The expression ‘affiliate marketing’ has traditionally been used in an online context, but arguably, the concept existed way before the World Wide Web. Indeed, there are still examples of offline affiliate marketing today, like when a hairdresser offers a discount to an existing customer for referring a friend. However, this kind of old-school affiliate marketing wasn’t very widespread as it presented many difficulties in terms of tracking: the referral had to be tracked in a way that allowed the affiliate to be paid, which wasn’t always easy.Internet gave the term Affiliate marketing a whole new meaning, now-a-days affilaite marketing has become one of the moste wirde spread marketing types out there. But you must be carefull as you don't see the person behind it.Making money with Affiliate marketing 3.0 can be very lucrative, if done right! off cousre. Leaves me just one thing to say: study the old ways of affiliate marketing you get inpiration, and get a good mix between the old and new!
