Affiliate Programs

Affiliate Programs - This is a fun and easy way to generate some income by becoming an affiliate. You may need a website, newsletter or blog to promote and advertise merchants' products and/or services, and the merchant will supply you with text ads and banners for placement. You get paid commission whenever someone makes a purchase from a banner on your website. You can promote and sell just about anything on the web, from goods to services. The best way to do this is to focus on one product in particular that interests you. For example, if you really love photography, just focus on promoting cameras, photopaper, photo copiers, etc. rather than a bunch of different, unrelated items. This is called finding your niche. One of the top programs is Commission Junction. They have everything imaginable to promote, if you decide promoting is what you want to do. There is also LinkShare, MaxBounty and Perfect Paycheck.
