       Edapted Translation: A sales method allowing you to make commissions on the sale of other business’s products. Essentially, you are their liaison to your niche market. Since it is not possible for them to reach all audiences across the entire internet, they pay you to send them prospective customers.  Commissions are paid only when a prospective customer purchases their product.  Representing quality products on your website is absolutely no different than selling a quality product in a retail store.  For example, this is how we fund the operational costs to provide you with edaptedstudents.com.

       Affiliate marketing is new in the sense that it is now fully digitized. However, the core concepts have existed since the beginnings of business itself. For instance, selling magazines door to door qualifies you as a magazine affiliate. The more magazines you sell, the more commissions you make. The same holds true for selling products online. You will be compensated via a set commission, based on how many products you sell as a company affiliate. Essentially, you are selling something door-to-door, but instead you’re doing it online.  It’s now “computer to computer.” You are completely digitizing your sales approach. This leads to sales beyond your wildest expectations. Why? The Internet is a global marketplace. You need to take advantage of the internet as your sales medium. It allows countless visitors to potentially purchase affiliate products sold on your site. Selling online allows you to make exponentially more sales.

       Conversion rates are important on the Internet but are greatly overshadowed by the volume of your sales. For example: If 100 out of 1000 people purchase your affiliate product you have a conversion rate of 10%. Selling the same product door to door has landed you 50 sales out of 100 prospective customers. WOW! You and your little red wagon have a conversion rate of 50%! Actually, I am going to take that WOW back. You only sold 50 magazines compared to the online affiliate's 100. What is even more impressive is that all the online affiliate had to do was set up a website and let the customers come to him. The door salesman added value to his customers experience via a personal sales approach. The online affiliate added value via convenience. The most successful online sites combine both value and convenience to build a competitive advantage.

       This new market will explode over the next few years.  You cannot afford to miss out on this incredible opportunity!
