Basics of Affiliate Marketing - Part 1

Making money as an affiliate for someone else is a fantastic way to make money. Being an affiliate means you get paid a commission every time someone does something with another person's product (enters their e-mail, signs up for a free report, but usually purchasing the product). If you are an affiliate for Amazon, you get paid every time someone buys something from Amazon after arriving at Amazon from your link.

Benefits of Being an Affiliate
There are many benefits to being an affiliate for someone else:
  • Getting paid on a regular basis.
  • Not having to deal with customers.
  • Not having to store any products.
  • Not having to ship any products.
  • Not having to do accounting (aside from cashing your affiliate checks).
And those are just the tip of the iceberg. In the next post, I will discuss ways to promote affiliate products to help you to earn money online.
