The Art and Business of Affiliate Marketing
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a type of marketing where an individual promotes another
person’s product or service and makes a commission from each sale. The affiliate
marketer has no responsibilities for the product quality, delivery or maintenance of
product – other than the moral responsibility to their customers of promoting
products of high value to them.
Why participate in Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing allows you the opportunity to work part-time or full time while
building a generous residual income.
“Residual income (also called passive or recurring income) is income that contin-
ues to be generated after the initial effort is expended.†-Marty Foley
Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest methods I know of to make money with
little or no startup costs and very little technology knowledge needed.
There are also effective low-to-no budget marketing methods available -- the
product owner is doing the major marketing to gain product or service exposure.
Affiliate marketing is something you can start immediately while you’re learning
to create your own products and websites.
Affiliate marketing is a revenue-generating activity that you can do while you build
your main Internet profit stream

Common Ways to Promote Affiliate Products
At this point I am just going to list some great ways that I feel you could concen-
trate on to promote your affiliate products when you are just beginning your Affili-
ate Marketing venture. In the following pages we will go into more details on the
ones that I feel would be best for a beginner to get started with.
List Promotions-By developing a relationship with your list, you can promote
items that you feel would be valuable to them.
Blogging- Blogging is another incredible way to promote affiliate products. Paid
blogs, where you purchase and host your own domain, are the most effective.
However, there are free alternatives that can also be effective.
