What is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a process where people like you and me earn a commission by promoting a product or service made by another retailer or advertiser using an affiliate link. The affiliate partner has rewarded a payout for providing a specific result to the retailer or advertiser.

Typically, the result is a sale. But some affiliate marketing programs can reward you for leads, free-trial users, clicks to a website, or getting downloads for an app.

We even talked about affiliate marketing earlier when we spoke about investment online business.  You can generate sales for other business owners by using your skills of communication or friend lists.

It will be easy to demonstrate this with an example: Let’s say you are an accountant. You can leverage your client base to sell online ERP software that will help your client’s business.  In fact, our Agency has an affiliate program for our ERP Software called Zemenawi Negade.

Even tho I mentioned accountants, anybody can join our affiliate program to earn a 100% sales commission. You can visit the affiliate program using this link to Zemenawi Negade.

The best thing about our affiliate program you don’t need to invest money to earn your commission. Like I said earlier you can promote the service for your clients or friends who can benefit from the software.
