    Hello,

    Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
    Affiliate marketing can be done by almost anyone, you do not need to be a webmaster per-se, and a personal website or blog is often recommended, but not always required.

    Cheers

    Affiliate marketing is basically just telling people about things they haven't found themselves yet...

    In a nutshell..
    Person A: "I'm looking for a good baker"
    Person B: "I know where to find one, go to this adress"
    Person A: "Thanks for the tip!
    Fancy Baker: "Thanks for the business, Person B! Have a cookie."

    So yea, anyone can do it. You don't need any special tools, but blogs and email lists are pretty handy.

    Affiliate marketing is simply the process of getting paid by people or companies for referring people to their product or service. As an affiliate, you will make a commission (a percentage of the profits from each sale).

    It does not require you to have a website or any other web property. As long as you can send traffic to your affiliate link, then it's possible to make money.

    However, if you really want to succeed as an affiliate marketer, then I recommend you do not try to do it without at least building and optin list and using that list to promote affiliate offers to your optins.

    The reason a lot of affiliates struggle to make sales is because they send their traffic directly to an affiliate link instead of forming a relationship with people and then promoting affiliate products to them.

    The main point of affiliate marketing is helping people solve their needs.

    When someone is searching for something you need to be where they go to find that answer then you get paid a commission for them going through you to get what they need. That's the most simple way I can break it down.

    Affiliate marketing is simply a referral based system, where you get paid for sending customers to a product/service provider.

    If you have a personal interest in affiliate marketing, the first thing you need to do is find a good niche and the right products to promote.

    Hello There

    Affiliate marketing is promoting someone else's product and taking a cut (Commission).

    To do this you need to drive traffic to an option form. This will capture the essentials (name and e-mail).
    From this you will create leads (your list: The most important part of your arsenal). After joining your list they will land on a Thank You Page or Landing Page. This will promote the product you're going to sell. If they don't buy, it's okay. You will now have their e-mail address. Set up an auto-responder that automatically sends out your pre-composed e-mails to promote yourself and the product.

    Also remember to provide free congruent information that is relevant to the product within your message. This will make you trustworthy and provide more value for money. E.g If you're selling an abs programme in the diet and fitness niche then maybe have a little e-book or just text and picture content that's congruent, such as The Top 5 Foods You Shouldn't Eat If You Want A Flat Belly

    I hope this helps

    Good Lucl

    Anyone can do it. Anyone can be an affiliate.

    Obviously if you already have a website or traffic it would be easier, but still it's open for anyone.

    Go to the ClickBank marketplace. Pick a product you think is cool. Click 'Request Promote'. BOOM! You're now an affiliate

    Anyone can do affiliate marketing. There isn't really much of a criteria for you to get started with it.

    You need to go to Google and Youtube and begin doing some research on what it is. You can even use the search feature in this forum to get all sorts of information. The owner of the product or service is benefiting for us the affiliate sending over a visitor and pays us a commission for doing so. We don't need to have a product or handle customer service or deliverable or anything. Just refer somebody over then or job is done! Of course today we want to be leveraging our marketing by building a list and that way we can build a relationship with our list and continue to promote other products and services.

    Affiliate marketing is when you get paid to acquire customers/leads for a company.It's a great way to make money online since you don't have to create your own products plus you can promote proven offers in the marketplace.

    Of course the only downside is the fact that you only get compensated when you generate a sale/lead,all the risk is on you as the affiliate. The product vendor has nothing to lose since it doesn't cost them that much to take you on as an affiliate.

    By the way,if you're looking for a great affiliate marketing training site check out Affilorama.com
