What is Affiliate Marketing?

"Affiliate Marketing" is a form of network marketing that involves the promotion of products and services in return for commission income.

This requires the embedding of code at the affiliate's website which then directs potential customers to the website of the company that is offering the product or service. When the customer makes a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission. It is that simple!

The internet has increased opportunities for savvy people to post links on their websites to promote affiliation programs and generate a stream of commission income as a primary or secondary income source.

Affiliate marketing has experienced some problems because of certain unsavory practices that undermine the effectiveness of the marketing programs and deprive real affiliates of their commission income. As a result some companies have streamlined and or outsourced their programs.

I will identify and only promote affiliation programs that provide effective tools or services that will enable associates and others to build their network marketing business.
