Affiliate Marketing – This is taking a product or service already established in the market place and using it on your blog to make a referral commission.

Two most popular public affiliate networks out there are

CJ.com  … this stands for CommissionJunction.com … promotes ONLY physical products.

Many major corporations and companies go through Cj.com.

Private networks are where you may need to go through an application process and a possible interview just to get the privilege to join and promote their products and services.

Affiliate Direct are programs like Amazon.com … the most popular one that you definitely want to be using on your blog.

If you do book reviews or provide content from a book, product or service that amazon provides …when a person clicks on the link in your blog, you get credit for that product and anything else they buy while there on amazon.

Once you are on the amazon website, scroll to the bottom of the page to find the link that says Become an Affiliate.

Other affiliate direct programs include the tools and resources that you use every day.
