Affiliate Marketing Programs

Affiliate marketing programs (or associate programs) are a common technique used to grow an internet business... but how effective are they?

Simply... affiliate programs are touted as a great:

  1. way of making extra income from your web site, or
  2. method for marketing your own products on other web sites

Everyone says I can make money from the traffic my web sites are getting... If you believe some pundits, even a novice can make $1,000 a month or more from affiliate programs.

So... if you'd like to see how affiliate programs have worked for this "real life example" - i.e. me - then you've come to the right place. No B.S. Just real results so you can form your own opinion on their worth!

While these articles are written from the perspective of a web site owner (the affiliate or publisher) who promotes the products or services from other web sites (the merchant or advertiser), merchants will gain a valuable insight into how they can structure their program to attract good affiliates.
