Just What is Affiliate Marketing and Why Become an Affiliate Marketer?
Many times you will have seen previously in this series that we have mentioned affiliate marketing as a great way of setting up an internet home based business. In this post we will provide a more in depth look at what it is exactly.
Affiliate Marketing is a method of promoting a product in which an affiliate is then rewarded for every visitor, subscriber, customer and/or sale provided through their efforts to the actual company selling the product.
