Jessica Mele — Why Should You Start as an Affiliate Marketer if you Want to Have an Online Business?

Affiliate marketing is an incredible way to start making money online. What is affiliate marketing? It’s how a company “rewards” someone for sending sales (or sometimes even leads) to them.

Simply put, you send traffic via special links to a company’s website. You’ll get paid when anyone buys a product at that website. It doesn’t even have to be the product you sent them to. It’s that simple, and can help you earn enough money to pay a few of your bills, or can even become a full time income.

Here are some reasons why you should try affiliate marketing:

It’s Affordable and Easy to Get Started

Affiliate marketing is free, as there are no costs to get started. They pay you, you definitely don’t pay them. First you find a product that you’d like to promote. Then you get permission from the company to promote their products. They’ll give you special links to use. You post those links online — on social media, in emails you send out, on your website, or wherever else you can think of. Then, you get paid whenever someone buys something through those links.

The only cost(s) that you can incur is if you’d like to start your own website or blog, then you’ll need hosting and a domain
