Publisher's summary

Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing in which an organization rewards its affiliates for bringing in customers or visitors through the affiliates' marketing efforts conducted independently of the organization itself.

Most businesses in the world want to grow and increase their revenues by getting more customers. There are several ways they can accomplish this. The first way is to find customers willing to pay for the products or services that these businesses are selling. They can spend a fortune on advertising, or they can get someone else to get customers for them.

Let's say a business is willing to pay $40 for every sale. This means that it can either spend money on marketing or pay it to its affiliates via commissions.

Affiliate marketing can be one of the quickest ways to make money on the Internet. To get started with affiliate marketing, you do not need a website, a list of customers or a product. You can simply get an affiliate link, start promoting it and start making cash immediately.

Most of the biggest merchants on the Internet, including Amazon, do have affiliate programs. This means that using affiliate marketing you can participate in the sales of some of the hottest products on the Internet even though it is someone else who has created those products.

Affiliate marketing is also a great way to get started with marketing on the Internet. A lot of people don't try selling something online because they erroneously believe that they need to create a product or a service first. However, this is simply not true. You do not have to create anything. You can simply do some research, find out what sells well and start selling and advertising it, too. This way you do not have to spend countless hours creating or sourcing products but can start making money and learning Internet marketing by doing very quickly.

Finally, affiliate marketing is a great way to add streams of income to already existing businesses. If you have a business, the fact that your customers are buying from you means that they trust you and that they value what you have. You have a relationship with your customers that you can expand using affiliate marketing, recommend products or services and make money in the meantime.

For example, if you sell information products to a certain business niche about becoming more successful by making marketing measurable, you can become an affiliate and start selling software that helps your clients accomplish their goals. You could also sell them products and services that help them run their businesses. If you also teach personal productivity, you could be selling vitamins and supplements. The list of the things that you could do is virtually unlimited.

Very informative.

I'm just getting into YouTubing and this helps out a lot!! It is simple to understand and very informative. Now I must learn search engine optimization.

Helpful

The book is very helpful and informative on the basics of what’s really “necessary” for the masses, but it could be a little better. It just seems very basic to me. I guess once I get in-depth into putting the work into marketing, it will become a bit clearer, with a better understanding to me. I will give it another listen, as I get more into the business. Perhaps, I could have missed a few things.
