What Is Affiliate Marketing?
What is affiliate marketing? Basicly it is an agreement between you and a merchant. That agreement is usually on the line of: You agree to promote (market) said merchants product to your customers or customers you aquire by sending them to the merchants sales page.
Should that customer make a purchase of that product, then the merchant will pay you a percentage of that sale. The percentages ranges from as little as 5% up to 100%. For instanse, Amazon.com pays their associates (affiliates) a 10% commission.
Why some merchants pay 100% commissions as an incentive for affiliates to market their products is to make you more Enthusiastic about promoting it. How do they make money? From the upsell or upgrade of a higher priced product(s).
And the best part of that is, you also get a commission on that as well. Normally between 25% to 50%. It is a win-win situation for everybody.
Is Affiliate Marketing For You?
Do you think affiliate marketing is for you? Do you think you have the determination to succeed? Are you tired of punching someone else's clock? Good, that's a beginning. One of the most important traits you will need in this business is desire - a desire so strong that nothing will deter you from your goal of being an affiliate marketer and succeeding.
I do have to tell you that it won't be easy. Some of you may have already begun or been doing it for awhile and understand what I mean. You will make mistakes, and there will be some false starts. Not every campaign will be successful. But don't sweat it because you will come out on top with your desire and determination. You will learn from your mistakes and keep improving with every setback. You know you will achieve success because you won't give up and quit. YOU ARE A WINNER.
Want to learn the secret of ALL self made millionaires? They made mistakes and a lot of them. But, they didn't give up. They were focused on their desire with determination and did not let anything get in their way nor let anything stop them from reaching their goals.

Then come back and continue your education. That's right – your education. It begins but never stops. Learning techniques and being taught the ins and outs of marketing is something you never want to stop if you want to keep moving forward.
Many people do affiliate marketing full time and some do it part time. And if you don't think there isn't any money in it, then please do not tell, Patric Chan, Ewen Chia, Liz Tomey, and many others that. They each made over a million U.S. dollars. (Hope they don't mind my name dropping) Fact is Affiliate marketing is a billion dollar a year industry.
