What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is one of the smartest ways to earn money online, all you have to do is refer to a product or service on your blog by adding an affiliate link, and earn a commission each time someone makes a purchase through that link.
Affiliate marketing also helps you make passive income online which means making money overnight while you sleep. Being successful in affiliate marketing can bring you decent income with your blog.
