What is Affiliate Marketing?

This is how it works. You create your own website. On this website you place links to other merchants who sell products that visitors to your website are interested in.

If a visitor clicks on a link on your site that redirects the visitor to a merchant's site and he or she buys something, you make a commission on the sale of the product. Commissions can range anything from 1% to 50% or more, depending on the contract that you agree on with the Online Merchant.
