What is affiliate marketing?

by Jeremy on August 23, 2010

If you’ve ever run a blog, I’m sure that you’ve asked yourself how people make money by simply blogging.  There are a few ways but one of the big ones is affiliate marketing.

A blogging/social media friend of mine named Corbett Barr of FreePursuits and ThinkTraffic fame recently launched an affiliate marketing training class.  Since I have been interested in this topic for a while and I know Corbett and enjoy his stuff I thought I would give it a try.  I am still working my through the wealth of information that Corbett provides in his course but I must say that I have been impressed so far.

His modules:

  • Introducing Affiliate Marketing
  • Finding opportunities
  • Creating your site
  • Generating traffic
  • Advanced topics and scaling up

Inside of each of the modules are multiple lessons that go into depth on each topic.  Corbett provides you with the basics of what affiliate marketing is but also offers unique insights as to how to find the best product to fit your needs.

Part of the reason why I believe that Corbett’s course is different is that first I have traded emails, tweets, and other messages with Corbett and find him to be a very interesting guy.  Second, I have watched Corbett go through the process of finding his niche and building sites.  I was pretty early to begin reading his Free Pursuits blog.  Also, I have witnessed him building the traffic at Think Traffic.  From the things that Corbett has shared of late he is starting to earn decent amounts of money for his work.  So, I guess it comes down that he has earned credibility with me so I felt that I would like to learn more about what he is doing.

If you’ve ever been interested in learning about how someone builds an income from affiliate market … take a look at his course.  The price for the course is pretty low and provides a huge amount of information about affiliate marketing.

Once I have completed the course, I will report back as to what my overall impressions are.  Take a look and see for yourself!

    This course has been quite good. I'm learning about it. It's been a bit of rehash of things that I already know (of course it will be) but I've also come up with some interesting tidbits that I will try using more of.

    I'll post more once I've finished the course.
