Affiliate marketing, what is it?

Well, honestly the number 1 income source online!

Amazon kind of invented or discovered this system first and today, almost every company selling online has an own affiliate programm.

How does it work?

There is the merchant, he has products that he wants to sell. The old-fashioned way is to spend big on advertisement to sell the products.

The idea was, if there were people who have a website and can refer people to their website or recommend their product, they´d save on advertisement and pay the affiliate. They only have to pay the affiliate if he generates a sale. So it´s really a win-win situation!

There are multiple ways of selling as an affiliate today, bum-marketing, niche-marketing, email marketing or stealthy, subtile ways of marketing.

Each way has it´s own rules and requires individual tactics.

A very famous moneymaker is selling Clickbank products. They ave a huge marketplace with ebooks tho choose from.
I myself got involved with niche marketing and found it very interesting and lucrative.

A contact of mine, Mr. Andrew Hansen from Australia, had helped me a lot with his great work Nichemarketingoncrack.

You know, it´s funny as a marketer: in most cases you buy ebooks and at the end of the day it was just another waste of money. But sometimes you buy an ebook and after finishing it you feel like it took you to at least the next level in the matter of wisdom.

That´s exactly what I thought when finishing Nichemarketingoncrack.

I love it!

Ok, enough of that!

Tastes are different and maybe you´ll find other methods like being more for you. That´s ok!

Online marketing shall be fun!
