I have a friend who is an affiliate marketer. He does affiliate programs for various sectors. For example in the health sector, finance sector, educational sector and so many. It got me thinking after he tried introducing me into it, he is trying to make me change my mind from gambling in 8 ball pool instead i should use the money to get an online affiliate course.
Am curious right now, to know how does affiliates program work in gambling. I know gambling is big niche and they also run affiliate programs, so anyhow have an idea?
What affiliate marketing is all about is to make an outreach for more customers. As you said about friend, affiliate marketing in health sector is to make an outreach for people that is needed for that particular time, for example if an hospital is trying to reach customers that has diabetes because they have the cure to deal with diabetes but they don't have the means to get customer. They can employ your friend for the job by bringing customers for them either through the website by giving him a special link or even physically. The same idealogy with education and the rest.
That's how casino works too, a casino can gives you a special link to refer customers and if they register, deposit and wager their first game, you get some percentage cut or you may even get some special offer to bring in more customers. This is how casino affiliate marketing works. If you know how to bring in good traffic for a casino, you will make money doing the affiliate marketing.
