What exactly are Affiliate Programs?<\/span>
\"work-from-home\"<\/strong><\/h2>

Think of Affiliate Programs as making money<\/a> through “word of mouth” advertising. There are hundreds of thousands of businesses that have products and\/or services that they want to get in front of as many people as they can.<\/p>

The fastest and most cost effective way to do this is offer affiliates, people like us, the opportunity to market for them. We do this through our websites, emails, social media networks and videos.<\/p>

Depending on the type of affiliate program is how you get paid.<\/p>

3 Ways Affiliate Programs work and pay out<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>

  1. Clicks (Pay Per Click)<\/strong>: When someone comes to your website and proceeds to click on a link you get paid per every click. (Most popular program for this sort of payout is Google Adsense<\/span>)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  2. Leads (Pay Per Lead)<\/strong>: This is where you get paid for each lead you send the company. These are usually offered by insurance companies, mortgage brokers and such with the intent to sell their services. (Most popular program for this sort of payout is Commission Junction<\/span>)<\/span><\/li>
  3. Sales:<\/strong> When a visitor on your site sees a product or service you are promoting and clicks through to the advertisers site and purchases something you receive a percentage of that sale. (<\/span>Most popular programs for this sort of payout is Amazon, Commission Junction, Clickbank and LinkShare)<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
