Affiliate marketing is a way for website owners to earn extra money though their site. there are tons of ways to do this but i'll give you the top three.

1. pay per click-every time a consumer clicks on a link withing a merchants website this earns the web owner money and it could be pennies or dollars that will be deposited into the affiliates account. (tip: you must have your own website and domain name.)

2. Pay per sale-every time a consumer visits a website and buys a product that may be promoted the affiliate gets a commission or percentage. It all depends on what affiliate program that you are using.

3. Pay per lead-every time a consumer registers for your site or a product on you site this is called pay per lead or opt in. The affiliate earns a commission off of this too. You could get anywhere from $1.00 per lead to $10.00 per lead and more. Just imagine if you had 1,000 leads a month? At ten dollars per lead you would be making ten grand a month. wow!

Now i know what i said above sounds good and it is. But i wan't you to know this is not over night income it takes time and in some cases it may take you a little money to make money. Don't worry it's usually under 20 dollars. Depending on your budget and how you want to market you could spend more to get guaranteed traffic and see better result. It comes back to you ten times fold. I always tell individuals that ask how do you make money online and if you have to spend money it's a scam to not be afraid to invest in themselves. You are your own business promote yourself and your products and you will see the income rolling in. Just think about it. Say you want to own a store or start an insurance company. You would need a building for that and then you would need insurance on that building not to mention rent and utilities. See where i'm coming from? You just spent money to get a business started. Say i want to own a Mcdonalds or Walmart, i would have to buy into that franchise and get trained their way to do things before i could make any profit. They are not just going to give me a store and the same way falls when it comes to affiliate marketing. Yeah there are many affiliate programs where you don't have to spend money to join and you can promote products for free at many placesa but how sure are you that you will make income without having your own site or blog? Many people can steal your leads and commissions this way. Having your own domain name, blog, website etc, is a powerful thing. Me personally i spent about 500 over a year to get started and it's paying off. i'm glad to say i see 3 grand in my account from the products that i promote every month and it gets higher the more you work. i work part time. maybe 4 hours per day and i work hard and you can too.
