What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is when you sign up to promote other people's
products (or services) for a share of the sale in the form of
commissions.  As an affiliate marketer, you usually don't need any
special training or start-up funding.
Your tasks as an affiliate marketer will be to drum up traffic to
the product owner's pitch page, allowing them to convert the
prospect into a buyer.  The more targeted you are with your traffic
promotions, the higher your conversion rate will be.
There are many things you can promote as an affiliate. On Amazon,
for instance, you can promote anything tangible (and a few digital
downloads as well).  If you want to be in the paintball niche, for
example, you can include links using your Amazon associate
(affiliate) ID to sell specific paintball guns, paintballs, and
attire.
You can go to sites like ClickBank or PayDotCom and get a unique
affiliate ID to promote an endless supply of information products.
They have everything from acne to organic gardening products.
You can even become an affiliate promoting actions.  There are many
Internet marketers who focus their business on getting a steady
stream of traffic to take an action, such as filling out a survey
online.
With affiliate marketing, you don't have to worry about developing
ideas and creating products.  You don't have to deal with customer
service follow-ups or continually create more products for the
marketplace.
Your job is made easier by product owners who care so much about
their own success that they provide a toolbox to help you with
yours!  The toolbox usually includes ready-made emails, web
reviews, and banner ads you can use with your own link embedded in
them for to help you succeed.
Most Internet marketers will eventually blur the lines of product
owner and affiliate marketer.  Product owners continually use their
list of buyers to promote affiliate items, and affiliates often
build such a good reputation in a niche that they're urged to come
out with a product of their own.
How much can an affiliate marketer earn? There are virtually no
limits. You can market to multiple niches and work as much or as
little as you want to generate targeted traffic through your links.
 Super affiliates can earn six figures or more, but even a beginner
affiliate can often earn enough to pay the bills each month - with
some change to spare!This is a great way to make money online.
