Why be an Affiliate Marketer
• “Affiliate marketing is probably one of the quickest and cheapest (not the easiest) ways to start making money online as you don’t have to create any products yourself. You simply link up a buyer and a seller, and you take a commission on the sale that has been referred by you” (tipsandtricks-hq.com, 2014, para. 7).
• However, it is not automatic, it does require your input. How much time you can you devote to affiliate marketing?
