Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s or company’s products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.
It is a simple method where you sell others product or services and
earn a some commission for it. This is as simple as this and the whole process
as to how you get into it is also simple.
- Big companies such as HP, Apple and Microsoft simply go to certain affiliate marketing providers and provide them with their ads about their products and then pay them for it.
- You go to the people (who are the middle men) and get the products which may be available in the form of Banner advertising or text links and so on.
- Then you place them on some relevant posts or places on your website or blog.
- You’re done.
In short words you affiliate yourself with a certain product and work for it to get it sold. You can also use other ways such as Facebook or Twitter to promote it but I don’t recommend it. You can use them to promote your website with the product and get it sold.
