Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs are one of the most effective and fastest ways to start making money on your website.

Depending on the content of your blog/website, you search for products and you write a review. Affiliates work on commission; if you make a sale you get a percentage of the profit.

When you have quality content and honest reviews, your readers will trust your opinion and recommendations as an expert, which, with time (as in any business) it will translate in sales.

Setting up an affiliate’s account at Amazon is easy and quick. Once set up, Amazon will provide you with a link to insert in your review, which will help track back the sale to your account.

Through the years, Amazon has built a good reputation on the net, and it is very likely that some of your readers will trust a name that they always recognize.

Amazon’s percentage depends on the number of items sold, starting by a 4% from 0-6 items.

Another very popular website for affiliate sales I have found is Clickbank, I find that the name and reputation of Clickbank is becoming increasingly popular, with different products you can choose from in various categories, with commissions of up to 75%.
