Make Money From Home
With thelatest numbers from the Broad of Labor Statistics continuing to show unemployment figures in the U.S. to be between 15 and 22 million. People will need to look for new ways to make a living and affiliate marketing is gaining in popularity. It allows people to work from home and be their own boss, which is good if you will disciplineyourself to work a few hours each day.
Affiliate marketing is a business relationship with a merchant or service provider who allows you to link to that business as a affiliate marketer. When a visitor clicks on the link at your site and subsequently makes a purchase from the merchant, you receive a commission based on the amount of the sale.
The merchant may be selling a product or a service, or they may be trying to sign on clients to buy magazines. The merchant pays you a commission or referral fee once the visitor has completed the desired action.
The merchant knows that the visitor is from you because you link to the merchant's site through a special affiliate link. This link is unique to you and you alone. Other affiliates will have their own special affiliate link which is different from yours. Although different affiliate marketers for the same product have different, unique affiliate links, all these links point to the same website, the merchant's website.
The affiliates goal is to simply to drive as much targeted traffic as possible to his/her own unique affiliate link. Affiliates accomplish this by advertising, writing blogs, and using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to accomplish this
The beauty of this is, once your site is up and running, you can continue to earn money from it whether you are in bed, on holiday or sleeping. The money you earn is passive income because after the initial effort of researching your chosen market, building a website and setting up your campaign, you can continue to earn from this with very minimal day to monitoring.
