2. Affiliate Programs
An affiliate program has 3 parties: the customer, the affiliate (you), and the merchant.
Everytime the affiliate sends a customer to the merchant website he receives a commission from the merchant.
The affiliate needs to promote the merchant website and he is paid everytime he gets a customer.
There are 3 types of affiliate programs: pay per sale, pay per lead and pay per click.
Pay per sale: The merchant pays you everytime you send a person to the merchant website and he buys the product. The biggest pay per sale affiliate programs are Clickbank and Amazon.
Pay per lead: The affiliate gets a commission for each visitor he sends to the merchant website who signs up as a lead (meaning that he fills out a certain form at the merchant website)
Pay per click: In these kind of programs the affiliate gets paid for each visitor that clicks on the links to the website of the merchant company.
3. Freelance
If you have certain skills (writting, design, programming) you can generate a very good income as a freelancer.
Some of the most popular freelance jobs online are: content creation, design, programming, business consulting, web research, customer service and virual assistance, legal consulting and finance consulting among many others.
