All about Affiliate Marketing

---

Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each customer brought about by the affiliate's own marketing efforts. The industry has four core players: the merchant, the network (which takes care of the payments), the publisher (also known as 'the affiliate'), and the customer. In the market there are secondary tier of players, including affiliate management agencies, super-affiliates and specialized third party vendors.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other Internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include search engine optimization (SEO), paid search engine marketing (PPC - Pay Per Click), e-mail marketing etc.

Affiliate marketing has grown very quickly since its inception. The e-commerce websites, became an integrated part of the overall business plan and in some cases grew to a bigger business than the existing offline business. Currently the most active sectors for affiliate marketing are the adult, gambling, retail industries and file-sharing services. The three sectors expected to experience the greatest growth are the telecom, finance, and travel sectors. Soon after these sectors came the entertainment and Internet-related services sectors.

Websites and services based on Web 2.0 concepts - blogging, for example - have impacted the affiliate marketing world as well. Web 2.0 platforms have also opened affiliate marketing channels to personal bloggers, writers, and independent website owners. Regardless of web traffic, size, or business age, programs allow publishers at all levels of web traffic to place advertisements in blog posts.

The Business Concept

Amidst fierce global competition total revenue from advertising business in 2011 was approximately $400 billion. This is expected to grow up to $600 billion by 2016. Internet advertising has significantly big share in the entire advertisement industry. In 2011 it touched approximately $70 billion and expected to grow fast up to $117 billion in 2016.

As part of this huge advertising industry, United Paycheck is an online advertising network that acts as an intermediary between publishers (affiliates) and merchant affiliate programs around the world. With an extensive online network consisting of hundreds of thousands of publishers and advertisers from across the world we allow unique business opportunity for following three types of entities:

Publishers:

We allow website publishers to more easily find and participate in affiliate programs which are suitable for their website (and thus generate income from those programs).

Merchants:

We allow merchants to reach a larger audience by promoting their affiliate programs to all of the publishers participating in our affiliate network.

Entrepreneurs:

We allow entrepreneurs or common users to participate in our business plan as an advertiser cum publisher. They can earn advertisement revenue (as publishers) from this network at the same time use the advertisement credit points to upload their advertisements (as advertisers).
