How Can White Labelling Work For Partner Marketing?

Read More About Marketing

If you want to start affiliate selling then you might have thought about white labelling. But exactly how does white labelling work?

What is white labelling?
White labelling is a form of affiliate selling. A merchant decides that they want to increase their turnover through an affiliate scheme and will provide a variety of linking methods. Banners and a datafeed are the normal ways of working, but some more advanced providers will also want to appeal to those impending affiliates that do not have the technical skill levels required to build and maintain a website.

So the answer is to provide the website for the affiliate, in the form of a white label web site.

What is included in a white label web site?
Frequently the white label web site will have the full range of stock ready to sell. There will also be the methods on the website for the visitor to select the items that they wish to purchase and to checkout. The system provided will include full payment facilities and recording of your orders, so that you will earn a commission.

It will also provide a site name, even though this could quite often just be a subdomain of the main website. This is not necessarily ideal and you might prefer to register your own domain name to use for the web site.

What is not included in a white label website is the original merchant's branding - and that is where the name comes from. It could be as easy as an exact copy of the main web site, just with logos replaced with your name.

What do you do with the white label web site?
It depends what the web site is and what it includes. I have used white label websites that vary from dating web-sites to mobile phone retailers and mobile mobile accessories. Sometimes these come with a huge range of features, for example automatic top sites lists and more. Other times it is just the products and order handling.

But, it is your role to now get people onto the web site one way or another. I have done this a few different ways in the past, depending on the niche of the website. These include:

* Joining top web sites lists - exceptional on the types of websites where people are searching for more web-sites to browse, as for instance dating web sites. Potential customers are browsing these lists looking for more sites to join

* Article marketing - easily join the fun and write a few articles around whatever theme your white label web site is covering. Make them interesting and informative and people reading the articles will then pop along to your site. Also, all of the links pointing to your web site will help to boost the search engine rating.

* Pay per click marketing - being very careful about how much you spend, you might create adverts on the main search engines that send traffic directly to your web site. Can be very expensive, especially if you do not take the time first to research how best to write the adverts.

So, for a white label web site, all that you need to do is to sign up to the scheme and then start promoting it. Hopefully, a few people will then start earning you your commissions. That is how white labelling works!
