Part 2. Making Money With Affiliate Programs
Affiliate programs can be an excellent way to start an ebusiness.
Before we dive into the specifics, let me explain how an
affiliate program works.
An affiliate program simply means that you sign on as an
affiliate marketer for someone else's product. It's your job to
market the product, send the company customers, and get a cut
each time a sale is made from your efforts.
Affiliate program commissions can range from as little as 2% for
high ticket items up to 50% for ebooks and informational type
products.
As an example, let's say you sign up with Amazon.com's affiliate
program. You are assigned an affiliate code which you use to
promote Amazon's books on your website.
When someone clicks to purchase an Amazon product from your
website, your affiliate code is included in the URL and you get a
commission for the sale.
Some folks have built elaborate websites that sell nothing but
Amazon.com's books, and each time they make a sale they get a
piece of the pie.
One of the most appealing aspects of affiliate programs is how
quickly you can begin making money. You can literally sign up as
an affiliate and begin making money in minutes.
I've done it dozens of times, so I know it works.
When I first started my online business I was not the affiliate
expert that I am today, so I sought out the experts in the field
and learned from them, just as you are learning from me today.
The top affiliate program expert then and now is Rosalind
Gardner, the woman that many call "The Ultimate Affiliate Program
Authority."
Rosalind Gardner began making money with affiliate programs in
1997. She has since grown her affiliate business into a $400,000
a year business and is now considered the authority on the
subject.
Her book 'The Super Affiliate Handbook: How to Make a
Fortune Selling Other People's Stuff Online' has been out since
March and is already considered by many to be the affiliate
marketers bible.
I ordered Rosalind's book and I have to tell you I found it to be
THE best book on the subject of affiliate marketing that I have
ever read.
It's a hype-fr*e approach to what affiliate marketing is really
all about and how to make it work. The book is 270 pages and
leaves no stone unturned.
For anyone serious about making money with affiliate programs, I
highly recommend Rosalind's book.

I also recommend "Clickin' It Rich" by Michael Campbell. Michael
routine earns hundreds of thousands of dollars every year with
affiliate marketing.
Imagine making $200,000 a year selling other people's products.
It's an amazing and highly profitable concept.

The bottom line is this: you can make a lot of money with
affiliate programs, if you pick the right products and do your
part to promote them.
In Part 3 we'll talk about how to choose an affiliate
program that's right for you.
