What is an affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is how one can earn a commission by promoting other people’s or company’s products.

Commissions vary from merchant to merchant. We are going to give you a list of merchants that pay will pay you more than 5% per commission below. Think more like 40%. The goal is for you to make more by working less. You want better results for the effort you are putting in.
