FIRST public relations are not as time consuming and exhausting and critical when you are involved in a online affiliate program. Basically if your page is good and you maintain it to sell the product well, that's it! No worrying about hurting feelings or stepping on toes. No exhaustion from dealing with frustrated and/or frustrating people. What more could you ask for?

SECOND you are in an online affiliate program which means that you do not have to have and in general are avoiding all of the rigmarole that comes from owning and selling a product. You don't have to have any expertise in a certain field. You don't have to worry about shipping of the product, or guarantees, or customer service—none of that junk. You also can pick things that are hot items and basically sell themselves. If it doesn't, well then you try something else, easy as that! You can sell as many or as few as you want. You have the ability to pick things that you can agree with ethically.

THIRD you are working on the internet which means that you are not in a stuffy cubicle working for a stuffy suit and wearing torturous things like ties. Rather you are sitting on the deck of your cottage (if that's where you prefer), answering to no one (except maybe your wife), wearing silk boxers. You can get up in the morning when you want, you can go on vacation as you please, and all this for very little risk at all. There are no start up costs and it is a very profitable industry which is where most of the world is heading.

So, if you are looking for a way to make a lot of cash with all the convenience of an online income than stop, look no further, because online affiliate programs are for you! Basically they are what they say they are. Affiliate marketing is simply selling a product whose rights are owned by someone else who is willing to pay commissions for others who will market the product for them. The program is a consortium of people with said products who use (and pay) it to manage all of their affiliate sellers and record their sales and pay them. So you actually get a check from the program.
