So what is special about affiliate marketing? In fact the first advantage is that you do not need to waste time to travel to office anymore. You can work at home! Your bed room is your office, your kitchen is your office, and even your bath room can be your office.

If you wish to, you can work more in order to make more money. What you have done will be reflecting how much you are going to make. If you are willing to put more effort and time to work on it, you will probably make more money with it.

However, there may still people who are reluctant to engage in the world of affiliate marketing. Of course they are still trying to make money online. They will go for other systems such as the AdSense. However, the fact is that you will only make $3 - $5 a day with this kind of system. On the contrary, it is possible to make more than $300 per sale for affiliate marketing. It is just simple mathematics and you will understand which should be a better choice.

Apart from the above, there is no restriction for the physical locations of the sellers and buyers in internet marketing. As an affiliate marketer, you can certainly sell a product in UK to someone living in Japan. This also means that there is no restriction for the "opening hours". As an affiliate marketer, you will be indeed running a 24 hour business. What is better than making money around the clock? You will be able to do that under the umbrella of affiliate marketing.

Another solid fact is that more people are spending their time and money online. You can see the number of people who are playing online games and the amount of money spent everyday on that. It is a huge amount of money. It is also true for online shops. Everyday there are increasing number of people who buy from online shops. And this implies that the potential of affiliate marketing will be also huge.

Considering the products you are going to sell, it is advised you try to go niche. Selling products in a niche market can be a lot easier than that in the mainstream market. Although the demand for the latter may be higher, you will have to chance to capture all customers in the former. If you can really do that, you may earn even more than you engage in the mainstream market.
