Affiliate marketing is a kind of marketing model that requires you to promote another person's product in order to make money. You make money in affiliate marketing by getting a certain percentage for every sale you successfully make.
Take for example, if you are promoting someone's product and the price is $100 then the commission is about 40% then you are going to make $40 on every sale you make. If you are able to make about 10 sales then that is $400 on your pocket from that particular product.
There are a lot of platforms in which you can venture into and make money as an affiliate marketer like clickbank, jvzoo, digistore24, warriorplus and a whole lot of others. Affiliate marketing is getting popular on daily basis because of how lucrative it is but the thing is that majority of people who are new in affiliate marketing find it very difficult to make money.
If you want to go into affiliate marketing, you focus on building your traffic around the niche you want to venture into by having a YouTube channel or having a blog. Opening a YouTube channel is one of the best ways in which you can succeed as an affiliate marketer if you are able to get a lot of views and subscribers.
