What is Affiliate Marketing?
Here’s a cold hard fact about freelance writing: If you want to succeed in this business you need to write – A LOT!
The more you write, the more your writing skills will improve and the more acceptances you will get (instead of so many rejections).
So why not start earning money right now (today) AS you improve your writing skills?
The perfect way to do that is through affiliate marketing.
It’s like paid on-the-job-training!
What is Affiliate Marketing and How Does it Work?
With affiliate marketing, you write short articles and reviews about the products and services of OTHER companies.
You post these reviews and articles to online article directories, to your own websites and blogs, and in your own ezines and other emails you send to the people on your mailing list.
Within each of these articles and reviews, you include your affiliate links that take readers to a page where they can purchase these products or services.
When they do make a purchase, you receive a commission for the sale.
You can become an affiliate for dozens of companies, which means you can easily write at least one or two articles and reviews daily.
And, as you start writing on a daily basis, your writing skills will improve, and you’ll actually be earning money at the same time.
What could be better than that?
