						How to Make Money with Affiliate Business 
                        Programs  
                        by Randy Wilson 
                         
                        
                         
                        There are thousands of affiliate business programs on 
                        the internet today that offer wonderfully lucrative opportunities. 
                        The majority of business opportunities require zero overhead 
                        and once set up, will generate income with little or no 
                        maintenance on your part.  
                        Affiliate Businesses makes income thru affiliate programs 
                        that are simple in concept and work much the same way 
                        that word of mouth advertising does. Basically, when you 
                        refer a customer through your web site, you are recommending 
                        that product or service to your clients. If they sign 
                        up or purchase that product or service, you get paid a 
                        referral fee or commission. It is that simple. 
                         
                        Using affiliate business programs are a fantastic way 
                        to get your name out there as well. It is also considerably 
                        less expensive and less time consuming than some traditional 
                        advertising. Offering your own affiliate business opportunity 
                        program to your existing customers and clients can increase 
                        your revenue. Paying a referral fee to an already happy 
                        customer will generate leads for you. 
                         
                        Most affiliate business programs require you to be a member 
                        or subscriber to their site. This type of registration 
                        is usually free to you. Affiliates often will offer free 
                        newsletters or information to their subscribing members 
                        that may help you in the process of referring people to 
                        them. Free programmed links and free email tags are often 
                        offered to help with your affiliate business as well. 
                         
                        Adding a link to your existing site to another web site 
                        is easy and often a matter of simple copy and paste. Almost 
                        all emails have signature lines and a link can be added 
                        here as well. Everyone who sees your web site or email 
                        will see the link and this increases your ability to earn 
                        referrals. Conversely, if you were offering a referral 
                        program, this same system will get your name out there 
                        to people you ordinarily would not be able to contact. 
                         
                        These are affiliate associate program companies that have 
                        dozens to hundreds of different affiliate programs to 
                        choose from. The advantage to getting affiliated thru 
                        these companies is that you are paid one check (usually 
                        monthly) for all the companies you are affiliated with. 
                        If you sign up for affiliate merchant programs that are 
                        not using a backend provider (the name for these affiliate 
                        program companies) you will get a check from each one 
                        individually. Another adavantage is you can choose from 
                        hundreds of affiliate business programs without searching 
                        all over the net. They are all listed in one place. You 
                        can check out the most popular backend providers below. 
                         
                        If you have a successful product or service, offering 
                        a referral or affiliate associate program is one of the 
                        best advertisements online. Not only are you assured your 
                        customers are happy with your services and products, otherwise 
                        why would they refer you, but you are getting leads straight 
                        from these satisfied customers. Positive feedback of this 
                        kind is worth its weight in gold. 
                         
                        What if you are the happy customer? Referring people to 
                        a place where you have received good value and good customer 
                        service is easy. If you are looking to make money by becoming 
                        an affiliate, it is as easy as finding out if the places 
                        you already go on the internet have affiliate programs. 
                        Odds are, they do. You are also not limited to how many 
                        affiliations you can have. A few referrals a month can 
                        add up to substantial revenue for you in no time. 
                         
                        Some businesses that have built their clientele on affiliate 
                        associate programs of this kind are Amazon.com and Paypal. 
                        These businesses all started small and relied on consistent 
                        word of mouth advertising and affiliate programs. One 
                        key to their monumental and international success is great 
                        customer services coupled with great affiliate programs. 
                         
                        For example, say you recommend a book on sales to your 
                        consulting clients. Providing a link to that book to the 
                        Amazon.com web site will help your clients not only receive 
                        the information you find helpful to them, but you will 
                        receive a commission on every book that is sold through 
                        your site. Do you offer a product or service to other 
                        businesses? Paypal has a great affiliate program for business 
                        referrals. 
                         
                        As you can see, affiliate programs allow you to offer 
                        your clientele additional services. This can help your 
                        overall customer satisfaction and will help you build 
                        your own business as well. Offering your own affiliate 
                        program can increase not only your revenue, but your services 
                        as well.
