What is an affiliate programs?
Many companies offer
affiliate / associate programs as a way of generating traffic and sales
for their businesses.
These companies will pay you commissions based on
the traffic they receive from links you place on your site. They vary from
pay-per-click, commission sales or even multi-tier associate programs.
For example, Amazon.com will pay you a 5% - 15% commission
of a sale of an item by someone who linked to their site from yours.
Commissions vary from from merchant to merchant and some can be as high as 60%!
This is what is called an "affiliate
program". If you go to any merchant site, look around and usually you
will find a link to join their affiliate program.
The problem is that not all of these programs pay you as
they promise. So if you are new I would strongly recommend to begin with affiliates
that are part of CommissionJunction.com!
Commission Junction is a super affiliate manger company that represents 1000's
of merchants. I have used them for close to a year now and they pay every
month like clock work!
