Successful Affiliate Marketing: It’s In the List

Affiliate marketing is an excellent source of income from the Internet today. People can get started in affiliate marketing quickly and easily, without even having a specific product to sell at first. When new products launch, the company will turn to affiliate marketers to help them promote their new offering. When you are successful in your efforts, you will see serious income in the form of commissions come your way.

The key to successful affiliate marketing is the buyers list you promote the product to.

If you are lucky, you might see a 1% or 2% response to your email. While that's good, you could do much better.
