| Many online
companies that sell products or services offer an affiliate
program where they promise to pay a commission on any sales
that you directly refer. There
are three basic types of programs.
Pay Per Click. You place
advertisements on your website and if someone clicks on it,
you get paid a set price.
Pay Per Lead. You advertise
and refer people to a website and if your referral completes
a form as requested, you get paid a set price.
Pay Per Sale: You advertise and
refer people to a website and if they buy a product or hire
the company to provide a service, you get paid either a set
price or a percentage of the sale.
It's easiest to build an affiliate income
when you have a website that already has a good amount of
traffic flowing through it. But you can get started
with as little as a link in your signature on forums and in
emails. |
