When someone you refer to a website buys, the company you are an affiliate of pays you a commission. In many cases, it is also possible to make money from the efforts of people that you introduce to the affiliate program. You can expand your product line by joining and promoting more than one affiliate program. Finally, you can operate your own affiliate program to promote the sale of your own products and services.
