The 21st century is blurring the border between consumers and producers, as well as between advertisers and consumers. The Social Media phenomenon shows that properly utilized community potential can bring enormous benefits. Therefore, IdoSell online stores have the opportunity to benefit from the potential of bloggers, YouTubers and their current customers in order to engage them in promoting your e-business by offering a chance to participate in the affiliate program.
The affiliate program, otherwise known as affiliate marketing, is a model of cooperation of an online shop with influencers (i.e. bloggers, content publishers), where in exchange for promoting your store in (the social media, blogs, YouTube, forums) and winning the order, you pay the partner a commission. This model of promotion is very profitable for the store. Payments are made in the PPS (Pay-Per-Sale) model, so the store pays only for the effects. In addition, the affiliate program is a long-term promotion, and when you establish a partnership with a well-known blog, you are guaranteed hundreds of new unique visits a month.
The affiliate program is next to AdWords one of the best ways to drive traffic to a store, giving you huge benefits without the heavy workload. It is worth adding that the stores using the affiliate program are gaining more and more orders.
