Are you interested in making money online, but you are not sure exactly how to accomplish this? Have you heard of affiliate marketing? So, what is affiliate marketing? There is an easy way to answer this question and there is a more in depth way. Here are both.

The easy way is the definition of affiliate marketing. It is when you work with another company as an independent contractor and they pay you a commission for the sales, leads, or clicks that you create. This is the easy definition, but it does not give you much to stand on.

It really is a much more complicated thing, but once you get the grasp of it you can make quite a bit of money. The problem with most beginning marketers is that they think they can purchase an ebook, learn the strategies and make a million dollars their first year.

This just is not going to happen. Marketing as an affiliate takes time to build up and requires work. You have to be willing to put in the work to get to where you want. There are many different forms of what is affiliate marketing including article marketing, classified advertising, pay per click search engines, search engine optimization, and many more.

The key is to pick and try a few advertising methods with a few products until you find something that works well for you. Once you find what works all you have to do is duplicate it over and over again.
