Affiliate marketing for local business: yes or no?

Even if you’re a small local business, you might find an affiliate offer that benefits your customer and can add to your bottom line.

For instance, a real estate company might advertise on one of their pages using an insurance or mortgage offer. An implant dentist might have a dental loan assistance affiliate offer. The caveat should be, does this offer help my customer fulfill a meaningful purpose or desire.

For internet marketers, blog publishers, what is not to like about affiliate marketing? Any individual website owner or business entity can profit by earning commissions for referring sales, leads and traffic to an advertiser from a well-crafted content page.
