Affiliate Marketing for beginners One of the fastest and easiest ways for people (even complete beginners) to start making some decent income online these days is to become an affiliate for someone else's products or services. This means that you get paid a commission for every person you send to a vendor offer who subsequently buys their product or service. As an affiliate, one of the benefits, is of course, that you don't have to create your own product, which would, most often, cost you both time and money. Instead your job is to send as many visitors to the vendors offer as possible. The more people you send to look at the offer, the more likely you are to make a sale for the vendor and gain a commission. If the offer you promote has a recurring income element, such as a membership program or subscription etc, then dependent on the offer, you will likely make a commission every month for as long as the person subscribes to the service.
