What is an affiliate?
An affiliate is an individual/company with a webpage that earns commission by placing a banner/text ad from an advertiser on their site. An affiliate can either get paid per click (CPC), per lead (CPL), or per sale (CPS).
Affiliate Marketing and You
If you have a website or a blog, you can earn money by advertising a company and/or it's products on it. This does NOT mean is that just by having a website and advertising on it you will automatically earn money. Your website/blog requires visitors (traffic) who will click on the links/ads and complete a sale. There are various ways to increase the amount of traffic visiting your site but, most importantly, do what you love to do - update you blog/site often. Keeping you site up-to-date and fresh will not only encourage return visits but it will also increase search engine activity on your site which in turn will increase the amount of new visitors to your site.
