The subject of internet marketing is very confusing. The terms that you have to learn can be overwhelming. I have spent hours trying to figure out which way was up. I'm going to go over some of the types of internet marketing. There are so many ways to promote, I just want to go over the definitions with you:
Website Promotions: If you want to you can make your own website. You can get your own domain name by going to godaddy or some of the web hosting sites also give you a package deal where you can pay for hosting and they throw in the domain name for free. It gives you a certain satisfaction in creating your own website. You can make it anyway you want. If you don't know how to go about doing this, you can put your ideas up on free sites such as weebly.com and blogger.com. It's free and they have great templates to use.

In most cases this action would be purchasing a product. Each affiliate is provided a unique link for them so they can be rewarded when the action is performed.
Pay per click (PPC) is an advertising model used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites/blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an ad to visit the advertiser's website.
