First of all we are very thankful to all our readers for all those encouraging comments. Today we are going to take you through another way of making money online and that is affiliate marketing. So what is affiliate marketing ?. Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice where a person who is also known as an affiliate who brings in leads to a merchant who pays the affiliate for the lead. Mind you the money in affiliate marketing is huge. So how do you become an affiliate well that’s simple there are many websites who allow you to join them as an affiliate marketer. Below are the two best affiliate websites.
1) Click bank
Both have vast categories of products spanning from health to luxury products. You could choose which product you would like to market. Both are free to sign up affiliate networks.The best thing about our site is we just don’t show you where the money is but also guide you how to earn it. So let see after signing up for an affiliate network how can you earn money. Let me take you through an example.
Sammy is a guy he read our post and signs up at clickbank now next he goes through the categories of products listed on clickbank and zeroes in on Paleo Recipe Book – Brand New Paleo Cookbook which falls under Cooking, Food & Wine category. Now you will ask why did he choose this product well Sammy thinks he could sell this off easily as he has a blog which his wife’s writes which is about exotic recipes and has decent number of visitors coming to check out the blog. Nice so now Sammy will put a link of this product on this blog and when any visitor to this blog will go to that link and buy the product Sammy will get a commission from the total sale amount. Once you short list a product to promote you will get a link containing your affiliate id so that on a sale you get your commission. Now isn’t that easy well it is. Below is entire list of clickbank categories.

So you could choose what ever category that interests you. The only pain here is the traffic. The formula is simple “More Money = More Sales = More Visitors”. So you need a good traffic to send to the affiliate link which is the product which you have chosen to promote. There are 2 ways here. First build a site or blog on the category of the product which you have chosen and make it popular. This requires good content and regular posts and articles which can get tedious. Second use some affiliate marketing product which will teach you everything and even get you the money with minimal effort at your end. So where do you find such a product we will suggest you some of such products. Below is the list of some such products.
