As part of this, I will refer to Declan Dunn's book as well as other sources. However, if you have this kind of talent and ambition, you'll make money in any business. The question really is whether or not there's a reasonable payoff as an affiliate. First let's be very clear about what an affiliate program is. When you sign up to be an affiliate, you become a sales agent for a particular product or product line.
Commissions vary from company to company.
Some pay as little as three to five percent commission. The combination of the selling price of the article and the commission percent will determine how much the affiliate makes per sale. Payments to the agents are made at prearranged iintervals. In theory, affiliate programs sound like a great idea. Without any investment in inventory, a person can sell useful items and make money just taking orders.
