What is affiliate marketing?

I will cover production lessons in other blogs

When you sign up for a company to work with, this is known as a sponsor

The sponsor will give you an ID code when you sign up.

This code ID's you to the sponsor after you sign up with them. When you make a sale, you get a commission. A typical cut often is 50% commission to you, a 5-10% commission to whoever "recruited" you (which is me if you sign up with the link below,) and the sponsor keeps the rest.

Why does the sponsor give up part of their profit? They give you content to work with which makes you a salesman for their porn. If you make the sale they didn't make, you are making them money!

There are many webmaster sites in which webmasters share information and help. In fact, the use of these boards will be an early lesson. Most of the people that help out on these sites act as referrers for their favorite sponsors

Understand this. You will not get rich quick. You won't make any sales for at least three months. There are entire websites full of free porn, and there are lots of people working this type of business.

You don't need to start a corporation or business to do this. You won't be making enough money when you start to make it worth the while. Most cities have a lawyer consultation service which will set you up with a lawyer for about $20 for an hour's worth of questions. You will need an accountant if you start making money.

A website

You need a website to host the porn. DO NOT USE STEEMIT UNLESS YOU ARE PRODUCING YOUR OWN CONTENT AND UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE TOLERATE PORN. You can use Blogger to start and look for cheap hosting after that. Setting up a Wordpress site is really easy.

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHETHER HOSTING PORN ON A SERVICE IS ALLOWED BEFORE YOU PUT WORK INTO IT. Read the Terms of Service (TOS)

Once you get the hang of things, and start making sales, you can look at paying for hosting which you control fully.
