Welcome to the money-spinning world of Internet Marketing. In Affiliate Marketing a company pays an affiliate (you) to create sales from a button, banner, or link placed on your website, newsletter, e-mail or pay per click advertising. You make sure you get targeted visitors to those links and believe it or not, you will start to make money.

Making money online with affiliate marketing for instance can be very rewarding and money can be made practically instantly. As a matter of fact, the fastest money I have ever made online was around $800 in less than 2 minutes work. You can read more about that here.

There are huge amounts of companies in hundreds of industries that will pay money to you for giving those leads, registrations or sales. It is tremendously easy to become an affiliate. There are several large Affiliate Program Network Providers. They serve as go-between for companies and affiliates. For you as an affiliate, these online companies provide a very important and precious service.

They collect payment from the merchants and combine affiliate reporting and payments. An Affiliate Program Network Providers brings companies and affiliates together to form profitable partnerships. A partnership works like this: the affiliate advertises for the merchant and places links to the merchant on their website, newsletter, emails, or Pay per Click ads such as Google AdWords.

When a potential customer clicks through the link they are sent to a specified page of the merchant’s site. When they complete the action desired by the merchant (fill out a form, buy something, etc.) the affiliate is then compensated. The Affiliate Program Network Providers makes possible all aspects of the partnership and tracks all elements of the transactions.

Joining an Affiliate Program Network Provider is totally free and there are no personal purchase requirements. You just fill out a form. It can happen that while applying, affiliates must wait a few days for their approval into the program, but usually acceptance is automatic.

The top five Affiliate Program Network Providers are: Commission Junction (CJ), Clickbank, Linkshare, BeFree, and Performics. CJ is the largest of these Providers and manages the network, tracking and reporting on activity in real time, as well as handling monthly commission payments.

CJ tracks billions of affiliate link impressions each month. CJ’s clients include leading online marketers: Capital One, NextCard, and The New York Times Home Delivery. Every month Commission Junction either sends you a check or deposits your commission directly into your bank account according to your preference.

Because affiliates are so beneficial to merchants many new merchants join CJ and other Affiliate Program Providers every week. Affiliate Programs are the ideal way to make money quickly and easily online. (No need to come up with your own product or concern yourself with any of the hassles or headaches involved in actually stocking, selling or distributing a product). Just figure out a clever way to promote the product or service effectively and then sit back and collect your monthly commission checks.

Or, better yet, have them deposited directly into your bank account. Internet Marketing can truly make your wildest dreams come true.

Don’t be fooled however thinking Internet Marketing is easy and needs only a few hours of work per week. The build up and maintenance of the foundation upon which you will build your own internet business needs devotion, knowledge, care and a lot of hard work in order for it to become (very) profitable.
