Written by alain on June 16, 2009

The easiest way to get started online is probably with affiliate marketing. There are many ways to make money with affiliate marketing and depending on which program you choose will determine if you make money fast or not.

 

As you probably know by now an affiliate is someone who sells other peoples products for which they get paid a commission. As an affiliate you don’t need any capital outlay and you don’t don’t need to have your own product. Best of all you don’t even have to have a website.

 

This is fantastic because all you need to do is find products you wish to promote and start selling. You can do this by:

 

1. Selling Products

 

By simply signing up to an affiliate program like Clickbank (for promoting info products) or Commission Junction (selling physical products) you can begin to make a commission on every sale you make. Your job is basically to get someone to buy a product through your affiliate link for which you’ll get paid a commission.

 

2. Providing a Lead

 

By only requesting information from your prospects and not actually selling anything to them you have a lot less resistance to your offer. This is what is called CPA which stands for cost-per-action.

 

With CPA or cost-per-action programs, you get paid whenever someone performs an action. An action is quite often only submitting their email or zip code.

 

As you can see for yourself, since your prospect doesn’t have to pay anything you have the potential to make more profits faster.
