Steps To Start A Successful Affiliate Marketing
Niche affiliate marketing started after 1990 when Amazon started an "associate program"
that pays commission to those users who refer other people to buy books form Amazon website. Still this program is running successfully and includes thousands of different products since Amazon extended its business by selling other products too.
