In a nutshell, affiliate marketing is a kind of marketing where merchants pay publishers for referrals of visitors to their site. Oftentimes, they do that through an affiliate marketing network such as AffiliateBOT. A merchant (i.e AsiaJam) is a site that sells stuff, such as books, clothes, fragrances etc.

In your case, you're the publisher. Your role is to promote and make your visitors go to a merchant site. You'll be paid based on a type of action your visitor performs. For instance, our 123inkjets program states that the commission is $12.60 per sale. That is for every visitor from your site who buys something from 123inkjets, you'll be paid $12.60!

However, not all merchants are looking for sales. Some will reward you for a lead, which normally requires that your visitors give their email information or particulars. These pay less, but also so much easier for your visitors to fulfill because it doesn't involve buying anything. For example, PayDayAdvanceCorp pays $17.50 per form submission!

You can get started in three easy steps:

1. Get a website. You'll need a site to put up banners to promote the programs. This can be a blog, a free hosted site, or a registered website. Do not create a site for the sake of throwing up a bunch of banners and expect anyone to click on them. Your site should contain some solid content like videos, articles etc. Banners are always secondary. You attract visitors because of content.

2. Sign up. Once you sign up with us, you can choose from a myriad of programmes you can promote, each with a different payout and requirement. Choose a few that are related to your site and put them up.

3. Get paid. When your start channeling visitors to merchants and they match the requirements, you'll see the money coming in. We pay via Paypal or check on the 15th of every month. However, we only pay when the amount accumulates to $50 and above.
