Chinese Affiliate Marketing Programs

According to Investopedia: "This system of compensation is based on a simple incentive payoff: the more affiliates a business attracts, the more it can save on advertising costs." Therefore, if you are looking for a quick and easy way to make money online, affiliate marketing may be for you. You sign up with a program that matches your interests and needs, then you start to market their products. You receive a piece of every sale that is generated by you. The program then shares some of the income with you, but you still end up making a profit.

There are many opportunities to use this type of marketing. It is important, though, to understand the different types of marketing available because not all of them will work for your needs. China is a large country that covers a lot of geographical area, so it is not surprising that there are many Chinese affiliate networks. These Chinese networks often sell products directly to customers in the United States and Canada.

The most popular affiliate marketing method used by Chinese companies is called "influencers". Influencers are business owners who have large followings on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media sites. They use these networks to promote products that belong to larger companies that do not spend a great deal of money to advertise on their own. In return, the smaller network gets a percentage of those sales.

Another popular method of affiliate marketing in China is called adware. Adware is a software program that gives merchants a piece of code that allows them to install a small piece of software on the computer of every visitor they send the adware to. This software can track the websites that are opened from the visitors of the adware and can even send emails to users to market to them. These emails may contain a link for more lucrative affiliate programs.

Merchants sometimes have their own affiliate management teams. China has a large number of Internet businesses, and many of them use local affiliate management companies to promote their products on their behalf. Some merchants have hundreds of affiliate programs. These merchants often pay a commission to their affiliate management team when someone makes a purchase or provides information about the product or service through their referral. Other times, they will pay the affiliate management team nothing but the commissions earned from the sales of products that were marketed through their own sites.

A Chinese affiliate marketing manager works with two types of merchants: the merchants that advertise on their own sites and those who advertise on local portals. All the affiliate management teams have a list of merchants they work with. Each month, a new set of merchants are added to the list. When a customer wants to make a purchase, the affiliate manager needs to look at his or her list and find an affiliate manager who can help that person find the merchant who is selling the best product or service. The manager sends the request to the listed merchants, and then the two teams work together to close the deal. If a customer is not satisfied with their purchase, the manager can make a referral to another affiliate manager, or refer the customer to a different vendor.

One of the ways that Chinese affiliates make money through affiliate marketing in China is by paying a fee per mille for a specified number of clicks. This fee varies according to the amount that the advertiser is willing to pay. For example, an advertiser may be willing to pay five cents per mile for one hundred thousand clicks. Another advertiser may be willing to pay one cent per mile for one hundred thousand clicks. The minimum payment per mile is three cents, but this only affects the first ten thousand clicks, which is the most likely to result in profit. In order to make the most money, the advertiser will usually require ten thousand clicks.

To avoid having annoying pop-ups from adware, some affiliate marketing programs will offer a "Banners Only" option, so that when visitors click on the banner links, they are taken to the merchants' websites instead of to the affiliate marketers' websites. However, even when the affiliate marketers have agreed to only display adware on the affiliate websites, sometimes the pop-up advertisements remain active on the website, due to software that sometimes allows the pop-ups to stay active even when the user has left the page. Therefore, it is important for all merchants and users alike to make sure that the pop-up ads are not active when the user leaves a web page, as this can cause much confusion and frustration for users. Some pop-up advertising networks, such as Google AdSense, do include a mechanism that allows the adware to leave the website when the user leaves, but it is best to check the policies of the individual network.
