In affiliate marketing, you do not need a product of your own. Instead, you market the products of other merchants for a percentage of the sales. Each time you make a sale, you earn a commission. This model is very simple, but it has allowed many affiliates to make large amounts of money.

The affiliate commissions you earn are dependent on the agreement you sign when you become an affiliate for a particular merchant. Some merchants split the sale down the middle while others give you a percentage. These percentages can range from seven percent or higher. Always seek out merchants that offer high percentages.

There are factors that affect affiliate conversion rates too. The type of quality of traffic that you drive to the merchant's website plays a significant role. The more targeted the traffic is, the better the merchant's offer will convert into a sale. Quality traffic is described as targeted traffic tightly related to the keyword that a visitor used to get to your website.

Merchants for affiliates are everywhere. There is no limit to the type or kind of affiliate programs that you can join. As an example, if you like furniture, there are tons of merchants with all types of lighting, bedding, tables and accessories to match your desire to promote these types of programs. There is something for everyone in affiliate marketing.

If you want to get started in affiliate marketing, you will have to learn more about it. Just search for affiliate marketing courses, programs and guides in Google, Yahoo or MSN. There are plenty of sites online that have lots of free content on the subject of affiliate marketing. Ask around in the forums for recommendations.

Once you have gone through a reliable course, just take the next step and get your affiliate business going. It will not cost you much to get started. You should have a dedicated website to promote affiliate offers but it is not required. You can sign up for free websites like Word Press and many others and use them instead.

There is no limit to how much you can make as an affiliate. Your success is all dependent on how much you commit to getting things done. Once you have all of the basics down, there is nothing that can stop you. Affiliate marketing can change your life just as it has so many others.
