Before you jump into affiliate marketing there are two things you must understand beforehand.

What are the different types of affiliate marketing?

Affiliate Marketer (AM): The affiliate marketer is someone that promotes someone else's product to earn a percentage of the sale. The affiliate marketer does not own the product but works on commission for any sales they refer to the affiliate owner. If you are an affiliate marketer looking for affiliate programs to promote I recommend ClickBank

Affiliate Program Owner (APO): The affiliate owner is the person who owns the affiliate program and the product. He/she finds affiliate marketers to join his/her affiliate program so they become the sales force. This is a great marketing tactic for product owners. Being an affiliate program owner allows you to gather a huge force of affiliates that will promote your products for free in the hopes that they will earn a commission If you are looking for a great affiliate program management service I recommend Automated Sales Machine.

Here are the most used type of affiliate payout's available on the net today!

1. Pay Per Sale: This type pays a one time commission per sale.
   
   
2. Reoccurring Sale: This type pays a reoccurring commission for as long as the customers continues to be a customer. For example: A membership site that charges $100.00 per month might pay $30.00 per month to their affiliates per customer they refer.
   
   
3. Pay Per Lead: This type pays per email lead referred. There are not many affiliate programs that use this type of payout. However this can be an easier affiliate program to make money from because the referred web site visitor doesn't actually need to buy anything before the affiliate will make money.
   
   
4. Pay Per Click: This type pays when the referred visitor clicks on an advertisement. This is another easy way to make money from affiliate program however you usually don't make that great of a sale per web site clicker.

I recommend the "pay per sale" and the "reoccurring sale" type of affiliate payout if you are an affiliate marketer. These two types will make you more money per sale than anything else.

One of the largest advantages of becoming an affiliate marketer is that you don't need to create your own product and you don't need to handle any support. This is a great way to earn some money on the side without doing to work or running your own business. Just send traffic to affiliate URL's and wait for the sales to come in.

A great advantage of becoming an affiliate program owner is that you can allow other people to sell your product for you. This is especially useful if you know anyone with a similar web site as you or with a very large mailing list. A single affiliate marketer can earn you tens of thousands of dollars that otherwise you would not have earned. Becoming an affiliate program owner opens your business to a HUGE percentage of prospects that otherwise you would not have access to.
