Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing partnership between a web merchant and affiliates. The affiliate is getting paid a commission for referring clicks, leads or most often sales to the merchant. The advantage of an affiliate is that he can make money in a business where he doesn’t need to have upfront costs of creating his own product, and needn't to worry about e-commerce, bookkeeping, or even customer support because it is the merchant’s responsibility.
