own a product.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, all you\u2019ve gotta do is to help sell products created by other people.<\/p>\n<p>How can you do this?<\/p>\n<p>Simple:<\/p>\n<p>By promoting affiliate links

landscape!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"publishers-or-supply-side\"><\/span>Publishers or Supply Side<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When talking about the publishers or the supply side of the mobile affiliate marketing ecosystem, we first need to make a distinction between the perspectives from which we\u2019re standing.<\/p>\n<p>In general, publishers are the players who have traffic and who want to make money from it.<\/p>\n<p>What can they be, you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Check it out:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>Webmasters: they\u2019ve got traffic from users who access their websites<\/li>\n<li>App Developers: they\u2019ve got traffic from users who use their apps<\/li>\n<li>Social Media Marketers: they\u2019ve got traffic from users who use social media platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are the guys who are responsible for the supply.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, they\u2019re the ones who supply the mobile advertising spaces in which offers are gonna be promoted.<\/p>\n<p>These are websites, applications, social media channels, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Since the number of mobile users is growing, market players are currently in the process of adapting to a whole new reality.<\/p>\n<p>Which one?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m referring to user-friendly mobile interfaces, new functions and tools for comfortable navigation from any mobile device, constant updates and upgrades, push notifications about news and events, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In short, everything that manages to keep users active on their smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the user focused and engaged is essential.<\/p>\n<p>Why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Because it can help create a bigger share of high quality traffic and therefore more potential profit.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there\u2019s always some part of the traffic that can be considered low-quality or even fraudulent.<\/p>\n<p>Meaning what?<\/p>\n<p>That the clicks and visits are generated in spades but don\u2019t bring any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/cost-per-lead\/\">real leads<\/a> or conversions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"advertisers-or-demand-side\"><\/span>Advertisers or Demand Side<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is an advertiser in the world of affiliate marketing?<\/p>\n<p>Easy!<\/p>\n<p>Advertisers are the owners of the offer\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>In the specific area of mobile affiliate marketing, they tend to be VAS companies, app developers, product owners, etc.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re looking for users to acquire their product, which is why they need to advertise it.<\/p>\n<p>These guys can\u2019t place advertisements all over the internet by themselves.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the reason why they trust a wide range of publishers to manage the ads and bring high-quality traffic to the offers.<\/p><div class=\"mobid-in-content-15-p_2-2\"

represents a potential future client.<\/p>\n<p>The user only needs to insert some info about them for the advertiser to sell them their products in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This can be done by submitting an email address or filling a form, for example.<\/p>\n<p>There are other advertisers who don\u2019t care about leads.<\/p>\n<p>They care about actual conversions in real time.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of this:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>Subscribing to a service<\/li>\n<li>Buying a product<\/li>\n<li>Installing an app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In any case, all advertisers wanna get high-quality clients that are consistently able to pay for services.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"affiliate-programs\"><\/span>Affiliate Programs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a really important part of the affiliate marketing world.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s helping demand and supply meet each other in the best way possible in the realm of mobile affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Affiliate programs can be directly controlled by the advertiser.<\/p>\n<p>A very well-known case of an advertiser-owned affiliate program is the one that made the model famous over 20 years ago:<\/p>\n<p>Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>In this type of affiliate programs, affiliates are directly connected to the advertiser, who is the person that&#8217;s providing the affiliate links.<\/p>\n<p>Then, for each purchase performed using those links, the affiliate who\u2019s responsible will receive a commission.<\/p>\n<p>Another type of affiliate program consists of affiliate networks, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/sign-up\/\">Mobidea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What do affiliate networks do?<\/p>\n<p>They aggregate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/choosing-cpa-offers\/\">thousands of offers<\/a> in just one place.<\/p>\n<p>This is good for advertisers.<\/p>\n<p>They can connect to one entity if they want to.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the network will be the one making the offer available to several affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>Affiliate networks are also super advantageous to affiliates, since they can find everything they need in one spot.<\/p>\n<p>Feel like this can be your thing?<\/p>\n<p>Feel like you could explore mobile affiliate marketing?<\/p>\n<p>Start searching for related articles online, perform your own tests, check some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/affiliate-marketing-forums\/\">online affiliate marketing communities<\/a>, and learn how to convert potential profit

performance-based marketing.<\/p>\n<p>In mobile affiliate marketing, businesses reward one or more affiliates for every single user\/customer who\u2019s brought by a given affiliate through a mobile device (generally an Android smartphone or an iOS device.)<\/p>\n<p>This industry has four main players:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>The advertiser: they may represent a brand, a

when it comes to carrier billing offers (you\u2019ll only have this type of offers for mobile devices.)<\/p>\n<p>They are the ones that provide mobile data to the users.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they are the ones that decide what can be promoted and how.<\/p>\n<p>They have a relationship with both the users and the VAS companies, allowing them to have control over mobile marketing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"billing\"><\/span>Billing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Considering this market runs on mobile devices, there must be a different way to charge the user for the acquisition of the product\/service offered.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, and bearing in mind the fact that the Carrier Operators are the ones that rule the market, the user will be charged the cost of the product\/service through their mobile phone bill.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"flow\"><\/span>Flow<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bearing the previous point in mind, the flow will differ from the flow of desktop, mainly because of the possibilities that Carrier Operators bring into play.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in the PIN submit flow, if the user wants to subscribe to the offer by clicking in the \u201cconfirmation button\u201d, they\u2019ll receive a text message from the VAS with a code.<\/p>\n<p>The goal?<\/p>\n<p>For them to insert the code on the offer page and get subscribed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"traffic-sources\"><\/span>Traffic Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In-app traffic is the biggest traffic source in mobile.<\/p>\n<p>This pertains to the traffic that you won\u2019t find so frequently on Desktop.<\/p>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p>Because you install apps on your smartphone, not on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, mobile apps are dominating the mobile market right now.<\/p>\n<p>This really is a huge source of traffic so don\u2019t neglect it!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"traffic-restrictions\"><\/span>Traffic Restrictions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s a new restriction that you must take into account.<\/p>\n<p>Which one?<\/p>\n<p>The promotion of offers through mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p>Some offers will accept it, others won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"targeting\"><\/span>Targeting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/media-buying-campaign-targeting\/\">new possibilities of targeting<\/a> will be brought about by the inclusion of the Carrier Operator.<\/p>\n<p>In some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/what-is-an-ad-network\/\">ad networks<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to target the specific users from a Carrier.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this main point, it\u2019s all about considering the new device types, operating systems, browsers, etc. for mobile.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conversion-type\"><\/span>Conversion Type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The main distinction here will be the subscription and install models which aren\u2019t common on desktop.<\/p>\n<p>On mobile, you\u2019ll find that the subscription to a service (ringtones, wallpapers, videos, etc.) is very common.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also normal to see apps that you can install on your smartphone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"user-experience\"><\/span>User Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that, since smartphones are considerably smaller than a laptop or a desktop, the user experience will also have to be adapted to these formats.<\/p>\n<p>Understand that banners, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/mobile-ad-formats-sizes\/\">ad spots<\/a>, etc. will all have different shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also find different options to buy traffic, as you\u2019ll have mobile web traffic (from mobile devices) and web traffic (from all the other non-mobile devices).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mobile-affiliate-marketing-explained-8-steps\"><\/span>Mobile Affiliate Marketing Explained: 8 Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-real-affiliate-life-isnt-gonna-be-like-what-youve-read-online\"><\/span>1.
