Affiliate Marketing Accounting & Taxes

Affiliate Marketing and You:

• The control of marketing is in your hands. Not only do you decide which websites can promote for you, but you also decide how they receive their compensation. You have the capability to screen which website can post your link. This helps with branding; you can make sure you are not associated with any topics you don’t want your business affiliated with. Compensation is also your decision. Will your affiliate receive compensation for every time an interested person clicks on the link? Or will they only receive compensation after the person makes a purchase? An accountant can help you make these risky decisions.
• You choose how the affiliate will promote. You can choose that they simply use a link, or that they use a large banner. The commission should reflect which option they have selected to use. AGRS accounting will help you with these decisions as well.
• As you gain exposure, a group may become interested about your service and/or product. An interested group can boost sales as they express their interest. As interest increases, so does your affiliate link. Your accountant will help you determine how this affects your bookkeeping and payroll.
• No inventory given is to affiliates! You as the business owner handle all transactions to your customers. You remain in total control of your business while someone else helps to promote your business. All customer service, shipping, and billing are handled through you. However, you may not be the best at creating invoices and keeping your books up to date to reflect the invoices. Your accountant will help you.
