About Affiliate Programs
The easiest money producing site you can begin with is an affiliate site. An affiliate site is a web site that provides links to other web sites that sell products. If a visitor goes from your affiliate site to a web site that sells products (a merchant site) and buys something, you will receive a commission. The size of the commission will depend upon the arrangement you have with the merchant. That arrangement is called the affiliate program.
But don't worry....you don't have to approach each merchant personally and see if they want to come to an arrangement. As a part of their sales strategy, most merchant sites have an affiliate program which you can join. Just look for the link somewhere in their site or send them an email.
Otherwise you can find affiliate programs by becoming a member of a web site that specializes in making affiliate relationships possible. This is how most affiliate partners are found and joining costs nothing. The leaders in this field are:
Commission Junction
Shareasale
LinkShare
ClickBank - they specialize in electronic products, some offering huge commissions
TIP 1 - I recommend you join all 4 because each has different programs to offer and cost nothing to join.
TIP 2 - All of the revenue I make from www.Home-Gym-Review.com is from affiliate programs and most of them I found at Commission Junction.
TIP 3 - I got this one from Chris Carpenter (check out the recommended resource below). It's much easier to get someone to sign up for something free then it is to get them to spend money, therefore affiliate programs that pay you per lead work great.
Recommended Resource - Another great book I read about making money from affiliate programs is Google Cash by Chris Carpenter. He makes a bundle through PPC advertising and shows you how to do it in his book. While your there check out his lifestyle - enough to make any man or woman jealous!
