10 great ways to explain Affiliate Marketing

1) “I lie and pretend to be a dentist.”

2) “Akin to a pippa dee (or Anne Summer party without the underwear and scary bits of buzzing plastic) where you swap your house for your website.”

3) “A pain in the sodding ass.”

4) “Like wearing a sandwich board offering directions and charging the destination for pointing people there.”

5) “Admitting you’ve put any kind of advertising/marketing on to sites such as mine is a bit like admitting to Auntie Gladys over tea that you’re an experienced bondage porn star."

6) “I say I’m the Avon Lady. I take a commission for selling stuff.”

7) “Most non-connected people don’t understand affiliate marketing, that’s good! I just tell them I’m an internet millionaire.”

8) “I don’t try – I have tried but nobody seems to understand it. Even my bank manager doesn’t understand it.”

9) “A goldmine.”

10) “Pimping other companies' products for cash.”
