Well, some of that makes sense, yet you can sure spend a lot of money training your customers how to do business with you only to find out they won't.

What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is basically the promotion of the products and services of an online merchant. In return, the merchant gives his affiliates a percentage of every sale or a tangible reward. This marketing strategy gives numerous benefits to both parties. Businesses get the opportunity to boost their sales at very little cost and with zero risk. Since affiliates only get paid at the end of every sale and in direct proportion to the sales volume, online merchants can't lose.

They have virtually no overhead cost and can focus all their attention on marketing.
