How to earn money by “Affiliate Program”

Hello guys !!!!

Today I am going to tell you how you can earn money online by “Affiliate Program”.

This post is specially for those people who have their website or blog and want to earn extra money besides adsense and other adds. This method is very beneficial and no investment is required. You can earn great amount by this affiliate program.

You might have seen many online shopping websites and online travelling websites. Example flipkart.com , jabong.com, amazon.com, myntra.com, yatra.com, makemytrip.com etc. So these websites offer a program 

called “affiliate program”.

What is Affliate program?

Affliate program is a great method to earn commissions by simply displaying banners or links on your blog or website to refer users to a particular website like flipkart or amazon etc. If the user buys the product from that website you can earn lot of commissions say 10-20% of the product or even more.

How it works?

Let’s take the example of flipkart.com, if user buys the product of say 10,000 rupees you get 10% (depending on product he buys ) of it to your account. So in this case you earn a profit of 1000 rupees without any kind of pain. Now you can either transfer this to your business accounts say paypal etc or you can buy products worth 1000 from that website for free. So you can easily earn without any kind of pain. For flipkart maximum you can earn is 15%.

Similar procedure is for online travelling websites like makemytrip.com etc.

How to become an “affiliate”?

Here I am taking the example of FLIPKART.com.

Similarly you can become affiliate of other websites too.

Step 1 : Go to flipkart.com. Go to the bottom of the home page. There you will see the affiliate option like this:

Now just click that link.

Step 2 : Now you should signup to become affiliate.

Step 3: Now after you register just verify the email and now you come to this home page:

Step 4 : Now click on the options under the Affiliate tools. Go to any one of the page and just select the widgets or banners of your convenient size that you will display on your website or blog and select the option get code. Now the code of that banner will appear and you can paste that code on your website to display them.

Step 5 : Now whenever someone will buy any product using your banner you will get commission upto 15%. It will appear like this:

The commission rates vary from product to product. Currently the flipkart offers following commission rates.

I have discussed the example of flipkart , similar case is applicable to all the other websites.

Hope you are able to understand it properly.For any doubts you can leave the comments or you can visit the official websites.For flipkart it is : www.flipkart.com/affiliate

There are many websites that earn lot of money by this process. Example of the website that displays the affiliate adds is :  http://www.indianrailwayshelp.in

Tip : You should display the product that suits your blog or website. This can increase the chances of user to buy the product. Like a website dealing with the information related to mobiles or laptops should display the banners of mobiles and laptops. So in this way user can buy it directly from that link.

So Happy Earning and good luck !!!!
