A popular way on the internet is to create an information product, and sell it by creating a website. However, not all of us are able to create an information product and/or are computer savvy.
One of the new ways is to launch into internet marketing and be an
affiliate. What is an affiliate? It is basically a way to act as a
middle man on-line between sellers and buyers. The affiliate earns a
commission which comes from the Affiliate Network they choose to work
with.
There are a few Affiliate Networks around, the famous ones being ClickBank, and PayDotCom. Each Affiliate Network have many sellers and many affiliates. Sellers are drawn to the Affiliate Networks as their products are sold by affiliates rather than having to produce marketing systems to reach their potential markets. The affiliates are assured of their commissions when a sale is made as buyers pay the Affiliate Network rather than the sellers.
It is free to join most of the Affiliate Networks and the affiliate commission can be as high as 75% of the sale. The advantage of this for those who are not computer savvy is that you do not need to set up an ordering, processing, and payment system. You are also not involved with customer complaints, keeping inventory, or shipping.

Importantly, the costs and risk are minimal. If the product that you choose to promote is not making money, move on to another product - it is as easy as that! For those of you without a website, you will need to write reviews, articles, or blogs about the product you are promoting, and provide coded links from the Affiliate Network. When someone clicks on these coded links, they will be taken to the website of the product. If a buyer buys because of your recommendation, you will be paid a commission from the Affiliate Network.
The number of subscribers to the internet is growing at an astronomical rate. People from all over the world are getting access to quicker broadband internet; as such, this is a growing opportunity to get into internet marketing, and earn extra money. Remember, you have to sleep, the internet is always "on". So this is how you can make money 24 hours a day!
