Affiliation is a sales technique in which a website is the distributor of a commercial website's products. It is a business partnership between an online sales website (the parent website) and a group of distribution websites (the affiliates). The affiliation program thus allows the parent website to use the traffic and visibility of partner websites as new sales channels.

In an affiliation program, the affiliate is paid in one of the following ways:
• percentage of sales: the parent website pays a commission, which represents a percentage (on the order of 10%) of the sales;
• pay per click:
• pay per contact made:

Become An Affiliate

Overview
You promote other companies websites/products and get paid commission based on sales or leads you generate.

What Is An Affiliate Program?

An affiliate program allows companies to advertise on websites and places which aren't their own. The company promoting is called the 'Merchant', as the promoter you are called the 'Affiliate'. The affiliate program is simply the system which brings the two together.

How it Works

1) You join an affiliate company.
2) They list companies which are available for you to promote
3) You choose which companies you want to promote
4) They provide banners/text links which you insert on your own website or promote via other methods IE Pay-per-click, forums etc
5) You then get paid commissions depending on the advertisers terms (E.G 10% of every sale made through your banners)

How Much You Can Earn

Successful affiliates make a lot of money, there is a skill to making good sales, it isn't as simple as just putting a banner on your website and letting the commissions roll in! The websites/products you promote should be highly targetted to your audience and you should do a positive pre-sell (EG feature a company telling your users the benefits of buying from the company).

If you were to try and make sales by building up a portfolio of quality websites which have thousands of visitors each you could generate a very nice full time income from affiliation!
