Affiliate MarketingAffiliate marketing is a way by which you get paid to promote

other people’s products. When you register to be an affiliate

for a product, you will be given a unique URL that redirects the reader

to the product. When someone clicks on that link and buys the product,

you will be paid a commission.

You can then add affiliate links in your content to products that

give more detailed information about the solution for their problems.

You will be able to generate income while helping your readers.

PPC/Banner Ads● PPC/CPA – Paid Per Click/ Cost Per Action is compensation

where you get paid each time a user completes a certain action: entering an email address, filling out a form, or taking a survey.

● Promoting PPC/CPA offers involve the same thing as promoting affiliate products, but as you do not always need to sell something to get paid, it is relatively easier, especially for newbies.
