You've read it in the forums. You've seen it on ads. It fills the online news. It's all over the internet. Thousands of people are raking in cash with affiliate marketing!

You sure want to join the affiliate marketing rave and take some loot for yourself.

BUT you can't just jump into the wagon and expect to be successful without knowing how this (tricky) game goes. And right on this page I'll be explaining to you how affiliate marketing works without fluffing yourself with jargons you can't even pronounce.

Affiliate marketing is not different from how direct selling works. It's as simple as 3 steps:

1. Find a company or merchant's website that sells something hot or "in"
2. Refer potential customers to the merchant's website and if they buy...
3. You get commissions!

Now that's simple but not simplistic.

There are many sub-steps within the affiliate marketing structure that you need to complete successfully before you can confidently move on to the next step and finally be successful. This will be covered in a different report.

If it's not different from direct marketing, why is the affiliate marketing idea selling like hotcakes?

The biggest reason I believe, which many affiliate marketers would agree to is that -- you get to be your own boss. Once cash starts rolling in and you're latching big time on the affiliate marketing path, you can forget about your grumpy boss that hovers behind you all the time.

Next in line: the earning potential is endless. Your limit is yourself -- the time, the effort, the dedication you devote to affiliate marketing. For many, this has been their path to sweet financial freedom.

And last but not the least, you get to spend more time with your family. With a successful affiliate marketing career, you can forget about rushing to the office every morning and work like a madman for 12 hours straight. You can forget about coming home so tired you can hardly talk with your kids and wife.

"Okay. That sounds fine and dandy but how does it take to get ball rolling?"

Well, the total cost for a successful affiliate marketing career is...(drumrolls please)

A computer and an internet connection, plus of course, your time.

This may sound unbelievable.

But I've seen people who're successful with affiliate marketing with virtually no experience and no idea how it works become successful with only a computer and an internet connection after getting their hands wet for months and applying what they've learned.

I don't know about you but I'm not going to spend the rest of my life working for 12 hours straight for the big guys and only to get minimum pay. Give affiliate marketing a serious shot. After all, it's almost 100% risk free.
