Affiliate marketing is basically in short, selling others’ products as an affiliate. An affiliate is like an independent salesperson that gets a commission on each completed sale. You can be an affiliate of many affiliate programs or just one. It’s your choice. And you can sell anything online from physical products like DVDs, vitamin supplements to digital products like ebooks and music MP3 files.
Becoming an affiliate is not a difficult task on the internet. There are dozens of affiliate programs online that accepts almost everyone into their program. And registration is in most cases, free.
The job of the affiliate is to expose the product to potential buyers. Making the sales however does require some work on your part as an affiliate. The whole marketing process can be an interesting one albeit challenging for some. When I first started on affiliate marketing, I too faced some difficulties in getting it right. But I soon learnt through ebooks, forums and from people who made it good.
Affiliate marketing is one of the greatest opportunity and indeed easiest ways for anyone to make a fortune online. The Dot Com boom and increasing interest and usage of the internet as the main source for information has created many opportunities for products to be sold online.
Anyone can get started and do it full time or part time. It does not matter what you are doing offline for a living. You can be a teacher, an engineer, a banker, a doctor (yes, there are doctors who switched to affiliate marketing as their new career), a retail sales assistant, a crane operator, a full-time mother or even a teen. Yes, there are some celebrity affiliate marketers who dropped out from college to pursue affiliate marketing. Surely, there must be something alluring?

Benefits of Affiliate Marketing:
1. You Do Not Need A Website To Sell The Product
Majority of affiliate programs would provide you with a ready replicated website to promote their products. This is a bonus for all newbie affiliate marketers.
2. You Do Not Need To Create Your Own Product
The product is already created by the product owner. You only need to market it.
3. You Do Not Need To Update Or Upgrade The Products
The product owner takes care of all product updates and upgrades. You as an affiliate do not need to lift a finger to handle that.
4. You Do Not Need To Handle Customer Feedback And Backend Support
Not everyone likes to or is good at dealing with customer feedback. All customer feedback and backend support is provided by the product owner.
5. You Do Not Need To Handle Transactions And Refunds
All transactions from setting up the payment processor and so on are all taken care of by the product owner. Like it or not, there will always be people who request for refunds. All such refunds are also handled by the affiliate program.
6. Payment Is Simple And QuickMost affiliate programs pay you either via checks or direct payment to payment processors like Paypal.
