What is Affiliate Marketing – Simple Explanation

Affiliate Marketing is an attractive way of making a lot of money without any investment or special skill. It is very simple. You have to promote a brand, service, product etc. It is just like telling your friend that you have an account with eBay and you have purchased your camera / mobile from eBay. It was easy and profitable purchase and you got the correct material. Your friend will visit that site and buy an item and you will get a few dollars as commission for your referral. Internet has its own methods to track the person’s details.
There are thousands of companies offering Affiliate services. You just have to enroll with one of them and start selling an item. Select an item that suits your stream of activities and make a jump start. It will work best with your site and products. If you are supplier of building materials and your site displays building materials other items you can be an affiliate for interior designer or garden designer. This will work very well for you. People comes to your site looking for building material will also need some interior decorator or garden designer and he will follow the link and you will get the commission for that sail. Also you can approach the interior designer to help you to get more traffic to your site. This is called link exchange. Try one and find that how your business grow. 
I have joined many firms as affiliate and earning some amount by way of commission. You can also try the sites and enroll yourself. If your stream of work is related to money and financial services go to Forex. If your interests are different and you are working with different friends go to Affiliate Boat where you can find a variety of openings and select one.
