How much money do you make in a week’s time? Do you think it’s enough? Not enough? Does it accurately reflect your abilities, talents and skills? If not, then here is a simple way to, without a lot of extra time, supplement your income and reach the dreams you thought were too far away. The internet has changed all that.



A free affiliate program is one in which the company in question “piggy backs” on your website. Don’t have a website? You can do affiliate marketing with these programs through email, too. But, if you do have a website, here’s how it would work.

You add the company’s link to your website. Sound simple enough? Then, each time users click the link for the company from YOUR WEBSITE, you generate income. There are several free affiliate programs to choose from so finding one that actually compliments your web content or text is easy.

There are “Pay-Per-Click” programs that offer you payment based on how many times their link is clicked from your website. There are also “Pay-Per-Lead” programs that, if a user comes to their website from yours and makes an inquiry, the lead being generated from your website provides you income. There are “Pay-Per-Sale” programs that actually pay you a commission based on the monthly overall income your website has helped the company produce. These commissions range from 5% all the way up to50% or more.

There has been great success experienced, proven by additional income, by many web owners. If you are interested in the email version, contact the specific company that you want to do business with and ask how their affiliate program works. The average monthly earnings fall somewhere between $250 to endless. This is because some affiliate programs also exercise their rights to multi-level market. 

In a program such as a multi-level-marketing program, the home base is the company. They have your involvement which is tier one. If you sign on another party, they are considered tier two and whatever income tier two generates, tier one gets a cut of and so on. If you are able to sign up lots of parties to participate in such a program, you can sit back and just watch the money roll in.

These free affiliate programs are as real as the money they generate. Many have left their full time jobs to solely devote their (limited) time to affiliating themselves with different programs. One small comment; make sure that you are affiliating yourself with companies that not only reflect a similar interest as the web content you already have (as users look up keywords or phrases based on their particular search) but also do not do business with free affiliate programs that have been found to be scams, don’t fulfill their promises or otherwise only offer poor service or quality. This “affiliates” you with that company and, although it may not be true, users may perceive that you are part of what is bad about their experience. Remember, perception is reality.
