What is Affiliate Marketing?

This article explains what is affiliate marketing and which program you should chose to promote. I will write this mainly for beginners but it can help apprentice marketers as well.

So What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Basically explained that is when you start promoting someones products and when he gets a sale trough the link he gives you, you get commissions. This can vary from 4-5$ to thousands of $.  It can be anything from 1% to 90% (or even more)of the total price of the product depending on your agreement. Usually you get less commissions when you promote physical products (cars, motorcycles and everything you can think of) and a lot of commissions from digital stuff (e-books,software’s even pics) . The reason for this is that once you create a e-book for example you won’t have to write it again and again to sell it to many people. With physical products its not like that. They need to be created again and again so they can be sold and they require additional materials that’s why they have low commissions.  In my opinion better opportunity is promoting Digital stuff. (Guess Why?)
