What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is the art of placing yourself between the buyer and the seller. It is that simple. There have been affiliate marketers since the dawning of time. Somebody needed something and they asked a friend and the friend introduced them to a provider of the items they were looking for.
I am, certain you have done this for a friend in the past and they were happy to have had the help. Perhaps they bought you a drink to say thank you. That is affiliate marketing. Trading knowledge about one subject for benefit to someone who is already looking for that knowledge.
Trading Knowledge for benefit.
Everyone searches for information on the internet today. Whether by phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, everyone is searching for information.
An affiliate marketer provides information and then provides a recommendation based on their greater knowledge about the subject of the search.
Older people are fountains of knowledge. They have worked in various industries and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Affiliate Marketing allows them to trade that knowledge and experience for profit.
This knowledge is convertible into answers for people searching. You just have to walk through the door and answer the questions being asked.
There has to be value.
The person searching for information will read what the Affiliate Marketer has written and IF they find value they will act on the recommendation provided.
Affiliate Marketers must provide value to their customers. Value in their knowledge about a product or service. Information that is unique, engaging and personal. 
When you can achieve this – you will find success as an affiliate marketer.
People want to buy things, but they do not want to be sold things. This is why your personal knowledge will be beneficial to someone searching for answers.
Most people love to research and know more about their purchases. Providing that knowledge to them gives them pleasure.
By providing answers based on your own knowledge or research you are saving the buyer time and effort. That is why they are reading your information, because they are looking for answers.
This is NOT Sales.
You are not selling items to people. This is not a sales job. 
Affiliate Marketers simply provide comparisons and information about products. They provide links to all the products that they feel are worthy and the buyer makes their own decision, based on the information provided.
They will click the link provided and be taken to a sales page for an item that they were already searching for and were already willing to buy.
Everybody is happy. The searcher has made an informed decision, and the Affiliate Marketer has made a commission from the purchase.
There is no added cost.
There is no additional cost to the purchaser. The price is the same if they land on a sales page through an Affiliate Link or if they go directly to the sales page.
The buyer is happy – they have bought something that they are now knowledgeable about.
The seller is happy – they have made a sale where before they did not know that they had an interested customer.
It Takes Time
Affiliate Marketing takes time to produce results. You will need to product a lot of information that people are looking for before your information makes its way to the first page of the search engine. Search Engines are in the business of providing the best answer to peoples questions.
You answer must be written in such a way that the search engine can find it and recognize that you are providing the best answer to thee question asked.
It is not Rocket Science as you will see here.
What it is and what it is not
Affiliate marketing is:
- a proven system
- working for millions of people
- not difficult to do
- a DIY business
Affiliate Marketing is not:
- a get-rich-quick scheme
- it is not for everybody
- it will not do itself
Conclusion

A buyer has been advised on the pros and cons of a product and a seller has made a sale.
