Affiliate marketing is very lucrative. You sign up as an affiliate (there are tons of sites) and promote someone else's products. You get paid a commission. There is no worrying about shipping products, maintaining a store, etc. There are many, many ways to do promotions online without spamming (which is a big no-no). If you can build a simple web page, that is helpful too.

Hi there,I found the best person to explain affiliate marketing is Joel Comm. This YouTube video explains affiliate marketing very clearly, certainly better than I can explain it in print! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR1iomH6tTg I have been an affiliate of Joel's for the last 4 years. He is a "top" marketer, with some great products, and is highly respected in the online marketing field. Please let me know if you require more assistance. David Morris

I have no idea...I have nothing to market. It seems like everyone is doing this but what does everyone have to sell. I wish I could understand it. I've also asked for help but I didn't get a reply that made any sense to me.
