Earn money without a product!

Affiliate programs are programs where you get commission in several ways. These methods are:

1. Commission on displaying links or advertisements
2. Commission on referals
3. Commission on selling products from someone else

Commision on displaying links.

Some companies will pay you commission for displaying their links or their advertisements. Every click on a link could mean a commission for you. Off course you'll need a lot of links or advertisements to be clicked to earn a subtantial income unless you'll find a company willing to pay you a giant commission for their advertisements or links. And yes, these companies are out there.

In the early years of internet links and advertisements where paying "gold" for a display on a webpage. With the growth of the internet and websites this amount of commission decreased substantially, although as said there are still companies out there willing to pay a reasonable commission.
Just take a look at the advertisement below. It pays me $ 4800 a month.

Commissions on referals

There are companies out there that actually pay you money when you refer someone to them that buys their product or services. Commissions can be as high as 75% for the product in question or a steady amount paid once or monthly to you.

Commissions on products of someone else

Selling products of someone else can be the most lucrative. If you have full resell rights then you earn most of the time 100% of the commission. Large companies like Amazon or Clickbank will give you a decent commission but selling an ebook or software program from a small company can give you a commission up to 75% or when having the full resell rights 100% commission for the product.

What is needed for a start with this?

Except for referring people to buy a product you'll need a website. Without a website you can't display advertisements or links. A good place where you can get a domain, a websitebuilder and hosting in one is GDI
GDI is a program that lets you have your own domain and by refering others you also can build a residual income. You see that you have several income streams available for your first paycheck.

Secondly you need to find companies that use an affiliate program so that you can advertise,sell or refer people. The GRIN marketing team can help you find more ways to build your residual income or teach you more ways to earn money for FREE.
