How Affiliate Sites Work

Lets make this simple and compare a website to a candy or soda vending machine. You buy a machine, buy inventory stock the machine and place the machine in a good location. Someone buys a candybar for $1.00 and you paid $0.75 so you earned $.025.

Now add your time for checking and stocking the machine, buying more inventory and restocking the machine. It becomes lots of work. But you have a working business 24/7/365 that is always open and always has the potential to earn you money.

The down side is cost, initial investment and restocking costs. You also encur spoilage and maintenance that can seriously offset the profits.

Lets say you could just have the good parts of the business and do it for free.

You can by setting up a free website. The website will be open 24/7/365 and the products will be restocked automatically. You will not even have to go and pick up the money, it will be sent directly to you.

So what do you have to do?

You need to put the website in a good location. You can do this by posting urls, placing a few free ads and getting people to shop at your store. For doing that you get a percentage of the gross sales.

The biggest upside is you can manage your webstore from your bedroom for a few minutes each night.

The more traffic you generate, the more money you make. Simple, easy and all the tools you need are in the management console.
