Why?  That’s because you are going to be presented with the golden key to the secret door that opens to a world that could potentially change your life forever…for the better, of course.

So, let’s get started.

For the Newbie

This section of my blog is dedicated to you, the beginner, who hasn’t got the slightest clue of what affiliate marketing is. This is where I’m going to give an overview of affiliate marketing and try to make it super simple for you to understand.

As for you, the `experienced’ affiliate marketer, you may just skim over the ‘newbie’ parts here, and dive straight to the main stuff towards the end of this blog.

My Journey Into Affiliate Marketing

I remember the time when I left the corporate world a few years ago and decided to tip-toe into the unfamiliar world of online business. I knew nuts about the business back then and my initial thoughts of it were that it was just buying and selling stuff over the internet for a huge profit…and living happily ever after. Well, I soon realized that it was not as easy as I thought it would be.

I struggled for a while, learning the ropes of the game and stumbling many times along the way. It was then I came across the term `Affiliate Marketing’. Obviously, I didn’t have the slightest clue of what it was.

After spending some time researching and studying this subject, I was hooked on its potential as a money generator.

So, I can understand how confusing it might be for a beginner to be fed with jargon like vendor, publisher, affiliate network, SEO, affiliate program, CPA-marketing, auto-responder, and so on. No, I’m not going to delve into those topics here. I’ll save them for a separate article.

What Affiliate Marketing Is, Really?

A search on the internet produces several variations of the affiliate marketing definition.

For example, Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, defines it this way :

“Affiliate Marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one of more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliates own marketing efforts.“

Source: Wikipedia

Another definition, appearing on the website of one Neil Patel, a dude popular in the digital marketing circle, puts it this way :

“Affiliate marketing is the process of earning a commission by promoting other people’s [or company’s] products. You find a product you like, promote it to others and earn a piece of the profit for each sale that you make.“

I think the image below says it all in a nutshell.

 

The Popularity of Affiliate Marketing

Of the many Make-Money-From-Home ideas that one could indulge in, Affiliate Marketing has sky-rocketed in popularity in the past few years,  not only with newbies but also amongst seasoned internet marketers all over the world.

In fact, more and more internet marketing gurus and coaches are jumping on this wave to promote their courses, especially relating to affiliate marketing, either directly or indirectly. You can find them on numerous YouTube channels and websites promoting Affiliate Marketing as the best online business.

Why Is Affiliate Marketing Popular?

 This is simply because :

1. it’s the perfect business, especially for beginners with no skills and no money;
2. It is the easiest and fastest way to start an online business;
3. there’s no need to spend any money to buy and stock up on products. You’ll only need to promote someone else’s product or service;
4. there’s no need to go through the hassle of packaging and shipping. All that will be taken care of by the owner of the product or service;
5. there’s no need to handle customer support, like complaints and refund requests relating to products sold. Those too will be handled by the respective owners of the product or service;
6. it can be done from anywhere in the world, meaning you can make money online home and away;
7. it is a great opportunity to earn passive income from multiple streams. In other words, you can, as they often say in affiliate marketing circles, make money while you sleep.
