Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is selling a product or service that you did not create.  You partner with the owner of the product or service and become an Affiliate.

As an Affiliate, you receive a commission or payment for each new sale or referral that you generate by promoting the product.  Affiliates promote products using blogs, websites, and email lists just to name a few.

There are many sites that allow you to find products to market. Clickbank is a website that will allow you to search for affiliate opportunities.

You can also research some of the product that you already use to see if they have an affiliate program.

Selling products is one of the oldest methods of making money online.  A product can be a physical product or a digital product.

Examples of physical products include books, clothes, shoes, etc.  Examples of digital products include e-books, online training courses, photography or even your own music.

Products are sold using your own custom website, a blog, or by utilizing sites like Amazon, eBay, or Shopify.  You can also sell things that you no longer use on sites like LetGo, Craigs List, and even the Facebook Market place.

YouTube

YouTube is a site that allows its members to post their own custom videos.  Making money on YouTube consists of creating your personal Channel and posting high quality and interesting content.

You can create videos on any topic that interest you.  Once you have content your goal is to go get people to watch your channel.  This can be done by sharing your YouTube videos on your social media sites, websites, or blogs.

In order to make money using YouTube, you will need to monetize your channel.  This means agreeing to allow YouTube to post Ads in your videos.

A membership site is a website that can only be accessed by users that have paid to become a member.  Members of the site pay a monthly, quarterly, or yearly fee in order to access the content of the website.

Membership sites can be created to provide valuable content on many different topics.  Creating a membership site is not as hard as it sounds.

Network Marketing

Network Marketing is similar to Affiliate Marketing as you are selling products that were created by someone else.  It consists of partnering with a company and becoming a Distributor.

As a Distributor, you agree to promote or sell products directly for a commission (or percentage of the sell).  In Network Marketing you make money from both products sells and by recruiting other people to become distributors.  As you bring in more distributors the number of commissions that you make increases.

Each Network Marketing company has a different compensation plan.  A compensation plan tells how the company will pay you as a Distributor.  Network Marketing companies pay weekly, monthly, or a variation of both.
