What is an Affiliate Program?
Quite simply, an Affiliate Program is a partnership with a merchant who compensates you for any business you send that merchant via your marketing efforts. An Affiliate Program is thus an easy way to earn money from traffic (using online or offline marketing) to your website or via e-mail marketing.

How does an Affiliate Program work?
Traffic passes through your website anyway, right? Well, what an Affiliate Program does is harness that traffic to help you earn additional income. The way this works is simple: when a visitor to your site clicks on the link you have provided, that visitor will go to the merchant site. Once there, if the visitor performs a transaction on the merchant site, you earn a percentage in the form of commission. If the visitor doesn't spend any money on the merchant site you still won't have lost anything. It's a win-win situation...
