Affiliate Marketing 101
In case you're new in affiliate marketing. Here's a quick overview to help you get up to speed:
Affiliate marketing is a widely utilized strategy in which individuals are paid for the promotion of a company's products or services. Essentially, when a sale occurs through their specific referral link an affiliate marketer (or simply affiliate) gets a percentage from the vendor.
This technique of marketing provides a number of benefits for membership and websites that sell e-commerce:
- Affiliate marketing is a method of earning money, and the only time you have to pay is after a purchase has been completed. This makes it an extremely low-risk cost-effective way to increase your member base without having the upfront costs associated by traditional methods of advertising.
- Performance-based design is also a reason why it's very scalable and suitable for membership-based websites in any phase of development. When your membership base expands exponentially you won't have to deal with a corresponding increase in marketing effort or cost.
- Affiliates, especially those who are well-aligned with your site's purpose, will be able to reach specific, niche groups. Run a soccer club fanzine or even a vegan cooking class? The niche affiliates you have are the best people to spread information about your business. And with them on side the marketing campaigns are extremely focused, attracting members that are more likely to interact in your website's content and the community.
- Unlike one-time ad campaigns, affiliate marketing is an continuous promotion of your membership site. Continuous exposure keeps your website top of mind and draws new members as time passes.

Integrations can be enabled either during Easy Affiliate's setup wizard process, or by heading to Easy Affiliate Settings > Options and then the eCommerce tab.
It really is very simpleto connect affiliate programs to products and services you market through your site.
Screen For High Quality Excellent Affiliates
The idea of opening your affiliate program open to all might be an ideal idea. However, in the world of affiliate marketing, volume isn't always the same as high-quality.
Research shows the fact that less than 10% of affiliates account for more than 90% of all conversions and sales. This underscores the importance of focusing on recruiting and working with best performers.
Accepting all applicants could divert time and resources away to building connections with affiliates of high quality. It is possible to be overwhelmed with queries and support issues from a large number of applicants, instead of concentrating on those who truly drive the results.
In order to ensure you get a higher ROI, it's advisable to manually review and approve new affiliates, verifying that their target market is compatible with the market you want to target.
Easy Affiliate streamlines this process with its built-in application and approval system. This is how you can install it:
Navigate to the settings of Easy Affiliate, then click Affiliates and select"Application" as the type of registration.
From here, you can opt to mail emails to applicants informing them that their application has been accepted and approved.
After you've chosen the type of registration and Easy Affiliate will automatically design the registration page. Your prospective affiliates will then be required to complete an application form. They'll need the approval of your company before they can start promoting your products.
The form requests essential information, including:
- First name
- Name of last name
- Websites they plan to use as a means of promotion
- The strategy they use to promote their products
- Social media profiles/links
The detailed data allows users to evaluate each applicant's potential fit to your company. In requiring applicants to provide their promotional websites you also enables Easy Affiliate to monitor and identify fraudulent actions by flagging unauthorized site promotions - more on that later.

"We've tested a few different membership tools which were part of packages that we'd made a commitment to. However, there's nothing that can beat Member. I know that there's plenty of amazing stuff out there that people have been building through the years. However, when it comes to customization, if you use WordPress, you can't touch this. Of course, I'm biased, but we've made millions through this product."
