Affiliate is very popular word in the internet marketing world. You may hear this word as the fastest and easiest way to make money from the internet. If you get into the internet marketing business and never heard about it, you might be living on another planet.
Affiliate is the person who acts as a referrer to products or services of a company/business and receives commission on every successful sale. For example, John is selling a "Step by Step Guide to Build Wealth" eBook. John has a friend named Christina, Christina sells John's eBook to another friends. Because Christina helped John to make more money, John gives Christina a commission 50% of the eBook's price.
That was easy, right? just by referring products to someone else, you earn 50% commission. Don't be surprised, there are some products who gives more than 75% commission to their afifiliates. Using this affiliate system, many gurus said that they can earn money without product, without website, even without ideas! because all they need to do is find an affiliate product and then referring it to someone else.
Affiliate Program is a program that provides a system to allow affiliates to sign up and selling the products to receive commissions. Without affiliate program, there is no way you can record every sell from the affiliate. To have an affiliate business, you will need a third party script for your website or find a service that provide affiliate system.
