Affiliate - Multi-tier programs

Some advertisers offer multi-tier programs that distribute commission into a hierarchical referral network of sign-ups and sub-partners. In practical terms, publisher "A" signs up to the program with an advertiser and gets rewarded for the agreed activity conducted by a referred visitor. 

If publisher "A" attracts publishers "B" and "C" to sign up for the same program using his sign-up code, all future activities performed by publishers "B" and "C" will result in additional commission (at a lower rate) for publisher "A".

Two-tier programs exist in the minority of affiliate programs; most are simply one-tier. Referral programs beyond two-tier resemble multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing but are different: Multi-level marketing (MLM) or network marketing associations tend to have more complex commission requirements/qualifications than standard affiliate programs.

Kisah individu ingin menjadi usahawan internet... Tetapi BUTA IT

Saya harap dua posting sebelum ini telah membuka mata anda tentang kepentingan minisite.

Seterusnya memberikan diri anda sendiri peluang untuk memahami sistem CMS MiniNiaga yang direka khas untuk membantu usahawan internet seperti anda dan saya sendiri.

Jika anda masih belum memahaminya, luangkan sedikit masa ke laman web di bawah:

Baiklah, mari kita teruskan dengan intipati posting ini.

Saya ingin bercerita sedikit mengenai kisah seorang individu yang ingin menjadi usahawan internet...

Nama individu tersebut ialah Amin (Bukan nama sebenar)

Tetapi beliau seorang yang buta IT... Sehingga hari ini.

Pada awalnya, Amin berpendapat bahawa perniagaan internet tidak sesuai untuk semua orang hanya disebabkan ia memerlukan kemahiran teknikal yang tinggi seperti pembinaan laman web, pemasangan domain, hosting dan sebagainya.

Bagaimanapun, setelah melihat kejayaan beberapa individu lain yang berjaya menjana pendapatan lumayan melalui internet, Amin bertekad untuk mencuba nasib.

Pada percubaan pertama, Amin gagal kerana laman web yang dibina menjadi kucar-kacir.

Ini berikutan beliau tidak tahu langsung mengenai asas pembinaan laman web.

Walaupun Amin gagal, namun kegagalan tersebut tidak menghalang beliau untuk terus mencuba.

Tiba-tiba seorang rakan Amin iaitu Abu dapat tahu bahawa Amin ingin memulakan perniagaan internet tetapi menghadapi masalah untk membina laman web.

Abu pula seorang yang pakar dalam membina laman web.

Lantas Abu menawarkan perkhidmatan beliau kepada Amin untuk membina laman web secara percuma.

Tanpa berfikir panjang, Amin menerima tawaran tersebut dan akhirnya laman web tersebut berjaya disiapkan dengan reka bentuk yang tersusun dan professional.

Amin berasa amat gembira atas bantuan Abu dan ingin menggunakan perkhidmatan beliau sekali lagi bagi menjual produk di internet pada masa akan datang.

Namun begitu, nasib tidak menyebelahi Amin.

Abu tidak lagi menyediakan perkhidmatan secara percuma kepada Amin. 

Beliau mengecaj harga yang tinggi sehinggakan Amin sendiri rasa tidak berbaloi untuk membayarnya.

Adakah anda nampak situasi yang sedang berlaku?

Jika kita tidak mempunyai kemahiran untuk melakukan sesuatu, kita boleh minta bantuan orang lain atau lebih dikenali sebagai 'outsourcing'.

Namun begitu, tidak semua (hampir 99%) daripada mereka tidak akan membantu anda melainkan anda mempunyai sejumlah wang yang setimpal dengan bantuan yang diminta.

Jika ada yang berikan secara percuma, lama kelamaan mereka akan caj anda jua (mungkin dengan harga yang lebih tinggi).

Kesimpulannya, anda boleh memilih untuk belajar sendiri atau mengupah orang lain.

Walaubagaimanapun, bukankah lebih baik jika ada sebuah sistem yang mampu membuat semua itu dengan kos yang lebih rendah...

Serta lebih memudahkan?

Ya, sistem tersebut kini sudah wujud dan kebanyakkan usahawan internet sedang menggunakannya.

Anda boleh layari laman web di bawah untuk dapatkan sistem tersebut dengan segera.

Bayangkan anda kini sudah disediakan sistem yang hanya memerlukan beberapa klik sahaja untuk anda bergelar usahawan internet.

Jumpa lagi!

Affiliate - Compensation Methods

World Of Affiliates

Predominant compensation methods

Eighty percent of affiliate programs today use revenue sharing or pay per sale (PPS) as a compensation method, nineteen percent use cost per action (CPA), and the remaining programs use other methods such as cost per click (CPC) or cost per mille (CPM).

Diminished compensation methods

Within more mature markets, less than one percent of traditional affiliate marketing programs today use cost per click and cost per mille. However, these compensation methods are used heavily in display advertising and paid search.

Cost per mille requires only that the publisher make the advertising available on his website and display it to his visitors in order to receive a commission. Pay per click requires one additional step in the conversion process to generate revenue for the publisher: A visitor must not only be made aware of the advertisement, but must also click on the advertisement to visit the advertiser's website.

