Posted By: zsandeep | Posted On: 2008-11-15 | Article ID: 115659

If you are new to affiliate marketing, this is a real eye opener for you. Affiliate programs are certainly the best choice for anyone who is just getting started online.

Here's why

* No need to create a product of your own.
* There's virtually no overhead or cost of goods sold.
* You have no products to ship or inventory to track.
* You don't have to handle credit card transactions.
* You don't have to handle refunds or customer support.

You don't have to create a huge website with a shopping cart.

All you have to do is refer people to a merchant's website through your personal affiliate link. When someone clicks on your link, you get a percentage of the profits on anything your customer buys.
What exactly is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is the promotion of products sold by a merchant in exchange for commission-based compensation.

But working as an online affiliate, you don't have to wear a suit or drag a briefcase of samples around with you! In fact, once you build your strategy for making money through affiliate programs, you won't even have to think about it anymore -- except when it comes to deciding how to spend the money you've made.

It's a win-win situation for both parties:
The merchant makes money without any up-front advertising cost (they only pay you if you generate a sale).

You make money without the hassles of running a business.

And everything is 100% automated. Sales and commissions are tracked automatically through web links and cookies and you receive a check or PayPal payment at the end of the month.

Second, you'll need an HTML editor and a site template. Obviously, you need some content to put on your site. And unless you want to spend time learning HTML, you'll need a template to use.
