WHY AFFILIATE MARKETING?

Affiliate marketing is a great way to build up your income and a great way to monetise your blog / website. In fact, any time you recommend a product or service to your followers, check to see if the advertiser has an affiliate program (usually advertised in their footer links). If so, sign up and use your affiliate link and make a little commission if they happen to buy.
