How to Do Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is the process of selling goods and services as an affiliate. You earn commission that has been pre-decided by the seller or producer of the product. Today, affiliate marketing has become one of the major sources of income for bloggers and online entrepreneurs. It allows those with a huge network of online visitors to sell products for producers who would otherwise spend thousands of dollars to do so.

Decide on the niche you want to work in. Remember, you can never sell ‘every’ product as an affiliate marketer. Your website needs to be geared towards a certain niche in order to get massive traffic of visitors. A well optimised and targeted website is more lucrative for producers than a one with no direction.
