Affiliate Marketing is the most popular way to promote someone elses, or your own, product or service. People are paid whenever something is sold in this format. So if you sell an information product, and you were working with affiliates, you would pay them to deliver sales to you…sounds awesome right?

This form of marketing is one of the newest/ most popular forms of income and has helped many people create an income from the comfort of their home. The main objective is to get someone to buy or submit a specific action and you will get paid by the “advertiser” or “vendor” who is supplying the information or service. If you get involved with this, you’ll see how there is so much potential in this industry because the money that you will be capable of making with even just 1 sale is insane compared to traditional marketing methods.

There are three ways that you will be able to compensate or be compensated.

#1: CPC (Cost Per Click) – This is a relatively popular way to market products, in which you get paid very little JUST to drive clicks to certain offer. I wouldn’t suggest starting with this method because you wouldn’t have to drive certain types of traffic, and it limits your niche ability.

#2: CPS or Cost-Per-Sale – This is the #1 way in which all programs are marketed. The industry for Cost Per Sale advertiser grows every 10 seconds and is making a TON of people loads of money. Often times, Affiliate marketers make more selling products than big time CEO’s make. This is no joke, and I would highly suggest taking this course when marketing or looking to have others market your products.

#3: CPL (Cost Per Lead) – Now, a lead can be anything but mostly refers to the acquisition of a potential clients information. Whether that’s their Zip code, cell phone number, name, email address…the list goes on and on honestly. I think this is the best way to get started, you get great payouts often times (if you are in the right CPA Network) and this ads up quickly and relatively easily.
