What future holds for Affiliate Marketing in India?

There is this news in the industry that affiliate marketing is all about earning $500 a month. The buzz is grossly manipulated and might be encouraging for those who see affiliate marketing as a threat to their business.

It is true that fewer affiliates make more than $10,000 a month. But lot more depends on the strategies adopted, programs signed up and the resources possessed by the affiliate. The earnings are directly dependent on them. Any affiliate can become the top earning or super affiliate in a relatively less time. The vertical growth is immense and has little to do with the lacunae in the affiliate marketing industry.

In a country like India, many web site publishers have resources that can be cashed in for thousands of dollars a month. The clients or merchants are usually those based in Europe or America. And what they require is results which any affiliate with the help of good resource can deliver.

The industry itself is growing. As more and more money is thrown before the online marketers and advertisers, the small figures or earnings is out of question. The reason for the wide gap that exists between the affiliates earning a five figure amount and those making few hundred dollars is the awareness level. But in the course of the time and with the sharing of knowledge, the gulf will get reduced.

Industry standards also mean a lot. With non-standard practices common in the industry, the growths as well as opportunities to excel remain at the lower end. That also leads to disparities.

It is predicted that as the marketers will become fully aware of the key strategies and techniques the disparities would be very much reduced and the earnings slots will not have much difference.
