For those of you unfamiliar with the term, affiliate marketing is essentially like having a salesperson on commission, except instead of working in a physical store, they work on the internet.

Now, you may be thinking, “That sounds like a lot of work.” But here’s the catch: you don’t actually have to do any of the hard work! All you have to do is simply set things up, and then sit back, relax, and let the internet do all the heavy lifting.

You can always complicate things later, after you've gotten things working consistantly.

How to Get Started in Affiliate Marketing

So, how do you get started in affiliate marketing? Well, it’s simple. All you need is a computer, an internet connection, and the ability to tell people about things you love. That’s it! No prior experience required.

Okay, okay, maybe it’s not that simple. But, it’s not rocket science either! With a little bit of effort and a dash of creativity, anyone can become a successful affiliate marketer.

The Commission: The Real Magic of Affiliate Marketing

Now, for the best part: the commission. This is where the real magic happens. Imagine getting paid for telling your friends about your favorite products and services. It’s like getting paid to talk about the things you love! How cool is that?!

We know, some of you are saying you do not feel comfortable with that. We get that, particularly when someone only plugs the items they get paid for, without respect to the people who are listening.

Instead, we take a different approach.

Without regard to a commission, we make suggestions about the items we have knowledge about, the tools we actually use, and the benefit to those listening. Fortunately, some of the tools that pass our “suggestion” criteria do pay a commission for referals.

The Bottom Line for Affiliate Marketing

In conclusion, while affiliate marketing is a vast river of possibilities with lots of twists and turns and tide pools to get caught up in, It can also be as simple as getting paid to talk about the things you love!

Thus, keeping it fun, relevant can lead to a lucrative way to make money online.

For those who get started in promoting and earn those commission checks also benefit in one more way. Remember, the internet never sleeps, so you can work from anywhere in the world, at any time of the day or night!
