FOREWORD

Opening the Door of Opportunity-Welcome!

Here we are at the beginning of Keys to Affiliate Profits. The principle behind this e-book is to give you the information, tools and resources you must have to be an effective affiliate marketing professional.

All we will be discussing in this e-book is how to make money using the Internet and the many affiliate marketing programs that are available to you to accomplish this goal.

From this moment on, prepare yourself by deciding what amount of monthly income is your goal and how much effort you are willing to put toward reaching that goal. This is the most important point: it determines whether you will succeed or not.

Keys to Affiliate Profits is a resource for building your business online by using other people’s money, time and effort. It is the definition of passive income – you can make money while you are sleeping, and someone else is doing the work that makes it possible.

Affiliate marketing has grown into one of the largest Internet sales segments. The power of the Internet has enabled hundreds of companies to increase their sales profit with an extremely low overhead.

Instead of hiring a corporate office sales force, these companies have hundreds of electronic sales people (the affiliate marketers website) working for them night and day. The affiliate marketing model is responsible for the tremendous growth of the most profitable Internet retailers.

Because of their use of affiliate marketing to spread the word about their service or product, many of the Internet companies are generating millions of dollars in sales faster than their brick and mortar competitors.

Even if you have never tried Online Marketing before, by the time you read this book you should have a good idea now of how you can harness the profit potential of affiliate marketing, putting it to work for you to generate a steady and and continuous flow of cash!
