What is really an Affiliate Marketing?

That is a question that strucks most of the beginner in “money making online” scene. Ok let me explain a very simple answer to this Marketing and selling someone else’s product through a link is affiliate marketing. The seller, called the affiliate, signs up with a company such as eBay, Amazon or and of the thousands of companies and individuals that have affiliate marketing networks in place. The affiliate is then given links to sell the product and may be given banner ads and other promotional items that will help them to make sales.

Everytime someone clicks through the links or banner ads that were placed by the affiliate, goes to the seller’s site and then buys the product, the affiliate earns a commission. A commission is usually a percentage of the sale price, but it may be a flat rate instead.

Most affiliate marketing programs forbid spamming forums with affiliate links and sending spam emails that contain affiliate links. Other affiliate marketing programs have stricter rules about where the links can be advertised and in what context. Marketers who disobey the marketing rules of these affiliate networks risk being dropped from the affiliate network by that website.
Affiliate Marketing on Blogs

One of the most popular ways to make money with blogs is to place affiliate ads and links on the blogs. This is often done by creating a product review blog post that contains an affiliate link to the product. It can also be done by linking relevant words in the blog to affiliate products. Bloggers can also place affiliate banner ads on their blogs.
