In this affiliate marketing presentation pdf I’m going to walk you through the basics of affiliate marketing and how to get the most from your own affiliate business.
Affiliate marketing is a business model in which the referrer (affiliate) earns commissions by referring sales to existing products, services and brands. Affiliates don’t have to own products themselves or even fulfil on the product delivery. This is all handled by the product owner. An affiliate simply recommends a product in order to earn commissions from their referrals.
To get started with affiliate marketing, you find a program and sign up. You then get access to your unique affiliate I.D. and link. Promote your affiliate link and earn commissions based on sales you generate. There’s thousands of affiliate products you can promote as an affiliate marketer. As an example, Amazon has an affiliate program. Anyone can sign up to Amazon’s partner program and promote any of thousands of products available from the site.
Affiliate Marketing Presentation PDF – Commissions
Not every affiliate program pays the same so it can be wise to do some research to determine the best kinds of products to promote. Amazon for example pays between 1% and 11% on their affiliates sales. But typically, (for most of their product range) they will pay between 3% and 10%. See Amazon affiliate marketing commission.
Despite this being fairly low compared to other affiliate marketing commission rates, Amazon does offer a unique advantage. When someone buys through your affiliate link on Amazon, and then they also fill their cart with other products, you can earn commissions on those product sales too! This can stack up, particularly if they are doing their Christmas shopping, for example and buy a lot of products at once!
Another form of commissions which affiliates can earn is recurring commissions! Recurring commission affiliate products are typically those which offer ongoing value such as software products, memberships and tools for online businesses. One such product is Aweber which offers a recurring income affiliate program.
Recurring commission affiliate programs offer some of the best potential for affiliates because you can earn an ongoing income from each and every sale you make. This can soon add up and compound over time. With one-off commissions you need to keep making sales in order to keep getting paid. With recurring commissions sales add up to monthly income rather than stand alone commissions!
Aweber, for example pays 30% commission for product referrals month in month out.
Affiliate Marketing Presentation PDF – Digital Vs. Physical + High Ticket Products
As you can see with the above example, a digital software product pays out a much larger percentage of the sale value to affiliate marketers than physical products to.
Typically a physical product sale will earn an affiliate between 5% and 10% in commission. In contrast, a digital product will pay between 30% and 40% commission on average, with certain products paying even more!
High ticket affiliate products too are worth considering for affiliates to promote. A typical high ticket product will pay out much larger commissions for affiliates because it carries a larger price tag. As such you can earn much larger commissions from high ticket products.
Although many beginner affiliates believe that high value products will be harder to sell online, this isn’t really true.
When you understand how to market online, and which customers to target with your advertising, it’s far easier to promote high value products than low value ones. The same amount of work can also make you much larger commissions and you don’t have to sell as many items to make more income! Selling high value items is a smart way to work as an affiliate.
Examples Of High Ticket Items
Here’s an example of a few high ticket items you can promote as an affiliate marketer. The mixed martial arts trainer sells for $7000 and pays out $560 in commissions for referrals.
Here’s another product: the exercise spa! This product sells for $10,000 and gives affiliates an $800 commission on any sales they generate!
Here’s another high value affiliate product, again in the exercise niche.
The climbing wall treadmill sells for $9,950 and pays affiliates a commission of $800 per sale.
Here’s another high ticket product – the amphibious sub surface watercraft or submarine! This product sells for $300,000 and offers a $24,000 commission! Whatever you may think about such high priced products, there are people who buy them and as an affiliate you can promote globally to pretty much anyone. So why not promote the products which pay out the most?!
Promoting Affiliate Products
The key ingredient in affiliate marketing success is successful promotion of affiliate products. Affiliate marketing is a creative industry and there’s many ways you can attract an audience online and sell other people’s products. Here’s just a few strategies which affiliate marketers use to sell affiliate products:
- Blogging
- Email marketing
- PPC – pay per click advertising
- SEO – search engine optimisation
- Social media marketing – paid and organic strategies
- Video marketing – using platforms such as YouTube and TikTok
One of the best ways to earn from affiliate marketing is to combine the three types of affiliate products:

- S – Subscription commissions – earn ongoing commissions from subscriptions, software and membership
- HT – High Ticket products – pay over $500 per sale in commissions
