Hey! I just got into the blogging business. I have some questions, which I don't know answers to. I want to know, what people mean, when they say 'affiliate link'? I read on a blog, and i wasn't sure what it meant. Also, people get sponsored reviews, and make money from that? How does that work? Can someone please explain this to me. It would be greatly appreciated!
Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing And this diagram: http://payperpost.com/bloggers/marketplace.html
If you haven't already visited this site, I highly recommend the free advice given at ProBlogger. Lots of good stuff there.
After learning about what it is, you're probably not going to click any aff links in the future. But keep in mind, you can do the same thing and make money from it, so make sure you master affiliate marketing.
