When you’re long enough in a business, you almost forget that there are people who know nothing about it. 

I get many questions about affiliate marketing, and sometimes I'm pretty surprised that people are not familiar with its basics. 

But then, I remember that “the expert at anything was once a beginner.”

Thinking of beginners, I decided to explain what affiliate marketing is.

I put together a simple deck on the basics, and this episode is the first part of it.
