Affiliate Marketing Makes The Most Dollars And Cents

By Rudy Martinez


While you can easily find thousands of ideas for making some extra cash online one of the oldest and best sources of generating income on the web is still affiliate marketing. All kinds of business opportunities come and go these days but affiliate marketing is the proven standard. It goes all the way back to the earlier days of Amazon. Amazon had the bright idea of allowing other people to sell their products for a percentage of the profits and it caused their business to literally explode.

Affiliate marketing is about selling other people stuff for a commission and it is by far one of the most reliable and easiest ways to generate a residual cash flow on the web. Affiliates don't have to worry about customer service, product delivery, merchant accounts, returns, shipping or any of that stuff. Affiliates simply promote products and services and wait for the checks to come in.

Make no mistake about it affiliate marketing is not like most of the other so-called business opportunities available online. Some of the most respected companies in the world are now using affiliate marketing to promote their products and services. Typically affiliates look for products or services that relate to interest that they have. People are usually more excited about selling within a niche that they already know o something about.

The key is to look for opportunities that sell high-quality products people want to buy in that also have profitable commission plans. You will see a very wide range of commission plans with different affiliate programs. The range of commissions can range anywhere from 2 to 3% to up to 50% premium product or service. Retail products tend to have low profit margins and the commission sharing usually anywhere from 3% to 10%. Digital Products for example can pay commissions up to 50 or even sometimes 75% and on the vendor.

Starting an online business affiliate marketing doesn't require much of an investment goal is something that you can work at your own pace within a niche that you find interesting. Take your time to look at the various options available. Research the companies carefully and then go for.
