What is the benefits of affiliate marketing
If you are new and have never heard about affiliate marketing before, you are probably wondering what affiliate marketing is and what is the benefits of it. So before I move on, affiliate marketing is simply the process of recommending another companies products to another person in exchange for a commission. So how do you benefit personally in all of this?
Makes everyone happy
As an affiliate marketer, you have one job. That job is to be as helpful to visitors as possible by giving them solutions for their problems. Not spamming them with ads like you want their money!
When someone is looking for a bike that is designed for mountain biking, there is an affiliate marketer out there that is trying to recommend the best mountain bike. They help everyone (including themselves) by generating a business more money, as well as helping their visitors make a more informed buying decision based on their needs.
One thing that should also be noted when being an affiliate marketer is that you are not a car salesman trying to close a sale aggressively. You are more like the retail worker working at Apple asking people if they need help finding something, then telling them the differences between products and outlining it in such a way that they know what products fit best for them.
If you have ever walked into a retail store, the workers there made you feel like you mattered the most to them and they made you feel smart. Thats what you should aim for as an affiliate marketer.
Makes you money
You make money as well. I am sure there is not much more to explain here as you should already know how that benefits you.
Helps you make more time for yourself or your loved ones and schedule flexibility
A lot of people want more time to spend with their family as well as the ability to own their time as oppose to having their time owned by someone else. After all, you don't want to be the one who misses out on your babies first steps or their soccer games. Those are priceless moments that you would want to be their for and cherish forever.
But unfortunately, many people have to miss them because at the end of the day, they are the breadwinner and they have to put food on the table.
You can recommend products related to your passions to people who also have the same passion
You are not obligated to recommend products that you don't like or have never tried. In fact, it is highly recommended that you don't do so. If you wanted to start a blog that reviews hiking equipment, go ahead. If you want to recommend a product that is about baby clothes for mothers who are doing research, go ahead. Any passion that you are crazy about, there is always a way to make money from it thanks to affiliate marketing.
In fact, that is the purpose of this course, to help you pursue your passion while making money with products (from a passion or hobby) that you can recommend to others.
I hope that i have outlined all the benefits of being an affiliate marketer and hoped I inspired you to pursue making money in something you love.

I like the flexibility and mor time with family. Even so not to mention the extra cash and stay at home working mother.
Have a great day.

I have been here less than a month, and my husband want to travel. I can just fold my lap top up and go. I have a schedule I am starting to keep on my work here, but there is the flexibility I can go when he wants to.
so I like not having to work at a job dealing with people that if I did like them out in the world I wouldn't talk to them.
That is why we are all here. I am glad you made this life changing choice. Have you ever thought about starting a travel blog? I am sure many WA members have started one from here.
It is, you aren't forcing anything that they don't want. You are just telling them what products work best for specific individual needs.
