Welcome to the online world of Internet Marketing. Below you will find a few terms that you should make yourself familiar with before you even start the wonderful journey of Internet Marketing. I will continue to build upon this list and use it as a sort of glossary for other, more in-depth articles that are to come. I have a feeling this will grow rather quickly so once I get to a certain point I will organize everything into groups and subgroups so that you can find everything easier.

Affiliate Marketing:

Revenue sharing between online merchants and online publishers and/or sales people. With this type of marketing you don’t need to have a product of your own, all you need to do is find a product you want to sell and join the merchants affiliate program, if they have one, and send traffic to their site.

Depending on the affiliate program you can make money off the click through, off the sale of the product, registrations or a hybrid model.
