What Is Affiliate Marketing?

If you’re brand new to marketing on the internet, you may have never heard of affiliate marketing before.  Affiliate marketing is an Internet-based method in which a business pays their affiliates for each customer that is referred by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

Affiliate marketing coincides with other Internet marketing methods because affiliates often use traditional advertising methods. This can include email marketing, placing ads on a web page, organic search engine optimization, or paid search engine marketing using a program like Google Adwords. There are many other ways to market a product as an affiliate, and you can learn about some of them here: Marketing 101.

Many affiliate programs, including the Burn The Fat Affiliate Program, are generally pay-per-sale marketing programs for products or services, based on the concept of revenue sharing.  Every time you refer someone to our site, which results in a purchase, you will be credited with a commission for that sale.

In layman’s terms, by becoming an affiliate of Burn the Fat, you become an online salesperson working on a commission basis.  You’re not actually an employee of our company, but an independent contractor.  One of the best things about affiliate marketing is that the entire sales process is our job, not yours.  If you help us by introducing qualified, prospective customers, we’ll help you close the sale with our hugely successful sales process. 

For being an affiliate of Burn the Fat, our vendor Clickbank, will pay you a cut of our profits on a commission basis for any and all sales you create for us through the introduction of new customers through your customized affiliate hoplink.  If you have a website already, you’re off to a good start with your potential as an affiliate marketer.  If you have an e-mail newsletter list of qualified, prospective customers, you’re at a huge advantage.  However, if you don’t have a website or a newsletter, don’t fret – there are still ways to make money with affiliate marketing immediately. 

The reason that affiliate programs are so lucrative and popular for online businesses is because they are very easy to operate, especially for the affiliates.  Burn The Fat provides plentiful, high quality content and other marketing materials for you.  We make selling as easy for you as we can by giving you reprintable content, specialized images and graphics, and as much personal assistance as possible.  You can just copy and paste our materials onto your website or into your e-mail newsletter, or they can serve as examples to help you find ways to personalize your promotions.

The Burn The Fat Affiliate Program offers a 56% commission on all sales you provide for us.  With our Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle ebook selling for $39 and $59 (basic and deluxe packages respectively), your commission comes out to a little over $20 or $30 per sale!

Our affiliate program benefits us with increased sales and increased customers and it offers you, a supplementary income with very little work on your part.
