A question I often get asked is what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing, in a nutshell, is online selling for a commission. In traditional offline sales you sell an item for a company and you receive a commission from the sale of that item. Online the same principles apply but it’s all done electronically.

Where affiliate marketing truly differs from traditional sales is that it can be a very passive and automatic business. Your website will sell for you 24 hours a day without you having to knock on doors or cold call.

Each time one of your website visitors clicks on a recommended product and purchases that product through your unique affiliate link you earn a commission for the sale.

Affiliate marketing is a wonderful business which truly allows you the opportunity to earn passive income. This means you can make money while you sleep, play or spend time with your family.
