There are different ways by which you can earn some money by spending some of your time and effort through internet like taking part in surveys, taking part in PTC sites, getting paid to read emails and watching videos, contributing good quality articles to user friendly revenue sharing websites like ‘literacybase’, promoting others products for a commission as an affiliate etc.
In recent times, these so called ‘affiliate programs’ which are also most generally known among the masses as ‘affiliate marketing’ have been one of the most effective ways of generating income through online methods where a person as an affiliate as well as the owner of a website promotes products in any niche he is interested in and gets commissions for each sale of a product which he has promoted.
As an affiliate, depending on the product you are promoting and based on your performance, you can get extra benefits each and every month apart from the commission that you are paid for the sale of a product.
Well, in essence, an affiliate is an individual who is dedicated solely to promote a product in order that this effort or action achieves sales. At present, there are vast majority of members who are working on internet and they get commissions for selling various products they are promoting.
The easiest way to work as an affiliate is joining an affiliate network. At present, there are a lot of affiliate networks and the best known and certainly the favorite one with many people is Clickbank.
The next question that may arise in anyone’s mind is ‘how much can I earn as an affiliate’ which is quite natural since you need to be adequately compensated for your efforts.
Therefore, making some money as an affiliate depends on your performance, that is, how much time and effort you put into it. Regarding the possibilities of making some money through affiliate marketing, as it is generally known, they are endless profits and our income will naturally depend on how many sales we achieve by way of promoting those products each and every month. The percentage of commission we can earn per sale of a product depends on the type of product and this normally varies from 30% to 75%.
Working as an affiliate is not so easy either, although it is true that when you decide to promote a product, you must conduct a market research before deciding to promote a product in order to ensure that you are investing your time in the appropriate manner.
Working as an affiliate requires some knowledge from the basic knowledge of internet and therein lies the difficulty. The more knowledge you have regarding internet marketing and web positioning, it is that much easier to enter the world of affiliates. Needless to say, I would only suggest that you to do more research on the subject of affiliate marketing.

Yes, I also think affiliate marketing is the best way to earn online. I am planing to create my own blog soon and affiliate marketing is one of my way to monetize it. I am still on the process of planning and learning how to be successful in this area. One of my problems is that I suck at writing long articles and maybe I need to improve this thing first. Thanks for sharing
In short, what stuff or services you will need to start this method and earn money?
A Blog/Website
Little HTML and CSS knowledge
Attractive English Writing Skills
A Short Report/eBook
An Email Autoresponder
Targeted Traffic
And that’s it. May be you’ll be introduced to all the above things, or may be some of them are new for you. Don’t worry, I’ll teach you everything, so no need to worry to search on Google.
Before I start explaining the method with you, let me tell the meaning of the requirements, if you are a beginner. I don’t want to make it understandable for pros only, but the real thing is to explain the whole matter to a starter guy to help him making money.
A Blog/Website: If you are a blogger, then you must be knowing meaning of this.
What is HTML and CSS: HTML and CSS are languages to create and stylize your webpage as you wish with special effects. You will need basic knowledge of it because you will have to make your design attractive, and catchy, highlighting the call to actions etc.
An Email Autoresponder: A service that sends email automatically after one subscribes to your blog and lets you set email courses for specified time. Eg: You want to send 1 email to subscriber for the first 10 days after he subscribes, this service providers let you do it.
I have tried affiliate marketing but had no success. It is a hard field but not impossible. I agree that you have got to have a good product available but I wanted to add another thing. When you work as an affiliate, you want to make sure your associates deliver the promised products. Bad business ethics can affect your market and give you a bad name. A rule of thumb is to purchase and try the product first so that you can find out if it's a reputable deal or not. Better safe than sorry.
Most of the bloggers who have their own website prefer to be an affiliate. The process is not difficult but it is not something that happens overnight.
You need to understand the process, create a website that is attractive and useful to the people looking for your subject.
Making it attractive to your readers and learning to get the Search Engines to list you at the top of the results can be a bit more difficult. The Search Engine part is called SEO and requires a bit of time to master. User Experience Optimization UX is another thing that requires study but can be quite fun.
Interesting article. I have yet to see any program with 75% of the affiliate commission. So that would be something I am looking forward to as well. I wonder if some of those affiliate products are harder to sell.
all the bloggers tried this way of making money, but I am one who fails it, tried many affilaite links and sites to make money, but no use fo it, i guess you need 5000 followrs at least to earn or do money from affiliate links, have you tried and earned good money as blogger from affiliate links?
How do affiliate works? Because I have try one but hardly understand how it works which result in failure.
