Affiliate Marketing - Passive income

“Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts”

When you join an Affiliate program and choose the products that you want to sell, sellers provide you with a unique affiliate code that you can use to refer traffic to the target site. Most affiliate programs will offer ready made text links, banners and other forms of creative copies whereby you only have to copy the code and place it on your website to start referring traffic. When interested visitors click on these links from your site they get redirected to the product site and if they purchase a product or subscribe to a service you as the referrer make a commission.

Both eBay and Amazon offer affiliate programs where you can choose a product you want to promote, then earn off of the sales you essentially make.

It is an advantage to already have a website, or a social media platform with a large following, this could even work here on steemit!

Affiliate marketing is considered to be one of the world’s fastest growing and best internet marketing techniques to earn money online and there is no risk to it! It's great because you don't have to worry about making the product, delivering the product, and you don't even have to think about faulty products and returns. Once you have a website with high traffic or a large following on social media, you can make some easy passive income.
