Introduction To Affiliate Marketing

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is simply defined as a method of making money online by selling other people products, selling other people’s product for money but here in the affiliate world it is called commission.

You that is promoting the product is called an affiliate and the person you are promoting its product is called a vendor while the affiliate website is the middleman linking the two of you together.

The people’s product you’re selling can either be a digital product like e-book, software, video, audio, etc or physical product like clothes, bags, shoes, beauty products, and so on…

How do I become an Affiliate?

You sign-up with any one of your choice, as there are many Affiliate sites floating the online world today. Fill necessary info’s like names, username, email address, etc and you automatically become an Affiliate.

Note you’ll be asked to activate your account by clicking on a confirmation link sent to you.

Becoming an Affiliate makes it possible for you to start promoting any programme at all. It’s free to sign up and promote any programme. You don’t pay to become an Affiliate!

Most Affiliate websites actually pay what is due to you after purchase is made. I personally have not come across any scam Affiliate website which would hold your payment without any cogent reason or ask for money before signing up. This means that you can virtually sign-up with anyone you like!

However, there are some Affiliate websites which I highly recommended for Affiliate Marketing due to the level of credibility and transparency maintained over the years with their Affiliates.

Examples of such credible Affiliate sites are;

Clickbank {Digital products}

Paydotcom {Digital products}

Commission Junction {Physical products}

Linkshare {Physical products}

Remember this is a site that’s genuinely designed to help beginners make money online!
