Affiliate Marketing

I have always heard of Affiliate Marketing, but never really understood what it all meant. My thought was always, "What is affiliate marketing?" or "Why would I want to join any type of affiliate marketing program?".

Recently, I have begun looking into affiliate marketing as I have begun to shy away from MLM. I know there is great money to be made with MLM, but I am finding that I really enjoy advertising and promoting other products that I don't have to buy on a monthly basis. Therefore, I have begun to look at affiliate marketing.

I am beginning to see that there are many things out there! It is amazing how many companies offer affiliate programs. Anything and everything you can think of and in all payment ranges. Looks like I have my work cut out for me trying to decide what will work for me.

If anyone has any suggestions, please make sure to post a comment. I would love to hear any experience you have with affiliate marketing or any companies you are working with as well.
