All About Affiliate
Programs
Step
1 - What Are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate programs
are simply ways for you to earn money by pointing visitors to other people's
products. Generally, you're provided with a tracking number that you include
in a link on your site - when folks visit those products from your link,
you are credited with the lead and a commission paid.
Often you will
be given another web site to check your leads and commissions. One popular
one is Reporting.net.
Comissions vary,
as to the quality of the affiliate programs.
