The number one choice business model for any aspiring entrepreneur who is looking for a way to earn money online is Internet based affiliate marketing. There are so many benefits that I could in all honesty write chapter after chapter about this subject. However and especially as you do not want to be overwhelmed we shall look at three aspects that contribute to Internet based affiliate marketing success

1. You do not have to come up with your own products. With affiliate marketing you get paid to sell other people's products.

What this means is the products are already developed and everything is in place for you to start making money selling them. Many times thinking up ideas and creating products of your own is hard for the average person to do.

As the products are readilly available they will turn to affilite marketing. All you have to do is find products on the Internet that you want to sell.

2. We like Internet based affiliate products because they are very easy to deliver and can provide instant access. Let's say that you are subscribed to a membership program on how to start your own home business, in this case the members will have 24/7 access.

With this type of product there is no shipping, and the money is easy to collect by the affiliate merchant. Any type of information products make for great Internet based affiliate marketing products.

3. The money is great! When you think about it products that are based on the Internet are very easy to pay high commissions on, because once they're developed and put online, you have no ongoing manufacturing cost.

Even if you are promoting membership sites that require updating occasionally, this is still cheaper then selling products that are being built in a factory and have labor costs attached to them.

Once the affiliate merchant establishes how much money they want to profit on each product, they can then determine how much they want to sell the product for and the commission rate they will pay you.

Let's look at Clickbank.com for example. This is the largest digital information, Internet based affiliate marketing program in the world. The minute that you are approved as an affiliate you have access to literally thousands of ebooks that you are able to sell and get paid.

You will find that the creator of these products is willing to pay you as high as 75% of the purchase price to sell them. There are very few opportunities out there that will let you earn that much money immediately.

In summary this is three reasons Internet based affiliate marketing is so great. Anyone can make a lot of money as an affiliate marketer online!
