FAQs
What is an Affiliate or Affiliate Marketer? An affiliate marketer is a person or company which has an arrangement between an online merchant and themselves, in which the affiliate earns a commission for promoting or reviewing the merchant's website and/or products for the purpose of generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.
Why do online merchants need affiliates? Merchants are faced with ever increasing advertising costs to build their brand and meet the challenge of many competitors within their market. In order to generate profitable sales, online merchants need a great deal of traffic (prospective customers) that can find and shop on their websites, and hopefully make a purchase. People shopping the internet for products and services do so by using the search engines. The affiliate marketer helps improve the merchant's position in search engines by publishing high quality, relevant, interesting and honest commentary to the web about the merchant's products or services. The affilitate also provides convenient links for their readers to go to the merchants' sites. To be successful at this, the affiliate must put in considerable time and expense for which the merchant is willing to compensate the affiliate.
Can a person really make money as an affiliate marketer? Absolutely, provided that the person is willing to work hard and publish very high quality content on their websites, blogs and reviews. This is not an industry for the lazy or anyone seeking to get rich quick. There are numerous learning curves everyone must go through to succeed at affiliate marketing. Most who attempt it fail or give up within the first 6 to12 months because they simply aren't up to the challenges and costs of succeeding. Today, almost every successful large, small or mid-level online merchant has an affiliate program. The rewards can be excellent for those who are willing meet the challenges and put in the effort .
So what opportunities are out there to become an affiliate? The very first thing a new affiliate marketer should consider is finding online merchants who offer products and services in niches which are of particular interest to the affiliate. Everything that people are involved in is a niche, consequently there are hundreds of thousands of niches. The possibilities are virtually endless. The affiliate's task is to find the niche(s) they enjoy and are comfortable in promoting. There are affiliate networks such as Commission Junction and Linkshare which exist solely for the purpose of bringing merchants and affiliates together.
If I click a link or ad on this website are you then paid a commission? The owners of BigSkyMarketing.net are not paid a commission when someone simply clicks a link on this site and landing on a particular merchant's site. A commission will be paid only if the person likes the product or service offered by the advertised merchant and freely decides to make a purchase.
How do I get my money back if I buy from a merchant you've promoted and I don't like the product? All purchases made from merchants that we promote are strictly between the customer (you) and the merchant. Every merchant has their own return policy and it is the customer's responsibility to read and understand those policies. Should you buy a product or service from one of our affiliated merchants and decide later you don't want it for any reason, then simply contact the merchant as per their refund policy.
