Top 7 Affiliate Networks

Affiliate Marketing is when an affiliate promotes a company's products and/or services to earn a commission. Once you find the products or services you'd like to promote,the merchant will provide you with an affiliate link that identifies you as the referrer so you can be properly compensated for any sales or leads generated through your link. 

As an affiliate you have options of delivering the content through your personal website, blog, email, or social media. In addition to your affiliate link, you maybe provided with creative content such as; text ads, banners, splash pages, promo codes, and more. Some advertisers also provide pre-written copies of email swipes and product reviews. You can use these as a guide, make it your own, and publish your revised content on any advertising source you choose.
