Everlasting Income

Of course you can make money with affiliate programs. Like most things, you have to do some work and research. You know, you can't just pick a random affiliate program with a high commission and hope it works, because some products or services just don't sell. And some products or services aren't too great. So once you find a good product/service to promote, then you can start promoting your website which contains your affiliate links.

Can you really make money with affiliate programs?

The answer is a resounding YES! You can make money with affiliate programs if you do the research necessary to find the honest and ethical programs out there. There are many scammers around and they would love you to fall into their traps and take your earned commissions away from you. It's best to choose an affiliate program that is highly targeted and one that you would feel comfortable buying for yourself. After all, if you wouldn't buy it why would anyone else.

Affiliate programs work this way:

You sign up for a program of your choice.

They will send a welcome e-mail and assign you a link to the sales page website.

You can then start marketing the program.

Most good programs will give you sample banners,classified ads, e-mail ads etc to help you promote the business.

When people click your link they are redirected to the website that you are marketing.

When anyone makes a purchase, you will have earned a commission from 1% to 100% and most will be somewhere in between - 40% - 50% - 60%.

Sites like Clickbank and Commission Junction have thousands of affiliate programs to choose from, making it fairly easy to find one that you would be happy to promote.

NOTE – It is important for you to think about setting up your own website to promote the affiliate program. Here's why. If you have your own website you will be able to collect the names and e-mails of the people who click onto your site. Hint... offer something FREE such as an article or software to get them to fill in their names and e-mail address into the form on your website. Now, as you collect more and more names you will be able to send other offers to them again and again. This is a very powerful ASSET. Remember, the Money is in the List!

After joining an affiliate program all you have to worry about is marketing the program and making sales. You don't have anything to do with payment processing, product delivery, refunds or other details associated with the product.

Be aware that there are also downsides to affiliate programs. You will be competing with many other affiliates to get sales, especially if a market is highly targeted. If you are creative you can overcome this but it will mean more work for you. All in all the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Go for it, take ACTION, it will be worth it!
