Major Types of Affiliate
Programs
* Pay Per Click * Pay Per Sale * Pay Per Lead
Pay Per Click: This type of advertising was quite popular a many years back but with a few
exceptions has basically vanished from the face of the earth. Sure you can find some companies who will still pay you by this method. Many search engines use
this method to gain more visitors to their site.
How does it work?
Usually
this works off a banner or link system. Just as it sounds, for each unique visitor the company receives from the visitor clicking on your link, they will pay
you a set amount. Some pay upwards of a $1.00 while others may pay only $.04.
Although, this may not sound like much, when you have thousands of
people clicking on your links, you can acquire quite a large commission check. The company is in jeopardy if their site does not convert well ie, does not
make any money from the actual visitor.
Pay Per Sale: This is by far the most
popular type of affiliate programs and the one Africa Point is concentrating its efforts on. Basically, you pay affiliates only when they produce a sale for
you.
How does it work?
This system is rather simple. The affiliate
utilizes banners or text links with which they can advertise from their website or online newsletters. Unlike the previous example, when a person clicks on
the affiliate's link the affiliate earns nothing. Only when a person has purchased a product or a service will the affiliate earn a commission.
You
can have one tier or two tier affiliate programs. One tier pays only the referring affiliate for the sale. A two tier system pays the referring affiliate and
also the affiliate who has referred the referring affiliate to you. Africa Point affiliate program is based on the one tier system.
Pay Per Impression In this type of system you get paid for simply displaying a banner on your
website. Each time the banner loads, you get paid.
How does it work?
You
host a banner at your site or sites, and the company will pay for every person who simply views it. That means, you get paid just for a pair of eyes looking
at the banner. The person doesn’t need to buy anything or even click through the link.
