Affiliate Marketing Explained

How does an affiliate marketer make money? Well lets start first by explaining the marketers most basic goal. If he can drive a lot of people to his website then from there he can monetize and start raking in the cash

He partners with various companies and individuals who own products and are looking for a way to promote them. He agrees to push their product for a cut of the sale price. That percentage can range from 3% to 80% in some rare cases. Affiliate marketing is an attractive business model because of a few unique elements:

1.You don't need a product.

2.You don't have to worry about customer service.

3.No employees and no boss.

4.It can be run completely from home.

Take Yourself and your Online Business Seriously

It very easy to get caught up in the hype that's so prevalent on the internet today about how you can make $834,873.09 per week if you practice these simple, secret techniques.
