Why use affiliate Internet marketing as a revenue source? An online affiliate business relies on merchants who willing share commissions for those who direct buyers to their web sites or portals. The profits that affiliates earn depend upon the amount of sales made through their affiliate links from those vendors.

Affiliate Internet marketing is much easier in modern times. Now a multi-billion dollar industry, e-commerce is growing dramatically. Many people are too busy to visit stores; they can search online to find products that serve every imaginable need and desire.

Affiliate products come in many sizes, shapes and from many sources. To be effective in searching for one or more products to sell, consider joining one or more affiliate marketing networks. These affiliate networks offer thousands of physical and digital products in many different categories.

Here is a list of nine of the most popular and useful networks that are free to join and promote:

Amazon.com

One of the biggest online retailers in the world is Amazon.com. Guess what, Amazon.com sells a lot more than books and it has an associate (affiliate program) that pays four (4) percent of every sale that you refer. The minimum payment threshold is $100 of earned commissions. What I like about Amazon.com is that there are so many products available for almost every imaginable niche market. Online book sales have soared, so once people go shopping, it's likely they will buy more than just one product when they visit Amazon.com. And you get 4% of every purchase they make.

Clickbank.com

Owned by Keynetics Inc. and online since 1998, Clickbank.com is the Internet's largest independent digital information product bookstore. There are tens of thousands of products in nine main categories covering hundreds of subjects. You can join Clickbank.com as an affiliate free of charge and sell products that give up to 75% commission to the seller. Clickbank's payment policy is fair and speedy. You can receive commission payment in as little as two weeks for a minimum of $25 - either by check or direct deposit to your specified bank account.

Commission Junction

Owned by Value Click, Inc. Commission Junction is a blended affiliate network, the CJ Marketplace*, provides publishers with opportunities to partner with leading advertisers while having access to millions of links and offers. These offers can include anything from pet supplies to gardening to travel services and millions more. CJ pays you a commission from the respective advertiser when a visitor to your portal or blog clicks on a link and takes a specific action such as filling out a form, subscribing to a service (both lead examples) or making a purchase (a sale). Payment is made monthly with a minimum commission account of $25.

PayDotCom's charges affiliates a of $0.50 to $1.50 for each transaction, which is based on the sale price of the product/service sold.

You can be paid when total commissions are triggered by a minimum payment threshold of $50. Payments are made monthly, and payment is made by check or ACH on the 20th of the month.

I encourage you to check out each of these programs and join one or more that are right for you. Remember, each of these affiliate internet marketing networks are professional and require that you conduct business ethically in agreement with their terms and conditions. Do it right and you can build a lasting and profitable online business.

I wish you all the best with your affiliate internet marketing,
