Answer 1

Affiliate marketing is an online marketing tool in which merchants promote their business through web and pay affiliates for each visitor or customer. Affiliates uses their site to bring traffic to merchants site.

You don't need sound knowledge of Internet programming and HTML, if you are doing affiliate marketing as affiliate or merchant, but if you are doing business as affiliate network then you need tracking code and have to develop Admin section then you need programming concepts. Knowledge of HTML will always helpful.

An affiliate is someone who sells merchants' products & services online. He needs to sign up with the merchants to be affiliated. Upon successful sign up, the affiliate is given an affiliate link. What an affiliate does is to direct web traffic to the merchant's site. If someone among the directed web traffic makes a purchase through the affiliate link, the affiliate earns a commission. This whole process is known as affiliate marketing.

You don't need to have a sound knowledge of internet programming and HTML to do affiliate marketing. However, it does help to have a basic understanding of it. Ultimately, you'll need to have your own websites to make a serious business out of it.

Sound knowledge of HTML or programmig is not needed since there are plenty of good (and free) HTML editors around and it is mostly drag-and-drop stuff. Any layman can and do setup a simple website in less than an hour's work.

Affiliate marketing requires practically zero startup cost and all you need is a computer and Internet connection. Basically you get a commission for helping to sell other people's products online. All you do is promote their products on the Internet and you get paid! It is that simple.

You do however have to put in some effort to find out how this business works. To motivate you, it is a known fact that successful affiliate marketers earn 4 to 5 figure sums consistently on a monthly basis.

Your next burning question would be "How do I get started on my very own affiliate marketing business?"

I asked myself this question a few years back and that was how I got myself educated on the nooks and cranies of affiliate marketing. The best place to start is to find out who the gurus are in this field and learn how they become so successful. The top few affiliate marketers in the world are self-made millionaires. These gurus also provide step-by-step guides on how to do affiliate marketing successfully.

If you want to be successful in this field, you have to learn and be educated first. Thats the first step. Its the same for all businesses including affiliate marketing. However it is not as hard as you think if you know where to look for the right resources to lead you down the right track and also to prevent you from falling into the pitfalls that many newbie affiliate marketers make.

Some gurus in this field are people like Ewen Chia and Chris Rempel. They are almost a legend in themselves in this field. You would also want to check out the warrior forum where affiliate marketers all over the world gather and meet to discuss affiliate marketing strategies.

I have provided the links below for the warrior forum and other resources. If you want success then you have to put in plenty of action and dedication. Rewards follow effort. There is no other way.

Answer 5

Affiliate marketing is simply referring people to a product or business, where you then receive a commision for any sales made through your affiliate link. I would agree you should own a website to have the most success. Also it requires a decent amount of steady traffic to  be able to make a living at it. So you should either have some knowledge of Search engine optimization or use tools that will do the job for you. The resource below gives a detailed review of the tools myself and many others use to build a site that will rank highly in the search engines. This will bring you a steady stream of free  traffic. Enjoy & much success to you.

Answer 6

No you do not need any specific knowledge.Just to be able to send traffic to your site.Affiliate marketing is simply promoting another product,not yours and you are given an address with your ID to promote and make money.There are many affiliate programs out there,do  a thorough research.

Answer 7

The basic idea behind affiliate programs is that when you become an affiliate (also called a referrer, reseller or associate), a partnership is created with the merchant – the owner of a product or provider of a service.  Once you as an affiliate refer a customer to the merchant and the customer makes a purchase, you get a percentage of the sale (a commission).

Its one of the easiest ways to make money online.

And NO you don't have to have a sound knowledge of internet programming or HTML. I've been involved in affiliate marketing for some time now and I don't much of either.

Answer 11

Affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different types of companies and individuals are performing this form of internet marketing, including affiliate networks, affiliate management companies and in-house affiliate managers, specialized 3rd party vendors, and various types of affiliates/publishers who promote the products and services of their partners.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates often use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, email marketing and in some sense display advertising. On the other hand, affiliates sometimes use less orthodox techniques like publishing reviews of products or services offered by a partner.Affiliate marketing — using one site to drive traffic to another — is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail and RSS capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.

and i far as my knowledge you don't  require any knowledge of internet programming and HTML etc but if you have it is a additional  Strength to you...
