Are you the one who is trying your best to figure out which is the best affiliate program, Amazon or Flipkart? If yes, then here I will compare the two and will try to help you for choosing the best. No doubts, that the e-commerce in India seen a rapid growth in the past few years, which was started with Flipkart and followed by others, like, Jabong, Myntra and many more. It is because of the fact that people in India have started shopping through online websites, which made affiliate marketing to grow at a tremendous pace. For instance, when it is about shopping for the latest gadgets, people look forward to Amazon or Flipkart. And this has become one of the major sources for Internet Marketers as well as for bloggers to earn money.
Earlier, Adsense was the only major source of earning, but now, we have Affiliate Marketing, which is on boom in India. Most of the bloggers are using their own affiliate marketing links for promoting the products from Amazon and Flipkart. Bloggers who don’t have a prior knowledge about Affiliate Marketing, then they have to use the affiliate link from the network whenever a person tries to buy a product online through the affiliate link, which earns you a commission. Obviously, there are few networks which do pay per registration, pay per lead and pay per click, but here, I will specifically talk about Pay Per Sale.
Being a blogger, I too work with different affiliate marketing networks, which is a part of my monetization technique. Every blogger including me register themselves with both Amazon and Flipkart for giving a try.
