Sujoy's Tech Blog: July 2014

Hello Friends,

I'm Sujoy. Many of you have heard about Flipkart Affiliate Program. Some of you might be wondering what this affiliate program is and some of you thinking is it another online scam in India? Well first let me assure that Flipkart Affiliate Program is not a scam, flipkart really pays to its affiliates. I've got my first payment from flipkart this week.

What is Flipkart Affiliate Program?
Flipkart Affiliate Program is a program where you post affiliate links(promotion links) of flipkart products on your own blog, youtube videos, facebook fan page, twitter feeds, google+ page etc. That is, you can post product links to any online media where you think maximum chances of people seeing it and thus maximum clicks on the link.

And when someone purchases something from flipkart following your affiliate link,you get a percentage commision of that sale! It's cool! You don't need to actively sale anything to anybody,still you get commission for each sale. And the good part is, even if the viewer don't buy that product following your link,but they purchase something else from Flipkart during the session,you get paid for that sell,even if you didn't promote it!

Basic Criteria of Joining Flipkart Affiliate Program?
You just need to have any online media where adequate and appropriate visitors visit regularly. Flipkart generally looks for media with more than 20000 monthly visitors. Flipkart sells products from books, fitness accessories, mobiles, tablets, digital camera/handycam, computers, cloths, home/kitchen appliances, menswear, womenswear, software and many more thing. You just have to think which product category( or more than one category) you can promote via your online media. For example if you have a website where you regularly review latest gadgets, then you can promote electronics items in it.
Or if your site provides college admission news/education info, then promote books/educational content,which has 10% commission rates. All commission rates and other details you can get in Flipkart Affiliate Program website here.

Some Things To Remember-
1. Be sure and sincere on what kind of product you can and you will promote. Try to give your audience best possible deals,so that they like to come to your site/blog/youtube channel regularly.
2. Use flipkart provided banners/search bar/links cleverly and beautifully in your blog/website without bothering your viewers too much with ads.
3. Each sale appears on your affiliate page within 24/48 hours of purchase, and one months sell is accumulated and calculated at the end of month,so don't worry if it is not showing in your affiliate home/landing page currently.
4. Each month's sale is paid after two months,before 15th of the month. For example,my May 2014 sales were accumulated & calculated at the end of May, and I got the payment on 14th of July 2014.
5. If you choose E-Gift-Voucher(minimum earnings Rs 250),then you can use that for purchasing items from flipkart, if item value exceeds voucher value, rest you have to pay. If you choose Cash Payment(minimum earnings Rs 1000),then flipkart will transfer the amount to your bank account via NEFT.
