Introduction:

I was just reading in an E-book about the amazing concept of Affiliate Marketing and decided I needed to get this info out to as many people as possible.

We will take a short look at these three topics, the Who – What – Why, of Affiliate Marketing in reverse order.

The Why of Affiliate Marketing:

Whether it is extra income or full time income, one of the main reasons why, of course, is to make money.

A second reason would be to try out different niche markets and some marketing ideas you may have for those niche markets.

The What of Affiliate Marketing:

For some of you affiliate marketing is a mystery or at least a not completely understood concept. Let me explain it to you with a story.

Mr. Jones is a business owner and has a great product or service that you have ideally used yourself, or at least know someone who has, and you and/or your friend are highly satisfied with Mr. Jones product or service. Mr. Jones wants to expand his business sales, so he puts together a plan that allows people to refer customers to his business. When you refer someone to Mr. Jones, he has, as a part of his plan, a way to know who referred this new or returning customer. When the referral customer buys from Mr. Jones he sends you a check as a referral fee. All you did was refer the person. Mr. Jones took care of stocking and delivering the product and/or providing the service. He also handles all service requests, repairs, complaints and refunds.

Now is that a cool, no brainer, way to make some extra cash or what!

We actually do this all the time in our everyday life.

We just don’t get paid for it.

Like when we tell someone to go see this great movie or to try this wonderful restaurant, etc.

The Who of Affiliate Marketing:

Those who market their products or services on the World Wide Web use this concept of Affiliate Marketing extensively.

If you have products or services to sell you can expand your sales with this concept. Or find a niche market you have a great interest in and start an on-line business using the affiliate marketing concept.

If you want to, you can sign up as an affiliate for any number of products and services, generating for yourself some potentially serious part time income.
