyword rich, and is truly unique to your site. 

Sub-page Lists:
A really neat little feature within XSitePro is that you can quickly generate lists of sub-pages (below we've included a list of our article pages below this 'articles index page'). This not only looks very professional, but also makes navigating your article content easier for visitors.
It's especially useful if you have a lot of articles (or other sub-page content) which you wish to present, but don't wish to clutter the main navigation menus with. And the other great reason for using this is that whenever you add another sub page (in this case, another article beneath this article index page) it will automatically be added to the page list below. The descriptions even get added automatically for you!www.africa256.wordpress.com