Cost per click was more common in the early days of affiliate marketing, but has diminished in use over time due to click fraud issues very similar to the click fraud issues modern search engines are facing today. Contextual advertising programs are not considered in the statistic pertaining to diminished use of cost per click, as it is uncertain if contextual advertising can be considered affiliate marketing.

While these models have diminished in mature e-commerce and online advertising markets they are still prevalent in some more nascent industries. China is one example where Affiliate Marketing does not overtly resemble the same model in the West. With many affiliates being paid a flat "Cost Per Day" with some networks offering Cost Per Click or CPM.

Performance marketing

In the case of cost per mille/click, the publisher is not concerned about a visitor being a member of the audience that the advertiser tries to attract and is able to convert, because at this point the publisher has already earned his commission. This leaves the greater, and, in case of cost per mille, the full risk and loss (if the visitor can not be converted) to the advertiser.

Cost per action/sale methods require that referred visitors do more than visit the advertiser's website before the affiliate receives commission. The advertiser must convert that visitor first. It is in the best interest for the affiliate to send the most closely targeted traffic to the advertiser as possible to increase the chance of a conversion. The risk and loss is shared between the affiliate and the advertiser.

Affiliate marketing is also called "performance marketing", in reference to how sales employees are typically being compensated. Such employees are typically paid a commission for each sale they close, and sometimes are paid performance incentives for exceeding targeted baselines. Affiliates are not employed by the advertiser whose products or services they promote, but the compensation models applied to affiliate marketing are very similar to the ones used for people in the advertisers' internal sales department.

The phrase, "Affiliates are an extended sales force for your business", which is often used to explain affiliate marketing, is not completely accurate. The primary difference between the two is that affiliate marketers provide little if any influence on a possible prospect in the conversion process once that prospect is directed to the advertiser's website. The sales team of the advertiser, however, does have the control and influence up to the point where the prospect signs the contract or completes the purchase.

Bagaimana pula dengan peserta yang lain?

Kebanyakkan masih tidak dapat menangkap apa yang cuba disampaikan serta mengalami masalah untuk memahami bahagian-bahagian teknikal seperti HTML, CSS dan banyak lagi.

Namun begitu, apa yang ingin saya jelaskan di sini bukanlah kegagalan penganjur.

Kerana modul mereka lengkap (langkah demi langkah) dan sesi bengkel tersebut dijalankan selama 8 jam.

Tetapi faktor yang membawa kepada kegagalan peserta iaitu...

SUKAR UNTUK MEMAHAMI PERKARA TEKNIKAL

Jika anda mengalami masalah yang sama, saya amat sarankan agar menggunakan sistem CMS minisite yang direka oleh mereka.

Historic development

Affiliate marketing has grown quickly since its inception. The e-commerce website, viewed as a marketing toy in the early days of the Internet, became an integrated part of the overall business plan and in some cases grew to a bigger business than the existing offline business. 

According to one report, the total sales amount generated through affiliate networks in 2006 was £2.16 billion in theUnited Kingdom alone. The estimates were £1.35 billion in sales in 2005. 

MarketingSherpa's research team estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned US$6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing, and forms of lead generation other than contextual advertising programs.

Currently the most active sectors for affiliate marketing are the adult, gambling, retail industries and file-sharing services. The three sectors expected to experience the greatest growth are the mobile phone, finance, and travel sectors. Soon after these sectors came the entertainment (particularly gaming) and Internet-related services (particularly broadband) sectors. 

Also several of the affiliate solution providers expect to see increased interest from business-to-business marketers and advertisers in using affiliate marketing as part of their mix.

Salam 1Malaysia,

Jika anda merupakan usahawan internet, saya pasti anda tahu betapa pentingnya penggunaan minisite bagi menghasilkan jualan.

Namun begitu, ramai yang menghadapi masalah untuk membina minisite kerana mereka tidak mengetahui perkara asas seperti.

# HTML dan CSS

Buat pengetahuan anda, asas pembinaan minisite bergantung pada pemahaman tentang HTML dan CSS.

Walaupun ramai yang sedar tentang perkara ini, namun hanya segelintir orang sahaja yang dapat membina minisite mereka sendiri.

Bagaimana pula dengan yang lain?

Mereka terpaksa melaburkan wang sebanyak RM100 hingga RM300 untuk mengupah pereka laman web untuk menyediakan minisite.

Berita buruknya, kebanyakkan pereka minisite ini tidak akan membantu dalam bahagian teknikal yang lain seperti pemasangan dan proses muat naik minisite.

Sekali lagi anda dalam dilema...

Sebab itu berani saya katakan bahawa 95% usahawan internet gagal kerana mereka tidak mempunyai kemahiran asas berkenaan laman web.

Bagaimana untuk anda mengekang masalah ini?

Buat pengetahuan anda, kita semua bernasib baik kerana terdapat golongan usahawan yang mempunyai inisiatif untuk mencipta sebuah sistem.

