I’m new! What’s this “Affiliate Marketing” thing and how does it work?

If you’re new to Affiliate Marketing, you may well be finding everything a bit confusing. There are lots of terms people use, lots of complicated software, and it’s easy to feel like you don’t know where to start.

So here’s a five-minute guide to the very basics of Affiliate Marketing!

The Make Money Online Business

There are thousands of ways to make money on the Internet.

But they all boil down to one simple formula:

(Thing To Sell + People Who Might Want It) * Telling The People About The Thing = $$$$$

Unfortunately, on the Internet, it’s no longer very easy to persuade people to try things, even if they are free.

That’s where we come in.

A lot of businesspeople are willing to pay a bounty for trial registrations – in other words, for getting people to sign up to a website for free.

That’s known as “CPA” – Cash Per Action”.

If you can make adverts that persuade people to sign up to a website that’s paying a bounty like that, you can make a lot of money.

And that’s just what we’ll teach you to do.
