Affiliate marketing has such an air of scam. Sorry but it does. The first thing that comes to mind is someone selling get rich information on how to get rich.
It is why many companies are:
This sound all so constrictive, but it is not:
It actually increases your chances of someone buying something through your advertisement.
You will convert more people to buying your product if they know you or believe what you say/ write. If they don’t believe you then you have to make sure they believe someone.
That is the fundamental idea behind affiliate selling. You have to have trust in your affiliate promotional materials.
This page already assumes that you know what affiliate marketing is, however my definition is this:
"affiliate selling is a relationship between a producer and a seller. The seller obtains an audience to that product and receives a commission for a sale."
Now you might have realised that affiliate marketing is no where to be seen in the definition. It is because you are
Most affiliate sellers use the Internet. The Internet is a marketing tool. Articles, Pay Per Click, SEO are all types of marketing that you can do. To write the words, to write text, place pictures and to know your audience is selling. Admittedly the two cross over and it is because you are a business of one- doing everything by yourself.
There are multiple ways to find affiliate products- through companies like Clickbank who congregate lots of sellers. You pick the product you like and then you get customers to buy.
They buy through special links that tell the company that you generated that sale. Depending on the company they will give you a percentage of that sale.

You get your money when someone buys.
However, there are unsaid downsides:
That is the main issue with affiliate marketing. The competition. In the rush to get people to sell their product there can be no cap to how many people are selling the product. Some companies will limit the affiliates, many do not. And you can guarantee that someone will do something cheaper/ more expensive than you and lose profit just to get a sale- everyone can loose.
Couldnt think of a better title :)

Please note. Sometimes affiliate products suggest a brand new way of making top affiliate sales. Most are poor/ wrong. Some are old and in many of those cases the technique has gone as soon as the product has come out.
As a bonus tip. We won't be using any affiliate links.
