Affiliate marketing originated in the 1990s with CDNOW, who made the idea of click-through purchasing a popular marketing method. Amazon took advantage of this new concept in marketing in 1996 and now has hundreds of thousands of affiliates all over the world selling and promoting their merchandise.
Setting up an affiliate program is time consuming but worthwhile as, utilised correctly, affiliates are free salespeople in effect. You only pay an affiliate when they have made a sale which means you don't pay till you have made a profit. Using other methods of advertising such as Pay Per Click can take time to perfect and you pay each time someone clicks on your ad, which won't necessarily result in a sale.
Because your affiliates are promoting your products and services it is advisable to look after them with up-to-date promotional tools and banners, a reasonable percentage of your profits in return for a sale and to pay them on time. Creating an effective affiliate marketing campaign that keeps your affiliate network happy and performing consistently is an essential task. Without an effective affiliate network you won't make any sales and therefore your profit will decrease.

We are also experienced in the management of affiliate networks and will recruit and train some of the best affiliates in the world of affiliate marketing.
