What is Affiliate Marketing?

AWeber’s affiliate marketing, basically, is receiving a commission from AWeber for every customer you bring in with them. Once the customer has made a purchase, you are then paid a commission from that sale.

Being part of their affiliate marketing strategy, your role with AWeber is to refer customers whom you think will have high chance of conversion or purchase from AWeber.When that purchase is made, you get a commission from AWeber.

Additionally, you also receive a commission from the same account every time that customer makes a purchase. And if the customer you referred is making steady payments to AWeber,you will be receiving commission for every payment that account makes. How great does that sound!

But how, you may ask?

The first step is to sign in to your AWeber Affiliate Account, with the affiliate ID and password which AWeber will provide upon signing up. From there, AWeber will provide you your affiliate URL which will stand as your official affiliate link to AWeber. Meaning, AWeber will use it to directly track your leads or affiliate sales. So take note, when someone clicks on that link and is taken to AWeber, they will know that it is you who referred them. This is where they also track the purchases of your referred customer from which you will earn.

According to AWeber, your affiliate URL can be placed anywhere you can write text or html. Some examples of places your affiliate URL can be placed are:

Your Email Signature
In the text of your website or blog
Sent via chat or email message
Behind a clickable image on your website
As the affiliate link in a YouTube video

It simply works like this, for example AWeber has given you this link: https://www.aweber.com/000000. Once you get a hold of your own affiliate link, you can already start copying that URL and paste it into your website, newsletter, social media posts and whatnot. When people see that affiliate link, they can click on it and are directed to AWeber. If they purchase an Aweber account, you get commission for the sale.

Customizing Your AWeber Affiliate Link

You can also create your own subdomain from the affiliate link AWeber has given you. A custom subdomain allows you to change the appearance of your affiliate URL from something like the above URL to something like this:http://thisismywebsite.aweber.com

Customizing your AWeber URL will…

AWeber affiliate link will match your website or business name.
Provides amore legitimate and personal approach to your marketing.
This also makes it much less confusing for your customers to identify and eventually click on.

Here’s how: To change your AWeber affiliate URL, log in to your affiliate account and click on “Customize link”. From there you can easily customize your link to reflect your specific product or service. By following this process, it is rest assured that when you create a custom subdomain, both the custom subdomain and the original AWeber affiliate URL will still credit your affiliate account for any sales.

Marketing as an Affiliate

AWeber also helps its affiliate market themselves to be able to let them gain or attract more customers and of course, purchases! AWeber supplies you with over 21 banners to choose from within your account for you to use in your website or blogs. But it isn’t perfect, and there may be an instance that their banner may not really matching the tone and color scheme of your blog or site.

If that’s the case, you should not limit yourself with their banners! Of course you can still create your own banner. Just create an image you want to use and make it a clickable anchor.

After that, you will then have a custom image that directs to your AWeber affiliate URL.As you can see, your AWeber Affiliate URL is more than just a static URL to be inserted into a page on your website.
