[Glossary] What is Affiliate Marketing? A Gentle Breakdown of Types and Business Tips from a Homemaker's Perspective
*This article contains promotions.
Hello, I'm Sato.
Affiliate marketing is a job that delivers value as a "guide," but there are many ways to approach it.
Here, I will organize the styles you can use into three main categories.
How to Categorize Affiliate Marketing
Here, I will introduce the main ways to categorize affiliate marketing. By understanding the characteristics, you can find the affiliate style that suits you best.
1. Classification by Reward Unit Price and Target
The form of the reward changes depending on what you deliver and to whom.
High-Unit-Price Type (Finance, Job Change, Car Purchase, etc.): Characterized by a large reward amount per conversion. Because the hurdle for consideration is higher for the reader, reliability and in-depth information are required.
Shopping Type (Amazon, Rakuten, etc.): Although the unit price per conversion is low, the hurdle for purchase, such as for daily necessities, is low, making it easy to introduce as an extension of daily life.
2. Classification by Main Battlefield for Attracting Customers
This is a style based on where you make your main battlefield to meet readers.
SNS Main Battlefield Type (X, Instagram, etc.): Based on interaction and empathy with followers. You deliver information in real-time and leverage familiarity and viral potential to encourage clicks.
Search Market Type (Blog, SEO, etc.): Focuses on traffic from search engines. You attract customers with a "waiting" stance, presenting products as solutions to people who are searching because they have problems.
3. Classification by Range of Genres Introduced
This is how you expand your scope, depending on how much of a range you handle as a specialty.
Specialized Type: You narrow down to a specific genre and dig deep. It is easier to increase expertise, and it becomes easier to gain the trust of readers looking for information in that field, leading them to think, "I want to buy from this person."
Non-Genre Type: You don't limit yourself to a specific genre and introduce a wide range of things you think are good. It is characterized by high freedom and the ability to flexibly expand the products you handle according to trends and your own interests.
The ease of earning without branding
Affiliate marketing is a great attraction because you don't need to develop products yourself, so you can easily start by combining these styles without assuming advanced branding.
You can choose which style to adopt as a "guide" based on your personality and daily rhythm.
