The Hands Down Fastes Way to Make Money Online by Dane Clark

Are you a complete beginner? Do you want to start making some serious money online? Are you ready for me to unveil the secret to serious online money? The name of the game is affiliate marketing and basically affiliate marketing is a simple marketing technique used by so many companies that you can’t count them without taking off your sox and shoes. The companies allow others to promote their products and in return they pay out affiliate commissions that sometimes can be as high as 75%. Affiliate marketing is win win for everyone, the companies increase their sales and the affiliates make money from their websites and affiliate links.

I am sure you are now asking the big question, how is affiliate marketing actually done? There are several ways affiliate marketers can be paid and at times this depends on the actual product. The most common way is to pay a commission based on the sales that an affiliate marketer generates as I explained above. For example, if people click through from your site to the product site and then buy the product you will get a percentage of the sale. This is really what traditional affiliate marketing is all about. However, with the constant evolution of the Internet, new methods of paying affiliates have become possible.

You can be paid for providing leads. This means that each person who fills out a form for more information on a product (a good example is insurance or credit card applications) the company acknowledges that you provided this lead and you are then paid. Or you may also be paid by the click. Getting paid by the click, means that certain ad networks will pay you for posting an ad on your site and when someone clicks on the ad you will get paid. I actually recommend sticking with the more traditional affiliate model because the sale of a product will always pay out more than a single click.

Hands down affiliate marketing is the best business online. No matter if you are a beginner or have had a site for 10 years you need to implement it into your marketing strategy because it will generate many sales. Do remember that you want to find the best products before you find the best commission because your customers want good products not terrible ones that can ruin your credibility.
