What is Affiliate Marketing?

In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is an arrangement between an online merchant and affiliate (you), in which the affiliate earns a commission for generating sales, leads and/or clicks for the merchant's web site.

For example, many credit card companies will pay you between $5 and $20 in commission for each visitor that you send to their site who completes a credit card application, and up to $55 for those whose applications are approved.

That's a great commission, and although many companies pay less, there are also many companies that pay much MORE!

Here's another example.

If you promote this software called HyperVRE which is $147 dollars , if people buy it,they will pay you %30 commission,that is almost $50 dollars.

"Fantastic!", you say.

You're absolutely right!

How much you will earn depends in part on the products you choose to sell, and if you are a beginner in affiliate marketing,be sure to check out Super Affiliate Handbook ,it will show you exactly how to find the best companies and products to promote.
