What is Affiliate Marketing? As an affiliate, you drive traffic through your web property to a vendor who, once the visitor has performed a certain action (buy or register), pays you a pre-determined commission. This is accomplished by using a unique link form your site to the vendors, thus providing the vendor with an indication of the source of the visitor. Therefore, the key to success in online marketing is to drive targeted traffic (interested and preferably a buyer, not browser) to the vendors sales or registration page. This then becomes a form of passive income for the online marketing affiliate as the site is operational 24 hours a day. With the best online marketing programs, a cookie is placed upon the visitors computer to say that they were directed from your site. This cookie will have a time limit, (stated on the vendors affiliate agreement), and if the visitor returns to the vendors site within the time limit then you still receive that commission. Online marketing has many advantages including: The ability to work from home or even be completely mobile. You do not buy, store, or even stock the product you sell. You do not ship or take responsibility for the customer service relating to the product. You can promote multiple products in various markets. For the vendor, it is a cheap source of advertising as they only have to pay if the required action or transaction is completed (conversion). However, despite what many people think, affiliate marketing takes time and effort to set up. It is not a get rich quick scheme. It will take several months to get your business to a productive level and constant (although minimal) attention after that. The great advantage of online marketing is that it is a constant stream of income which can continue to produce profit over the rest of your lifetime! You will still have to move with the times and update your business, but this can be easily done if your framework is solidly built from the start. So ideally, your aim should be to build, small at first, a solid online marketing business and then expand it to contain various products in several markets (niches), creating a continuous and sustainable income which with a lot of hard work and some wise decision making will provide you with multiple streams of income and total financial security & freedom.

Search Engine Optimisation & traffic generation. 5. Website analysis, management & maintenance Affiliate & online marketing has a proven track record and can be a very rewarding business.
