This is basically a way of earning money by selling other people’s products. However, the method that is used here, rather than posting affiliate links on websites or in emails, is to use pay-per-click advertising to generate affiliate traffic.

Here’s a made-up example of how this process actually works:

Joe The Plumber has an eBook called “Joe’s Plumbing Guide” (the product doesn’t have to be an eBook. Actually, there are a wide range of things you can be an affiliate for, from services to diet pills and much much more. This is just an example).

Joe wants to sell his product, so he signs up for an Affiliate Marketing Group as an Advertiser. The Affiliate Marketing Group is basically a hub of products and offers that advertisers like Joe go to in hopes that their product will be promoted and sold, and in return the Affiliate Marketing Group will get a small percentage of the sale.
