    OK so this is what i THINK i know about making money through affiliates, i would like you all to correct me where im wrong / other methods.

    Sign up with an affiliiate network. Pick sites that you want to affiliate with.

    Essentially when somebody pays that site through your customized URL they give you a % of the sale back, depending on the % rate.

    Now comes where i get a little bit confused.

    Is it a good idea to just lets say run a facebook ad for a certain ammount, and hopefully people when they click the ad, buy the serviace / product?

    Or is it better to put it on my website. I really dont see how somebody would pay 25$ or anything of the sort, when you can virtually find anything for the internet for free... Maybe these people are just dumb? lol


    Thats where im confused.

    Please let me know the ins- and - outs so i can get started and hopefully get more knowladge of the internet ( not really in it for the money, more for the knowladge and information i can gain out of it for future use ).

    Thanks
