As shown on the home page, affiliate marketing is a very cost-effective way for companies to promote their products and services. This form of marketing is popular among companies but in many cases, the rewards are not worthwile for the affiliates (people such as yourself). For example AA breakdown cover offers $10 worth of boots vouchers for recommending a friend whereas with Freeblee and Freebiejeebies, you can get free iMacs, iPhones and iPads.
What is affiliate marketing
Ultimately, affiliate marketing is a tool where large companies reward you for trying products and services you wouldn't regularly try. In this case the reward is a free iPad, iMac or iPod.
What are the benefits of affiliate marketing for the companies
Affiiate marketing is very cost-effective as the consumers who try out the services usually have genuine interest in the service. However if the company where to advertise on television for example, millions would be wasted showing adverts to people who have no interest in the product. Also television advertising requires upfront payment, which a company may not be able to afford straight away whereas by using affiliate marketing, companies only pay once they have recieved a potential new customer. This also reduces the risk for the companies as they can spend alot of money on regular advertising and not get any results, but with affiliate marketing, they only pay when they are shown results
How can anyone afford to give out gifts worths hundreds of dollars to people for free?
To completely understand how your gift is free, consider the three parties involved; you, the companies, and the free gifts website. When you sign up to the free gifts website, complete an offer, and refer a few friends. That company compensates freebiejeebies around $25. This is because $25 is a very small price to pay for advertising, and they have a better chance of getting long-term users as people are more likely to continue after the free trial as they have actually tryed out the service.
Once you have enough referrals, the freebie site has recieved enough commision from your friends signing up to free trials that they can afford to pay for your gift.
