Well, let me tell you, web partnering, affiliate programs and reseller opportunities are here to stay on the net. The reason is that until now, there has never been a fail-safe and cost effective way to attract partners, sign them up, track their performance, and properly credit them for all their sales. With the Internet, all that is now possible. Here is an example. The visitor clicks, enters their email address, and the process has begun.
Email is so quick and easy for the user.
Best of all from Amazon's perspective, it costs practically nothing to send that visitor the information he needs by autoresponder. An enticing letter is waiting inviting them to return to the web site to fill out an online form. It is free, so the visitor fills out the form and soon the visitor is in business. Good affiliate programs are easy and uncomplicated to join. Most established affiliate programs have a powerful backend software that manages the entire relationship between the affiliates and the parent company.
