What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is when you advertise or sell someone else’s product for a commission. This is a great way to get started in Internet Marketing when you don’t have a product of your own to sell yet. It can also help you hone your marketing skills before launching your own product.

Some Affiliate Marketers actually make as much as $50-100,000/month just in commissions from selling other companies’ products. When I first started on the web as a Web Designer/Developer I ran affiliate ads for hosting companies on my website (I now own a Hosting Company too) and averaged about $300/month in extra income with very low traffic. I now select my affiliate programs carefully and expect a monthly return of at least $3000 or I cancel that program. With a dozen or more campaigns at any one time, that provides a very nice supplemental income. In fact, some months I make more from Affiliate Marketing than I do from my Development Business.
