Up On Main Street

Here is some of the things I have learned on my journey in Affiliate Marketing.

Part 1. Overview

There are many types of affiliate marketing. Buying products, Buying services, pay per click, pay per impressions just to name a few.

For people that do not know what affiliate marketing is.

If you have web site, blog, send a lot of e-mail, then you become a “salesperson” for a company.

You would sign up with a company that you would like to market their products. Then you would add a link, banner or picture into your website, blog or e-mail that would be coded with a special code that tells that company that you are the person that sent another person to them.

If that person buys a product or service from that company, then you would get a percentage. I have seen anywhere from 5 – 75%.

If you are looking to “get rich quick” this would not be it.

I am a member of a few affiliate forums that deal only with that topic and even though I have seen people state that they have quit their day job and do this full time…..it usually is over years that they have built their “company” up.

Affiliate Marketing is not for everyone. It does take hard work. If you are willing to put in the time and sometimes a little money, you can earn extra income.
