Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing where an individual promotes another person’s product or service and makes a commission from each sale. The affiliate marketer has no responsibilities for the product quality, delivery or maintenance of product – other than the moral responsibility to their customers of promoting products of high value to them. Why participate in Affiliate Marketing? Affiliate marketing allows you the opportunity to work part-time or full time while building a generous residual income. “Residual income (also called passive or recurring income) is income that continues to be generated after the initial effort is expended.” -Marty Foley Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest methods I know of to make money with little or no startup costs and very little technology knowledge needed. There are also effective low-to-no budget marketing methods available -- the product owner is doing the major marketing to gain product or service exposure.
