So, forget selling because we do not want to do that.
Let us now dissect these two words ... affiliate and marketing.
Sounds really technical does it not?
What is an affiliate?
An affiliate is nothing more than someone who partners with a company that is selling products and services online. there are thousands of companies that offer "affiliate partner programs" you can join absolutely free and the merchant will pay you for sending customers there way.

An affiliate really does nothing more than help people looking for things online to find the companies providing what they want. Sounds simple and it really is once you know some very basic and free techniques of finding people online that want or need what your partner is selling.
Now we know about "affiliate" so let is talk about that word "marketing"
I do not really like this word in the context of what we are doing but it does represent the fact that we are helping our partner companies "market" what they are selling.
It is a word that people usually refer to having to sort sort of formal "marketing training" to be able to understand. This is true to an amount but the training is something anyone can get and apply very easy.
What we are really doing is identifying segments of people that would be interested in what our partner companies have to offer by researching online search trends and placing information in front of those people via search engines.
