Merchant you choose to affiliate with, deals with all phases of the sale: customer acquisition, order management, payment management and delivery of goods. Your task is “only” to help potential customers find a site that sells the product they are looking for. Would be better to say “to convince” potential customers to buy right in the merchant’s site to which you are affiliated with.

How? There are several possibilities more or less effective:

- Insert banner advertisements on your website or in your newsletter.
-Buy contextual advertising in search engines and send visitors directly to the website of the merchant.
-Create content on the product that you intend to sell and insert a link to the site that sells it. For example you can write a review, news, reporting the views of other users, compare it with other products, and specify how much costs in the different sites.

I purposely wrote the various options in order of increasing effectiveness: the banner does not make much, the potential client normally looking for information about the product before purchasing and also hopes to find the site with the lowest price. Internet allows you to switch quickly from one site to another in search of information. For this reason, the credibility of your site is essential reading your pages the user has to think: “I’m in the right place. I’m going from here to decide what and where to buy.”
