You will put this link in your site, your blog or an email and then encourage people to click on it. If the person who clicks the link eventually buys the product or service being sold, then you get a percentage or a commission of the total sale. Affiliate commissions go from 30% to as high as 90% of the total cost of the product or service.

One absolutely FREE method of promoting your chosen product is through blogs. Blog marketing is easy and free.

There are many free blog sites available including Wordpress and Blogger. People read your blog, click on your affiliate link and if they buy the product – you receive a commission!

While this is somewhat simplified, in a nut shell, that's all there is to affiliate marketing through blogging! Affiliate marketing through blogs is only one of perhaps hundreds of way to use affiliate marketing. There is Article Marketing, PPC, Viral Marketing and many other methods. Often it is a combination of several methods that will really start you on the path to earning a large income on the internet.
