You Could Be Losing Money As An Affiliate Marketer
Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online. You could either take the approach of setting up your own website with your own domain and hosting. Or you could set up a free blog. These are only two examples. There are many other ways to promote affiliate products, but we won't get into that. whichever way you choose you can sell products as an affiliate. If you're not familiar with affiliate marketing it's when a company wants to expand their sales by letting other people pre-sell their product. If there's a sale, then they give the affiliate a commission.
The great thing about being an affiliate marketer is that you don't have to have any products on hand, or deal with customer service. People are making a lot of money with affiliate marketing online. Especially with information products (also known as ebooks). There are great affiliate managers out there. All you have to do is sign up, and they'll give you a personalized link to keep track of your visitors and sales. Then all you do is whenever you post on your blog, or write about relevant topics you promote the product with the affiliate link.
Now with affiliate marketing becoming popular, people are beginning to realize that other people monetize off those links. These people then type in the link without using the affiliate link. I have no idea why anyone has a problem with others monetizing off your clicks to a product that they're going to buy anyways. It's not like it's going to cost them anymore money. You provided them with the information, and resources of the product, why not give you some credit. There's a way around this. It's a method of hiding your affiliate link. You can only use this method if you are using your own hosting. Here's how you do it. In your file manager, create a new html page. Name it relevant to your product that you're promoting. Now in the file use the coding from the following website.

Once you have put the coding in the file, you'll want to save it like it is, as an html file. All that this code does is when someone types in your personalized address the coding in the html file tells people "Go to this page. We'll redirect you there." That's exactly what it does too. It redirects them to your affiliate link. Whenever someone clicks on the link they won't know it's an affiliate link, but when they reach the product page it will most likely change the affiliate link to the original domain. Now of course they could go in their internet files, and delete their cookie files (that's how affiliate managers keep track of your visitors), but there's no way of stopping these people. It's not worth the time worrying about people who are going to take out your affiliate link or cookie from their computer, because these people planned to give you nothing in the first place, and that's all you'll get from them. It's best to be optimistic on the people who are going to use your affiliate link, and bring you a commission.
