3 Most Practiced Affiliate Marketing Methods Explained —and The One I Profit From When thinking specifically about affiliate income, I determined that I could divide how people earn money as an affiliate into three primary categories:   Unattached, Related,  and   Involved . These terms represent how we are associated with the product or products we may be an affiliate for. Unattached Affiliate Marketing These are your basic pay-per-click affiliate marketing campaigns where   you have no presence and no authority in the niche of the product you’re promoting . There’s no connection between you and the end consumer, and all you’re doing is putting an affiliate link in front of someone via Google Adwords , Facebookads , etc. in the hopes that they’ll click on your link, buy the product, and earn a commission.

What is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing  is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.

It has been nearly 2 months, and   none of them   have followed through. I know it’s not my fault, but it’s hard for me not to be frustrated when I know this will help increase their income. I won’t name any names, but I’ll let this post serve as a “gentle” reminder to them and a sign to you that I truly believe in this strategy. Let’s get to it… The Want to Know People want to know what a product is like before they pay for it. This is why we’re allowed to test drive cars, why software products have demo & trial offers and why our favorite electronic stores all have the ‘toys’ neatly laid out for us to touch and feel and play with. It’s all “unboxed” for us, so we can buy it and then unbox it again on o...

This guide will talk about both, so you can avoid many of the mistakes that make life harder for many beginners.
