Affiliate marketing is a common Internet based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer that is brought about by the affiliates marketing efforts.  As an example let's say you have a web site or blog about the sport of golf.  Viewers come to your web site because of the information and content that you have on your site. You can become an affiliate for companies like Callaway and others, and put banners or links on your web site about those companies and the products they sell. Your own unique affiliate code number is in bed at in that banner or link that tracks that the customer has come up from your web site when that customer makes a purchase you receives a commission on that sale.

Affiliate marketing programs allow for you to sell and offer products to your visitors on your web site without having to stock any inventory, invest in any inventory, ship any product, or handle any customer service.  It is one of the easiest ways to make money on line.
