In affiliate marketing, online merchants pay independent parties — called publishers, to promote their products on the publishers' web sites. The basic steps for becoming a publisher are described here.

Step 1: Determine who your web site visitors are
Determine who visits your web site. If your visitors are interested in cell phones, for example, plan to run affiliate ads for cell phones. 

Tip
Affiliate marketing programs can automatically generate ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. 

Step 2: Capture e-mail addresses
Set up a way to capture visitors’ e-mail addresses on your web site. Using ads in e-mail campaigns is yet another way to earn affiliate marketing revenue.

Tip
Capture e-mail addresses by having a sign-in page, offering special memberships, or having a guest book.

Step 3: Launch multiple web sites
Launch more than one web site. The more traffic you attract, the greater the amount of affiliate marketing revenue you stand to earn.

Step 4: Keep your web site current
Keep the content on your web sites current and accurate in order to keep visitors coming.

Step 5: Sign up with an affiliate marketing program
Sign up with an affiliate marketing program. These programs, which are listed in online affiliate program directories, supply ads for nearly every imaginable business. 

Did You Know?
Did you know? Major internet retailers earn as much as 2 percent of their revenue through tie-ins with other web sites.
