For those of you who don’t know affiliate marketing is one of the many ways people earn money online. A company that wants to advertise their product pays people to do it. Basically people advertise their products and whenever they make a sale they get a commission from the sale, if I had to compare it to anything, I’d compare it to girl scouts selling there girl scout cookies. They are given a percent of the sales.

All right, now we know what affiliate marketing is, now how in the world are we supposed to make money with it online? Well it actually is easier than you would think, but its alot more detailed than it seems. Most likely you’ll see and understand the basics and quickly throw an ad on adwords, and you’ll do alright, you’ll think you’re making money and you’ll be excited, but then you’ll do the math and realize you’ve lost money. Like most normal people, this will make you freak out and you’ll stop everything immediately and never go back again, but that’s just part of the process.

You see with proper tweaking, and patients, and a better thought out plan, you can actually become unbelievably successful with affiliate marketing, you just need to do alot of reading, and trust me when I say your head will start spinning after you’ve even read half of it, but don’t let that dishearten you, take your time, don’t rush into in full on, easy your way into it by practicing and in time getting good enough to make money. At first you may lose money, but you know what, I actually had fun during this process and so I just kinda thought, “You know what, I’m spending so much time on hear, its more like a hobby” and you know what, that’s the best way to look at it at first, because if you can convince yourself its a hobby and have fun with it, then you really can end up making money with your hobby.

I don’t want to waste your time regurgitating what I read off of the sites I read, because I still haven’t become supper wealthy with this yet, but I’m in the learning process to so I’ll throw down the link of the site I read to get started, along the way I’ll also throw down some updates of things I’ve learned along the way, but that will come later, when it happens.
