How do I make money?

Depending on which affiliate program you choose, depends on how you make money. Some affiliate programs are set up so that each time somebody clicks on the link, you get paid. Some affiliate programs will give you a set amount of commission on each person that signs up with them that came from your site. Others affiliate programs will give you a percentage of the sale. After you place their information on your website, it's up to you how much money you will make!

How do I get people to click?

First is choosing which companies to promote! This is very important. Take a moment to sit back and really think about who comes to your website. I will take it to the extreme here with this example. You run a very family orientated site. The people who come to your site are mothers, kids, families. Do you have banners for an adult oriented sites? We all know the answer. Now what if you had links to toy stores, book stores, and a travel company that offers special deals for parents to have a romantic weekend ALONE. Your visitors would certainly need those type of links. You can even take it one step further. Let's say you have a section on 15 minute meals for families on the go and you help promote a book store (Amazon is one that everyone knows and trusts). Then provide your visitors with books that specialize on this topic.

You help your visitors by doing the research on the which books give the information they want. You make money. Is it really that simple? The answer is yes. Will you make a fortune overnight? Not overnight but you will make extra income and if you take the time to develop a high quality site with quality links, you can make a very good income from Affiliate Programs.
