Many – and I mean many – Internet marketers have gotten their start through affiliate marketing. Consider this – you can start making money without creating a product, without dealing with support nightmares and even without a website. And you can get started immediately. You get paid by bringing buyers to sellers. When they buy, you get a “piece of the action” -- called a commission. So, if a prospect buys a $50 product, and the product pays 50% commission – you will make $25. In other words, you are like a commission-only salesperson. Except that you don't have to do all the selling – or, often, much selling at all. You don't have to do take any “orders”. You don't have to meet prospects “face-to-face.” All you have to do, often, is simply introduce interested people to the product. And it all happens online.
