Ways To
Make Money
Online
Part 2 - Become An Affliate
Even
with no "product"
you can get
paid.
Making
money online used to pretty much demand that you have your
own glossy web site, unique products to sell and some
marketing brains. But a new generation of dot coms have
appeared that will pay you for referring visitors to
their products - without you first having to
create your own product or becoming a marketing
guru.
What is an Affiliate
Program?
You may have heard the
term affiliate program, but what exactly does it mean?
Essentially an affiliate program is a system that
allows webmasters to earn money by referring customers
or leads to another website that sells goods or
services.
When you sign up for
an affiliate program you are known as the affiliate.
The affiliate does not sell any product. He or she
simply refers potential customers to the storefront on
another site. When they buy the affiliate
earns a
commission. The
system tracks the sale and pays you your part
directly.

popular digital product selling system in the world.

Program
 - At its most basic level, the

the Amazon website which gives you different ways that
you can link to the Amazon site or to specific products
they sell.
C) You then create affiliate links on your site which
point to Amazon.com or any product on their site. If a
visitor to your site clicks on one of the approved
affiliate links and goes to Amazon.com and
they then buy something from Amazon.com within the time
period specified in the affiliates agreement, you get
credit for the sale and a commission on the total selling
price, not including shipping.
