There's a company that sells a product online that I use on a day to day basis. I want to become an affiliate marketer for that company ie; drive customers and business to their site and get a kick back for it. i want to start by creating a youtube video of me demonstrating the produce with a link to the their site. I went on to the companies site that sells the product and found nothing about any sort of affiliate program. Does every company participate in affiliate programs... if I call what are the chances that they'll say they don't need my help? I plan on calling over the next couple days but figured I'd ask here first so I don't look like an idiot. How does affiliate marketing work.. will they simply provide me with a link I can embed into my video? Do I need a domain name to act as a sort of middle man between my video and their site or can i simply use the video? Do I need a license to do this? If a customer follows my link and creates an account with their company (you need to do this in order to buy anything from them) will I get residual income on each time they purchase from then on? Any good books to read up on affiliate marketing to find out other ways to make money online? Thanks.
