    It's marketing other people products in order to get paid a commission on each sale. I'm pretty sure you can get up to date with the expression by looking it up on wikipedia for a start.

    Best strategies would be build a wordpress blog around your chosen niche. Then find affiliate networks to work with. Like clickbank, amazon, CJ, etc.

    Basically you are simply trying to provide informative information regarding products that people want to buy or learn more about. If you are lucky and get in a good position on google, you will see traffic which leads to people clicking on your ads more. After people make a purchase on the merchant's site you earn a commission percentage which varies per merchant.

    It can be treated just like a regular brick and mortar business if treated properly. You just won't have to deal with returns, inventory, etc.

    hi
    people usually find success in affiliate marketing after testing several programs or systems. it is a case of researching, learning and optimising as you go, but it is best to market something you're interested and comfortable with from which you can offer your personal review and experience on. another suggestion would be to make it easy for visitors to contact you for any questions, which in turn will give them more confidence and trust to buy from your site

    Build a website. And be aware that your first website will fail, in that it won't do that well. But the more you do it, the better you will become at it.
