Q. Am I an Affiliate/Publisher or a Merchant/Advertiser?
 
A. Sometimes, this isn’t a straightforward answer, but in general, if you own a website or a blog and would like to earn money by promoting the products or services of an advertiser (often these are called “merchants”) in return for a monetary commission on the leads or sales you generate then  you are a publisher (also called an “affiliate”).  If you have a website or run a company that sells a product or service online, takes payments, fulfils and delivers orders, and would like other websites to advertise and promote your company and products, then you are an advertiser (a.k.a  merchant). 
 
Q. Will Affiliate Marketing Help Me Acquire New Customers?
 
A. YES.  Affiliate Marketing is a fantastic way of acquiring new customers at a significantly lower cost than any other marketing channel becuase you set the price you wish to pay for that customer.  Affiliate marketing is a true, performance-based marketing channel and as such is a very cost-effective way to find valuable new customers on a performance basis.
 
Q. Will Affiliate Marketing Help Me Increase Revenue?
 
A. YES.  Affiliate Marketing is a powerful way to generate and increase sales through broadening your company’s exposure online, this leads to additional traffic and with more traffic you will generally generate additional sales through your website. Affiliate Marketing is a performance-based marketing channel.  This means you only pay a commission or fee to a publisher when the customer whom they have referred has completed a commissionable action.  This can be a percentage of a sale or completed registration or lead form.
