Affiliate Marketing

What is it?

Affiliate marketing is a way to earn money online by helping a business promote their product, service, or site. You are usually paid one of three ways:

Pay per Click – you are paid every time a reader clicks through to the site
Pay per Lead – you are paid every time a reader signs up for a specific program
Pay per Sale – you are paid every time a reader purchases something through your link

That’s great information… now, can you tell me how to get started. I’ve been interested for a while now, but just don’t know the “how tos”. Any way you can help me with that?

I too want to get started as I have lost my job. But as the previous person, I have no idea how or where to get started. Can you offer any guidance?
Thank you,
Cindy

Would love to know more about blogging. Is there any upfront cost that you will be out of pocket before you start bringing in money of your own?

Corrie @ "Cents"able Momma December 29, 2010 at 10:30 am: Sherry – if you start your blog using Blogger it’s free to start, so you can see if you like it first before you start spending any money out of your pocket.
