Affiliate Marketing Definition

As per SmartBlogger Affiliate Marketing is:


“The practice of promoting other companies’ products in consideration for a commission on the resulting sale, leads, link clicked, or page visits. Affiliate marketers join affiliate programs, find affiliate products to promote, and then share those products with their audiences.”

As an equestrian affiliate marketer, you can promote products from many different companies & earn commissions from all of them.

As an equestrian or equine affiliate marketer, you’re an independent contractor or salesperson helping an equestrian company make more sales through publishing content on the internet.

In short, it’s getting a commission on each sale you make through your content.

To make sales, equestrian or equine content creators & publishers build a raving fans type of audience to whom they can promote these affiliate offers, to help equestrians (or their audience) get what they want or solve their problems.

Ideally, help equestrians get specific things they want & daydream about in the morning or solve stressing problems that keep them up at night. 

So it’s a fast & easy way to sell other people’s or companies’ products or services without having to create it yourself.

It’s a simple way to test ideas by finding a product or service that you like & tried yourself, promote it to your audience & make profits on the sales you make.

Affiliate partners can help you build additional streams of revenue for your business. This can also help you diversify in different regions, client segments & vertical markets.

How Do Affiliate Marketing Programs Work?

Merchant’s affiliate program software makes life easier for all the stakeholders involved in the process.

The process goes something like this:

  • A producer of a product or service joins a merchant’s program or creates his own.
  • When a promoter joins that program, he becomes an affiliate partner to the producer. 
  • The affiliate partner is then given a specific link for promoting the producer’s product.
  • The affiliates include the links in their content for readers to click it to discover more.
  • When a reader clicks the link, a cookie is placed on their internet browsers.
  • The cookie ensures that the promoter is credited with a commission if the reader buys.

Producers make reports available so that affiliates can see the clicks & sales their audience has generated.

The merchant pays the affiliate commission at the end of each payment period (i.e. revenue sharing).

Payment periods vary from a month to a few months. Depending on the refund policy. Producers want to ensure they only pay commissions for sales that are final and not still subject to refunds.

This process or workflow works the same way regardless of what kind of product or service you’re promoting.

However, I like to consider affiliate commissions as icing on the cake rather than my main bread & butter. 


Here’s An Example Of Why This Can Hurt:

On April 14th, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, Amazon ripped the rug out from underneath millions of their affiliate partners.

Amazon took a machete at affiliate commissions in most categories. In some categories, commissions went down from 10% to 2%.

“This represents a 60%+ drop in some categories!” as per MONEYLAB.

What makes it even worse is that Amazon announced it only seven days before it happened.

Big companies only care about their own interests & profits, not yours.

That’s a good reminder to focus on building your own brand & offers. Not to build on other people’s land that you do not own or control. The good old “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”. Remember that, always...

Don’t rely on one source of revenue especially if you’re not the one who owns or controls it. 

Build several streams of revenue for your business but start one by one. 


Affiliate Marketing Has A Low Barrier To Entry

It’s easy now with the internet to start promoting affiliate offers, but the success bar is high or hard.

Since the producers & all their affiliates are selling the same product, you have to offer something special. You have to craft a unique affiliate offer (“UAO”).

Your UAO is not the product you’re promoting, but the offer in which it is presented. The copy, creative & target audience.

Your UAO can be unique in many ways. You have to be creative & test what resonates better with your audience. Then stick to what works best.

Maybe you target a specific niche. You offer special bonuses that help buyers solve follow up problems that will show up after they make the sale, or simply help them get what they want faster & easier. 

I always find it more profitable & fun to promote products that I’m passionate about, in an upmarket trend & a wide mass of prospects or potential client base to make a low ticket profitable. 

Upselling my own products at the back end with a discount or a limited time offer also played out well in my experience.

That being said, equestrian or equine affiliate marketing to this day, still represents a great way for any equestrian to get started, test ideas & develop their marketing skills.

You can also turn it into an independent affiliate marketing business.

Some people consider affiliate marketing as a passive source of income. I don’t.

I think it requires active work from the part of the affiliate marketer to be successful. 


3 Things You Need To Survive As An Affiliate Marketer

1

1- Use Landing Pages To Promote Your Offers 

According to Unbounce: “A landing page is a standalone web page”. You create it for affiliate marketing so that a visitor “lands” on it for you to collect their contact information. Essentially their names & emails.

Landing pages are designed with a single goal, known as a call to action. This makes landing pages effective for increasing the return on your affiliate campaigns.

2 - Drive Free & Paid Traffic To Your Landing Pages

You can drive free & paid visitors to your landing pages by creating social media posts and/or ads on social media platforms or search engines like Google, YouTube, Facebook, etc…

Create & schedule a few emails, blog & social media posts & Pinterest pins to promote & direct readers to your landing pages.

We use, recommend & believe that ActiveCampaign offers the best value for money now.

3

3 - Create A Freebie To Generate New Prospects

Create content that generates new prospects or leads to your business. Freebies & webinars work pretty well.

A freebie is a valuable resource that is exchanged for your prospect’s contact information (name & email). A webinar is a live or recorded presentation that requires your prospects to register beforehand to access it.

A webinar can also be presented as a 3-part video series.

These 2 types of lead generation resources are called gated content. They live behind an opt-in or registration form.

When you drive traffic directly to these 2 resources, the leads start flowing. You can eventually send these prospects or leads to your affiliate landing pages.

That’s all good but how do you become an affiliate marketer in the first place? 

So now, let’s look at:


How Do You Become An Affiliate Marketer In 4 Easy Steps?

Your 1st step is to choose a single affiliate product to promote & build an audience.

So, is affiliate marketing that simple?

You may ask...

Well, there are some legal compliance rules that you have to know first...

How To Avoid GDPR Fines & Comply With Legal Requirements?

In many countries in North America & EU, the law requires that you tell people that you earn a commission if they buy through your affiliate links.

It’s a best practice & good business ethic even if it isn’t required by law where you reside.

It’s also good marketing & branding. Your audience will appreciate it.

When you share an affiliate link, let your audience know that you may earn a commission if they buy through you without any extra charges on their part.

Rest them assured that you never recommend products if you don’t love them yourself and strongly believe it will help them.

It’s legally recommended that you create an Affiliate Disclaimer page & paragraph to put on the footer of your website, pages & your emails or wherever you share your affiliate links.

Book a free consultation here, If you need any legal help with your affiliate disclaimer, privacy policy, terms & conditions, or legal compliance pages for your website.

You can learn more about your website legal compliance and the legal pages & contracts you need for your equestrian business & website here.

If you’re targeting clients in the EU Region, you’ll need to comply with GDPR. Check out this resource for more info.
