Your Affiliate Force

If you're new to online marketing, you might be wondering what a network of affiliates is... Let me tell you by explaining how you may have actually participated in one without even knowing what it was called. Many companies allow people to promote their products and if they make a sale, they give them a portion or percentage of the profits. This is what's called an "Affiliate (or Reseller) Program". The people who do the promoting do so without being paid UNTIL they actually generate a sale. After the merchant has been paid, they receive a check, a direct deposit, or a PayPal payment for their portion of the sale. Merchants are happy to do this because they don't have any advertising cost and they get traffic to their site. When a sale is generated, and only when a sale is generated, do they ever pay anything to the affiliate. And believe it or not, some merchants have over 100,000 affiliates or more that actively promote their product and services for a portion of the profits. Can you imagine having thousands of salespeople promoting your product without having to pay them a cent until they make you money?
