There is a merchant who wants to sell his products and services through internet, and at the same time there are affiliate marketers who help the merchant to sell, by advertising their stuff on their website or through other measures.
Affiliate or publisher is the person, who advertises the product on behalf of the merchant.

In order to be successful in affiliate marketing, you must know or at least have used the product yourself. Selling takes a lot of passion to convince your target market. No one takes a smooth sailing in selling a product, it takes hard work and commitment.

I agree that affiliate marketing takes hard work and commitment and should know about the product for which they are marketing. It takes time to take off.
But I disagree with the point that one should have used the product, for which they are marketing. We can have other people experiences or market survey and know about the product instead. Its not possible to use each and every product or services, which we sell.
