How can I make money on line with Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is like any business. It takes time and determination. Like any business you must be prepared to work hard.

But what is it?

It is a program where you earn commissions by selling other companies products. You build a business on line and people buy from your website.

There are a lot of people who have made Affiliate marketing their sole source of income. It can be very profitable, however you must work hard. This is not a get rich quick scheme.
