If you have ever searched for information or products related to your interest on the Internet you have most likely come into contact with an Affiliate Marketer without even being aware of it. You may have even purchased a product through an Affiliate Marketer without even knowing it.

Even Google AdSense can be considered as an Affiliate Program even though it isn’t technically called that. EBay has an Affiliate Program, as does Microsoft. There is an Affiliate Program available for just about any product that you can imagine.

Affiliate Marketing presents a win-win-win situation. The owner or maker of the product being sold is making money. The Affiliate Marketer is making money, and the customer is getting what they want or need. Everybody wins. Affiliate Marketing has also been around for longer than you might think.

Many people think that affiliate marketing started sometime after the Internet came into existence. This is wrong. Amway, Avon, Mary Kay – all of these are essentially Affiliate Programs, but the people who were actually doing the Affiliate Marketing were called Distributors or Representatives – and they are still called Distributors or Representatives to this day.

Affiliate Marketing can even include Network Marketing. Affiliate Marketing is the act of selling a product for a commission. Network Marketing also involves selling a product for a commission, but also focuses on bringing other resellers (or Affiliate Marketers, Distributors or Representatives) into the program as well. Many Affiliate Marketing Programs provide incentives for you to not only promote their products or services but to promote the Affiliate Program as well.

Although Affiliate Marketing is different things to different people, the goal is the same – to make money. Affiliate Marketing offers you the opportunity and ability to make money without creating a product of your own, without having to deliver the product and without having to provide any customer service; an Internet Marketers dream come true.
