No doubt you're all sick of hearing about ad blocking by now, but it has opened up some interesting conversations around alternative ways for publishers to make money. Affiliate marketing is one such method, and it is also a way for retailers to sell more products with relatively little up-front investment. In this post I'm going to cover everything you need to know if you're new to affiliate marketing, whether you're a retailer or a publisher. So the brand researches how to achieve this seemingly impossible feat and comes across affiliate marketing as an option.<img class='aligncenter' style='display: block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;' src="http://partner.fabasoft.com/m/45/fabasoft_cloud_affiliate_marketing_partner.png" width="293" alt="affiliate marketing jobs"/>

In this post we are going to take a trip back in time and look at how affiliate marketing has grown over the years — both from my own perspective and through the documented information and data in the infographic below. On a side note, I remember using Prodigy to connect with one of my previous school teachers from elementary school.

While CDNow is credited as being the first affiliate program, Brad Waller of ePage says they were also one of the first.

Steep Learning Curve. While the reporting capabilities are great, they're also quite difficult for beginners to get to grips with. https://notehub.org/995ta 'll need to spend time in the dashboard before you're comfortable navigating the reporting suite and can then start to take full advantage of the tools on offer.

Plus, when you recommend something great, it can actually strengthen the relationship you already have with your audience, because you've vetted and found something useful for them. For example, half of my million dollar affiliate earnings come directly from the products and tools I recommend on my resource page , a helpful one-stop-shop that includes all of the best tools and resources my audience can use. Without much promotion, this resource page is visited over 100,000 times per month. You should definitely have a resource page on your site, one where you could recommend your favorite tools, books, products, classes—anything you know that will help your audience.
