AFFILIATION MARKETING ch#02

  Types of Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketer Pat Flynn breaks down the different types of affiliate marketers into three groups. Understanding these types of affiliate marketing arrangements can show you the different ways people make money online in this space.

 


1. Unattached affiliate marketing

The first type of affiliate marketing is referred to as “unattached,” or when you have no authority in the niche of the product you’re advertising, i.e., There’s no connection between you and the customer. This often involves running pay-per-click (PPC) advertising campaigns with the affiliate link and hoping people will click it, buy the product, and earn a commission.

Unattached affiliate marketing is attractive because you don’t need to do any legwork. Affiliate marketing businesses rely on reputation and trust with a target audience online. Some affiliate marketers don’t have the time or desire to build those relationships, so this type of marketing is their best option.

“Unattached affiliate marketing isn’t a genuine business model—it’s for people who just want to generate income,” says Elise Dopson, founder of Sprocker Lovers.

 

2. Related affiliate marketing

Related affiliate marketing is the practice of promoting products and services you don’t use but that are related to your niche. An affiliate marketer in this case has an audience, whether it’s through blogging, YouTube, TikTok, or another channel. A related affiliate marketer also has influence, which makes them a trusted source for recommending products, even if they’ve never used them before.

While related affiliate marketing can generate more affiliate income, it comes with the risk of promoting something you’ve never tried before. It could be a poor product or service, and you wouldn’t know. It only takes one bad recommendation to lose the trust of your audience. If you don’t have trust and transparency, it’ll be hard to build a sustainable affiliate marketing business.

 

3. Involved affiliate marketing

Involved affiliate marketing refers to only recommending products and services the affiliate marketer has used and truly believes in. “Involved affiliate marketing is the way forward,” says Elise. “It’s rooted in trust and authenticity, which is best for your audience and business.”

In this type of marketing, an affiliate marketer uses his or her influence to promote products and services that followers may actually need, instead of paying to get clicks on a banner ad. It takes more time to build this type of credibility with an audience, but it’s necessary for building a sustainable business.

        ''How much money do affiliate marketers make''   Most affiliate marketers earn less than $10K per year. That’s according to a survey from Influencer Marketing Hub . Yet, roughly one in six (16.87%) make $50k per year or more. Matt Giovanisci is a good example of a high-earning affiliate. His site, Swim University, made $149,991 affiliate commissions in 2021 . Keep in mind though that these people have done an excellent job building their brand. It’s taken them years of hard work to reach this level. If you’re just starting out, your checks might look more like this for a while: You need to manage your expectations. You won’t earn the big bucks right off the bat, but don’t let this discourage you. The success of others tells you that with hard work, time, and the right knowledge, you too can potentially reach those levels.
