The Difference Between Getting Paid...And Not

Tweet

Have you ever recommended a product to your friends, family members or co-workers? Perhaps the latest gadget, jersey or cooking utensil? If you have, you understand the power of referral marketing. Which is really another name for affiliate marketing. Now imagine if you get paid for each and every referral. Imagine if you get paid a commission every time your friend buys the service or product you recommend. This is the philosophy behind affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is currently the fastest growing business model on the web. However, it still remains a secret in many quarters. It is an invisible business where lots of money is made. Companies love this model because their profit margins are extremely high; they do not have to spend any money on advertising. Their affiliates are acting as their sales force. Now, wouldn't you want to be different from the rest of the population? Wouldn't you want to be paid for your 'marketing' efforts? Rather than helping a big company get rich everyday through your recommendations, you can gain a piece of the pie too.