Sistem yang dapat membantu mereka yang ZERO' dalam pembinaan minisite.

Jika anda ingin tahu maklumat lanjut, boleh klik pada salah satu banner dalam posting ini.

Secara peribadi, saya amat syorkan sistem ini jika anda ingin menjimatkan masa, wang dan tenaga bagi mencipta minisite.

Jumpa lagi.

Affiliate History - Origin

Origin 

The concept of revenue sharing—paying commission for referred business—predates affiliate marketing and the Internet. The translation of the revenue share principles to mainstream e-commerce happened in November 1994, almost four years after the origination of the World Wide Web. 

Cybererotica was among the early innovators in affiliate marketing with a cost per click program. 

During November 1994, CDNOW launched its BuyWeb program. CDNOW had the idea that music-oriented websites could review or list albums on their pages that their visitors may be interested in purchasing. 

These websites could also offer a link that would take the visitor directly to CDNOW to purchase the albums. The idea for remote purchasing originally arose because of conversations with music label Geffen Records in the fall of 1994. 

The management at Geffen wanted to sell its artists' CDs directly from its website, but did not want to implement this capability itself. Geffen asked CDNOW if it could design a program where CDNOW would handle the order fulfillment. Geffen realized that CDNOW could link directly from the artist on its website to Geffen's website, bypassing the CDNOW home page and going directly to an artist's music page. 

Amazon.com (Amazon) launched its associate program in July 1996: Amazon associates could place banner or text links on their site for individual books, or link directly to the Amazon home page. 

When visitors clicked from the associate's website through to Amazon and purchased a book, the associate received a commission. Amazon was not the first merchant to offer an affiliate program, but its program was the first to become widely known and serve as a model for subsequent programs. 

In February 2000, Amazon announced that it had been granted a patent on components of an affiliate program. The patent application was submitted in June 1997, which predates most affiliate programs, but not PC Flowers & Gifts.com (October 1994), AutoWeb.com (October 1995), Kbkids.com/BrainPlay.com (January 1996), EPage (April 1996), and several others.

Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. 

The industry has four core players: the merchant (also known as 'retailer' or 'brand'), the network (that contains offers for the affiliate to choose from and also takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. 

The market has grown in complexity to warrant a secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. 

Those methods include organic search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC - Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing, and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques, such as publishing fake reviews of products or services offered by a partner.

Affiliate marketing is commonly confused with referral marketing, as both forms of marketing use third parties to drive sales to the retailer. 

However, both are distinct forms of marketing and the main difference between them is that affiliate marketing relies purely on financial motivations to drive sales while referral marketing relies on trust and personal relationships to drive sales.

Affiliate marketing is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. 

Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.

==================================================

Affiliate marketing adalah satu amalan pemasaran di mana perkongsian ganjaran bagi satu atau lebih rakan kongsi bagi setiap pengunjung atau pelanggan yang dibawa oleh usaha pemasaran sendiri seseorang affiliater.

Industri ini mempunyai empat pemain utama: saudagar (juga dikenali sebagai 'peruncit' atau 'jenama'), rangkaian (yang mengandungi tawaran untuk affiliate untuk dipilih dan juga mengurus bayaran komisen), penerbit (juga dikenali sebagai 'affiliate '), dan pelanggan.

Pasaran telah berkembang secara kompleks untuk mewajarkan peringkat menengah affiliater, termasuk agensi pengurusan affiliate, super-affiliate dan vendor pihak ketiga prfesional.

Pertindihan pemasaran affiliate dengan kaedah pemasaran yang lain di Internet ke tahap yang tertentu, kerana affiliate sering menggunakan kaedah pengiklanan biasa.

Mereka kaedah termasuk pengoptimuman enjin carian organik (SEO), pemasaran enjin carian yang dibayar (PPC - Bayar Per Click), pemasaran e-mel, dan dalam beberapa pengiklanan paparan adsense. Sebaliknya, affiliter kadang-kadang menggunakan teknik kurang ortodoks, seperti menerbitkan ulasan palsu produk atau perkhidmatan yang ditawarkan oleh rakan kongsi.

Affiliate marketing sering dikelirukan dengan pemasaran rujukan, kerana kedua-dua bentuk pemasaran menggunakan pihak ketiga untuk memacu jualan untuk peruncit.

Walau bagaimanapun, kedua-duanya adalah bentuk pemasaran yang berbeza dan perbezaan utama di antara mereka adalah bahawa pemasaran affiliate bergantung semata-mata kepada motivasi kewangan untuk memacu jualan manakala pemasaran rujukan bergantung kepada kepercayaan dan hubungan peribadi untuk memacu jualan.

Affiliate marketing sering diabaikan oleh pengiklan. Walaupun enjin carian, e-mel, dan sindikasi laman web menguasai banyak perhatian peruncit dalam talian, pemasaran affiliate membawa profil yang jauh lebih rendah.

Walaubagaimanapun, affiliater terus memainkan peranan penting dalam strategi pemasaran e-peruncit.
