an Affiliate?An affiliate promotes products and services on
their website for a commission. They choose merchants that fit
within the context of their site's offerings. If you have a
website devoted to Automobiles, for example, you would select
merchants that sell automotive products. You can build websites
that specialize in anything you prefer, such as travel,
shopping, automotive, sports, gifts, food, gambling, casinos,
and just about anything you are interested in.Affiliates enter
into an agreement to place links on their websites that lead to
the merchant, for the purpose of promoting goods and services.
In return, affiliates can earn commissions on click-through
leads, or purchases made through their sites.10 Steps To

time and energy into creating, and promoting your own website,
it can be very rewarding. It takes time, and a lot of hard work

phenomenal. Thousands of Merchants have realized the tremendous
value of having affiliates sell their products, and are actively
seeking new ones. It does not cost anything to become an

hold up their end of the bargain. This is after all, a
partnership between you and the merchant, and you need to work
well together. It's not enough however, just to sign up as an
affiliate with a merchant. You need to build a website that will
create sales, and know how to promote your website so customers
