The Benefit of Using Affiliates
Affiliates can be your online sales force.
They make a commission (which you pay for) by delivering potential cutomers to your website.
They do this by a variety of methods, and usually by tapping into their exisitng streams of traffic.
For example they may already have an established site in your sector with customers
or they may be Search Engine Specialists who know how to gather particular types of traffic.
Whatever their methods, they can be found via Newtwork Agencies such as Affiliate Window or Webgains.These agencies offer 2 big advantages:
1. They have an army of affiliates waiting for you after you have joined up and paid them.
2. They guarantee the affiliates payment, which is one big concern affiliates have before they would send you traffic.The agencies reputation depends on keeping their affiliates happy and so they often ask you for money up front to pay for the next month's commissions.
