An affiliate is someone who refers another company's product from their site, email, blog, etc. and earn a commission for every sale that is made.

For example, say you have a site that talks about ipods. You could join apple.com's affiliate program and link ipod accessories from your site. Any sale that is made as a result from your link/referral earns you a commission.

Blossom, the question is why wouldn't you want to be an affiliate? If you have a website with traffic, it's one of the easiest ways to generate extra revenue from your site. It's how I make a living, Lisa too.

Yep. Don't know where I'd be without them. Blossom head on over to www.associateprograms.com for some tips on promoting affiliate programs. It's the best resource out there for people who want to learn how to best promote them.
