Then Emeka came to me and said
"If I get a buyer to buy this your car, how much will you pay me?"
"well, I sell this my car at the rate of 1million naira so if you get a buyer to buy this car, I'll give you 10% of the 1million" I told Emeka
So now, I own a car, I'm a car dealer and Emeka must have had a friend who wants/can buy a car.
Probably on his WhatsApp contact list So he took some nice pictures of the car and posted it on his WhatsApp status.
One of his WhatsApp contact saw the car on Emeka's status.
Indicated interest and asked Emeka about the car and after some back and forth, back and forth negotiations, the man finally bought the car.
I confirmed the transaction and the man left with his car.
Note: If you've followed my posts lately, I promised to explain this affiliate marketing business in details.
So you don't get mislead or confused Probably you've done affiliate marketing before
Or you've been doing it just that the difference is that you haven't been paid or you've been paid.
So the word "affiliate marketing" is just English.
Let's go into the business of the day.
Listen carefully here while I explain affiliate marketing in a way that even your five year old Nephew or Niece will understand.
Now Listen to this part.
Emeka is not the owner of the car, I'm the owner and I confirmed the transactions i. e the payment while he is the person that sold the car.
Now I will have to pay Emeka the 10% of the 1million which is 100k right?
Yes.
What Emeka did here is affiliate marketing Just connecting that buyer to me the car owner.
In this case there are three people that are happy.
First, I'm happy, I successfully sold my car. Secondly, the buyer who now is my customer, left with his car happily.
Then Emeka gets his 100k just by bringing a buyer to buy my car.
Another real life example is the agent who took you around the area you live now, to show you different self content or flats so you make your choice.
And when you finally made your choice of the house and then paid the landlord your first house rent.
Shea the agent got some money right?
Probably from you or your current landlord. What that agent did was affiliate marketing just connecting you with your landlord.
In that instance, you were the buyer, your landlord was the seller while the agent was the middle man.
You grab?
So now, when ever you here "affiliate marketing" forget the English.
Just know that it's all about recommending /connecting a product to someone and then getting paid doing so.
Have you ever recommended your friend's barbing/hair dressing saloon to another of your friend? .
If that your "another friend" have gone to patronize that your friend's barbing/hair dressing saloon.
What you just did was affiliate marketing but the difference is that you weren't paid by that your friend.
I'm not saying you should go and charge your friend for recommending his/her product or services to someone oo๐
I'm just curious, have you ever recommended your friend's product to another of your friend before?
Tell me about it on the comment section.
P. S: All I've done here is explaining the meaning of affiliate marketing.
By the way, there are big companies that are making it big in this affiliate marketing industry such as Jumia. Airbnb, Uber, Expertnaire, JVZoo, click bank etc.
If you have any question you are free to ask on the comment section and I will answer right away.
This post is to your growth.
