Affiliates are simply businesses or individuals who associate themselves with other business that provide goods or services.

If this sounds too simple a concept for you maybe you have been looking too hard for a business opportunity.

Let me simplify it for you. Lets say you own a traditional retail outlet. to ensure stock you have to pay a wholesale price for goods to resell to others for a profit. The problem with this is you have had to pay up front for the goods and run a risk of not selling all products purchased.

An affiliate on the other hand could be classified as an online retailer. Instead of purchasing products and services up front an affiliate offers to advertise a company and their associated products and services. In return for each sale made through the affiliate the company will pay them a margin - usually a percentage of total purchase price.

This is fantastic because the affiliate doesn't have to have a retail shop,What is an Affiliate? Can you really make money with no capital outlay? Articles doesn't have to buy products up front and best of all doesn't have to have a website.
