It’s highly likely that you have heard of affiliate marketing if you have been looking for ways of making money on the net.
Using this form of marketing, you will be rewarded a commission for sending someone to the website who buys a product.
Earning a commission is automatically tracked and recorded because your link will have your affiliate code in it.
There are a number of ways you can promote your special link. For example, you can mention it in an email letter or insert it into a product review on your blog.
Affiliate marketing has its challenges. For instance, if doing a pay per click campaign, your cost of advertising might exceed what you earn in commissions.
However, if you can come up with an effective way of driving traffic to a website, it is almost like having money on autopilot because all the work has been done for you: the market research, the website, product delivery, and customer service issues.

Here are some advantages of this type of marketing:
* You can start on little or no money. Your only expenses are related to advertising the website. While you can, of course, pay for advertising and save time, you can also choose to use your time to create advertising through forum marketing, video marketing, social media marketing, blogging, and article marketing.
* Although it is a difficult and time consuming enterprise to run a business, you will not have to do the burden of the work. Your only task is to focus on marketing the business, persuading people to visit the website.
* There is no limit to how much money you can make online. Most jobs require long hours and only offer a fixed pay regardless of how hard you work.
* Often enough the merchant will provide you everything you need to make a sale. This includes free training on how to market and free tools like articles, videos, emails, and banner ads.
* Another benefit of this business is that it is based on selling to the world, rather than one small geographical area. In other words, you can enjoy an unlimited number of possible customers.
* No closing time. This means that purchases from your merchant’s website can be made at any time of the day or night from anywhere in the world. It’s like getting paid for referring a shop that never closes.
* Promoting can be entirely free. Of course, if you are short on time, you may be interested in using paid advertising, but this is optional.
When you think of all these advantages, it only makes sense to add affiliate marketing to your Internet marketing.
Even if you have your own website and products, you can still continue making money on the net by referring your customer base to related products from another merchant, someone who is not a direct competitor but who offers something that complements your products.
