Many – and I mean many – Internet marketers have gotten their start through affiliate marketing. Consider this – you can start making money without creating a product, without dealing with support nightmares and even without a website. And you can get started immediately.
You get paid by bringing buyers to sellers. When they buy, you get a “piece of the action” — called a commission. So, if a prospect buys a $50 product, and the product pays 50% commission – you will make $25.
In other words, you are like a commission-only salesperson. Except that you don’t have to do all the selling – or, often, much selling at all. You don’t have to do take any “orders”. You don’t have to meet prospects “face-to-face.” All you have to do, often, is simply introduce interested people to the product. And it all happens online.
Considering that you can advertise on the Internet often for free or very inexpensively, it may be the perfect place to start, or expand, your efforts in creating an online income and an Internet business.
