Today i am going to talk about one option you may think about .. Its laying under the keyword "Affiliation" ! But i must explain what does that mean exactly before moving to tell you what it is all about ?

Affiliation in the field of making money online is the magic word that means to drive sales and/or leads to someone's service and/or product(s) and share with him a part of the profit !

Basically, you are going to act as an intermediate between the provider and their potentials customers. Helping the company generating sales to their services/products by promoting them to the given potential buyers. The company will share revenue with you according to their affiliation system that you have to agree on it before start promoting them. The commission vary from system to another and from one offer to another. It goes from 1% up to 100% of revenues to share !!

Where to start from ?

To get started you need two main things to have. First, What to promote ? .. Second, Where/How to promote ?

But before answering those questions, let me give you the key statement on which affiliate is all about, and you have to remember it for life if you choose to succeed on this field:

Choose the right offer and promote it in the right place !

So, let's answer the first question .. What to promote ?
There is a plenty of affiliate programs out there and it is hard to pick the best one even for experts, because this step is crucial and fundamental.
Usually, most of the mega-companies like GoDaddy, HostGator, and so on, have their own affiliate program which you can join directly on their website. But as a beginner, i advice you to go with the second option which is to join one of the popular affiliate networks. Again, there is a lot of them but some are the leader of all. Thats why PeerFly is probably going to be your first place to try...

PeerFly contains a lot of high quality offers in most areas, from dating and gaming to product sales and many others.

Now, after joining the affiliate network and choosing the right offer to promote, what is next ?
Okay, so welcome to the big journey of "affiliate marketer". Your keyword all along this trip is "conversion" !
Actually, what you need to do next is go look for the potential customers and/or peoples how are interested on that offer. Whether is it a service to buy or a product to try, or even simply a form to fill .. your job is to "generate" those actions on the page that you have just got from the affiliate program using the affiliate link they give to you. Every time an action had recorded through your affiliate link we call that a conversion and you will get reward for it!

There is a lot of method to promote offers, some of them are free but some others are paid. We will cover this on details on the next related post .. keep learning :)
