I had a preview of Affiliate Marketing a year ago through an eBay link on a friend's web site. I was curious and asked him about it. He gave me a step-by-step explanation of the Affiliate Marketing process and how I could make some money. I then started to experiment with different types of products to find out which types of products were sell-outs and which were not. During the first few weeks, I was not making much money, but after sometime I was making more than $1,500 a week doing Affiliate Marketing.
