Video: How Affiliate Marketing Works
Written by Rosalind Gardner
Here’s a video that I made for you to show you the basics of how affiliate marketing works.
You’ll see one of my sites, the products that I promote on that site, how I affiliate with merchants and how easy it is to get the affiliate link code to place in your blog.
Of course, to learn all about how affiliate marketing works, get the Super Affiliate Handbook – the affiliate marketing industry’s standard training manual.

I like your video. what editor are you using for your blog?
Hi… not sure what you mean by ‘editor for your blog’, but I use a WordPress blog and ArticleLive for the ‘Articles‘ section of NPT. I hope that answers your question!
Excellent video, Roz! Perfect for those just getting started – step-by-step – A to Z!
Welcome back, glad all is well!
Thanks kindly, Griff.
So… when are you going to sign up for a Gravatar avatar? We want to see your mug!
I love your Roamsters blog… Is most of your traffic coming from organic searches?
I’ve been blogging for a few years but struggle to get targeted traffic. I guess I should go back and read my Super Affiliate Handbook.
Hi Ian,
Thanks kindly. I’m glad to hear you like the Roamsters travel blog… I think it’s my favorite site too!
Although I send PPC traffic to a main few pages and product endorsements on Roamsters, almost all of the traffic going to that site is organic.
Great video Ros!
Thanks Shaun!
Great!! I like this video. I learnt a lot of Rosalind techniques. Thanks to Rosalind.
Seems like the video is no longer available, so those who are “new” will have no way to view said video
Sorry for the glitch, but all appears well!
Video is dead.
Any way to see it now?
Thanks
CANCEL THAT. WORKS NOW… Youtube must be wonky.
Ros..do you know anything about Tissa Godavitarne? Please let me know anything you have about this. Thanks, Mary
Mary,
My basic understanding of the program is that you buy a version of his search engine service and drive traffic to it with pay per click advertising. There are affiliate programs in the engine such as reverse lookup and reunion.com. Your objective is to target searches for people’s names and hope that folks sign up for reunion.com and the like.
Honestly, doesn’t sound like something I’d invest in – especially since everyone who buys the program will be targeting a specific niche by ppc.
If you’re interested in having a niche affiliate store I’d recommend Traffic Genesis instead. You pick your niche, choose a design and add your own products.. and you won’t be in competition with everyone else who uses the same system.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ros
This did help..thanks!
Hi Rosalind
You were a student of a legend (Corey Rudl), but you have been a legend in your own right within affiliate marketing for sometime and all credit to you.
The video is fantastic and any one who wants to know about affiliate marketing should look no further than yourself for advice.
Given how well you come across on video have you considered doing a video course on your ebook The Super Affiliate Handbook
I’m going to ensure that I follow your advice closely and hope that I can enjoy the success that you have enjoyed.
Thanks for a wonderful post
Chris Raine
Hi Chris,
Thanks very much for your kind comments… I’m blushing.
And you’re right. I really should do a video course about affiliate marketing one of these days.
But I did do a full-blown video course with Anik (BlogClassroom) that covers many of my affiliate marketing techniques, plus all the technical aspects of blogging.
Hope that helps in the meantime!
Hi Ros
I’m based in the Uk and looking at my options.
I’m just a bit concered that everything I am looking at seems to be based on the US Market.
Your Video is great and so is your book which I have recently purchased. I am struggling to work out the best route for me to take and find the best place to sort out my website. Your suggestions have been great but I haven’t pressed the button on a couple due to my limited market place in the UK . Any suggestions ?
Hello Sean,
Thanks for getting in touch and I’m glad you asked that question.
Your market is the world. Although some merchants don’t accept UK (or Canadian, Australian, etc.) affiliates, it rarely where on the planet you live.
Too, the UK market is huge. You might want to consider segmenting your site to appeal to different audiences from different geographic regions depending on the products that you are promoting. But other than that… I’d go after the US market with a vengeance.
Hi Frank,
You don’t really need to use a trackback link for the trackback to show up in comment moderation on a WordPress blog.
All you need to do is link to the specific post, and WordPress will do the rest.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ros
Excellent video tutorial. It’s simple and easy to follow by watching the video. The video “means thousand words”! Looking forward more step-by-step videos tutorial on “how to generate income from affiliate marketing”.

Hello Bryan,
I’m glad that you found the video useful and I’ll do my best to post more instructional videos in future.
Again another excelent post, I’m really learning alot here in your site. I’ll surely recommend this site to my friends.
Yeah great vid Rosalind,
I’m just new to the affiliate scene, was drawn to it by the amazing success of a website my brother started, and seen the potential that was the World Wide Web.
Thanks for the vid. Keep up the good work.
Alan
Thanks for the instructional video! Being pretty new to blogging and affiliate marketing, I really appreciate the “visual” learning experience.
Thanks again,
Debbie
Thank you very much, it’s a good video, how can I download it if I want to? Please tell me if I can? Thanks
Hi Ros,
What software are you using to record your screen?
I’ve done some searches, but there are so many out there. I’d like to know what you use and/or if you have any personal recommendations.
Thanks!
Hi Shannon,
I use Camtasia Studio (version 5) for all my video recordings. Found the learning curve wasn’t bad at all, especially since I’m not a technie. Now if I could only manage to get Screencast (their video hosting solution) to work as well for me. Ugh.
Cheers,
Ros
Exellent video, very informative for a starter like myself.
Great quick video Rosalind! Thanks for the video. Affliate marketing is great if one can bring targeted traffic to their website. Keep bringing us this great information.
