Does your web site make you money? You can make money by joining a sponsor's affiliate program. Affiliate networks and affiliate programs are becoming more and more popular and are frequently being used by merchants for product and website promotion. Some affiliates make thousands of dollars each money using affiliate programs.

Merchants seek affiliates (website owners like you) to promote their products and services. In return will pay you high commissions. It's as easy as placing a link or a banner to another web sites products or service on your web site. This can be very lucrative if you have a busy web site. It also allows you to open up your own store without the worry of carrying physical products, trips to the post office, refunds, chargebacks, etc.

When your users click on the banners and text links on your site you can get paid a percentage of what the person buys. The links and banners have a tracking code embedded into them, this allows the sponsor to know where the visitor came from. Here are examples of affiliate websites: Internet Shopaholic Mall , and 123 Decorate . I have a new store called the LittleGoldenBookStore.com which will have information on Little Golden Books. The site will also contain an eBay store there that will allow you to buy the kids books.

When you sign up with a sponsor, you will be given step by step instructions on how to place the links on your web page. It's very easy to do and requires no maintenance. Hoover has compiled a selection of some of the best money-making programs on the Internet. Enjoy!
