Question: “What exactly is the definition of an affiliate marketer?” you ask.

Answer: Take, for example, you have a web site, or even a MySpace or About Me Page, or a Blog. You direct people to your Page and interest them in a product that is in a niche market that you know all about.

OK, well and good.

They go to your page and as any good salesperson, you build up the product until they feel they cannot live without it. All they need is to click on the little link on your Page, and it takes them to where they can buy the product.

So, it takes them to Amazon.com, Clickbank, or Commision Junction where they find the product they want. They buy the product.

And now you are an official affiliate marketer for Amazon or Clickbank or whoever. And you will receive a commission check for the product your person just bought.

Sounds simple doesn’t? Well, yes and no. Many newbie internet affiliate marketers and other budding online prodigies spend years spinning their wheels before they make money. Occasionally you will find good programs, even diamonds in the rough that can help you find success.
