When you promote products or services by sending visitors to a website, you are doing affiliate marketing. Your goal is to get people to view promotional material that leads to a sale or benefit for the company you represent.

You receive a commission for your efforts. In some situations, you receive commissions for simply sending people to a website. While in other situations, you receive commissions only for sales.

One of the great internet-marketing trends is that you do not need your own website. Companies will provide you with a replicated website to promote what they offer.

Alternatively, you may get access to specific web pages, referred to as landing pages. You could also get the use of both landing pages and a replicated site.

Your job is simply to find ways to get people to view the material. You can use both on-line and off-line methods to accomplish your goal.

Affiliates can earn thousands of dollars per month from just representing one company. As an independent affiliate, you can of course act on behalf of more than one company.

Warning: Do not pay. Legitimate affiliate marketing programs are free to join. Good (great) programs will also provide you with assistance and a ton of free information {example}.

Do not confuse (network) multi-level marketing with affiliate marketing. 

You pay to join mlm companies. Legitimate mlm companies are in the business of selling a real product. This website (the one you are reading) is an excellent example. There’s a charge for the website service package. There is also the opportunity to “work” the mlm program.

Note: You can register a (.ws) website domain name through Global Domains International (GDI).

In addition to hosting services, you get the tools to build your website. You also get the opportunity to earn a substantial amount of money.
 
Of course, you can register a domain name, get website hosting and building tools through other companies for less than the $10.00 per month charged by GDI.

You do not however get the great assistance, information, and opportunity to build a super mlm business with the ease offered by GDI. It is well worth the additional cost to establish a legitimate mlm business.

GDI will pay you on five levels of paying customers. Just five people going five levels deep will earn you $3,905 per month. Get 10 or 15 people going five levels deep and watch your income really explode.   You can get a 7-day free trial. See for yourself.

If you also plan to do affiliate marketing, consider building your own website.

With GDI, in addition to using their replicated website, you have the option of building your own website. However, your limit is ten pages. To represent more companies, and to properly monetize your site, you will need much more than ten pages. You should build dozens of keyword-focused pages. You should also optimize every page to achieve the best possible search engine ranking.

However, GDI is a great learning choice to build a basic website. You also have the option of making a lot of money, immediately.
