Pay per lead affiliate marketing programs
Filed under: Affiliate marketing by Sasha on July 26, 2007
In my last post I’ve said that my favorite affiliate marketing programs are those which pay per lead. Today I want to explain what it means.
Pay per lead affiliate marketing programs are the best way to start doing affiliate marketing since they pay you for leading future customers. With pay per lead programs you don’t sell any product, not at first sight anyway. The one thing that makes pay per lead affiliate programs stand out is the 99% of them offer something free. It could be a free domain name, free services, free advice, free eBooks etc.
To be successful with pay per lead affiliate programs you need to drive a lot of highly targeted traffic as with any other form of online business but you also need to do something that will drive action, something that will make your visitor click on that affiliate link of yours. The word “free” makes everyone curious but as internet grows people are getting more and more scammed so they don’t trust the word free anymore.
If you want to be good at affiliate marketing you need to attract visitors with something new, something bizarre, and something that they will want to click. The best way to find something like that is to experiment a lot until you find the best click through rate.
Remember, to be good you need to experiment.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best methods for online money making. There are a lot of affiliate marketing programs that can help webmasters earn their monthly income. Most affiliate marketing programs are “per sale” based since this is the safest way for affiliate marketers to promote their affiliate products. Per sale means that you get commission every time somebody buys your affiliate product through your affiliate link. I won’t go in much detail here since there will be many more affiliate marketing articles from me.
Affiliate marketing programs that I prefer are “per lead” programs which means that I get paid when somebody registers for something that is free. Usually it means filling a form or maybe joining a forum… Pay per lead affiliate marketing programs are very good for young webmasters since they look like free money. Of course this is not true since you really have to have a lot of highly targeted traffic in order to make a lot of conversions.
To be successful with affiliate marketing programs you need to find the product that fits your website in such a way that visitors just have to click on that link a buy that product. An example would be a marketing blog selling eBooks about online marketing.
If you haven’t tried affiliate marketing I suggest that you do since it could make you rich or at least it will make you learn more about affiliate marketing.
