Many people new to internet marketing get started online with affiliate marketing, and others use article marketing to promote their website. Have you ever though of using article marketing as a sales tool, and applying that to affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is where you sell somebody else's product in exchange for a cut of the proceeds. Most successful affiliate marketing is of electronically deliverable goods, where no stock has to be held, and you do not have to purchase more supplies of a product after selling it. These goods can be sold over and over again without any overhead but advertising, and include items such as ebooks and software. Typical commissions are in the region of 50% and above.

Most affiliates sell their products using their own website and pay per click advertising. They pay every time a visitor clicks on their advert, whether that visitor makes a purchase or not, and many people who have not been savvy with their advertising campaigns have been badly burned through high advertising costs and low or even zero sales.

Others strive to get their websites optimized for the search engines, so that they can get free advertising in search engine listings. They will spend days and days trying to improve their web pages, and continually rewriting content to keep their sites fresh. They will wait months for their site to appear, and when it is eventually listed on a visible page of a search engine such as Google, it is too late. Their product is obsolete!
