Welcome to How To Manage and Sell Affiliate Programs. This book is dedicated to all those people wanting to make money reselling products, services and programs via the Internet.
Making money by reselling another company’s product is not a new concept. Businesses have been utilizing this type of sales approach for years. Probably the most well known type of traditional affiliate program would be any commission sales person. They make money by reselling a product for a company and they are only paid when they make a sale. Sometimes they are actual employees for the company and receive benefits and other times they are contractors who receive no benefits but they get higher commissions.
Selling affiliate programs can be a very lucrative business. However, just like commission sales or people who are in business for themselves, it takes a certain amount of self-discipline and determination. If you have what it takes and you are willing to make a few sacrifices, and you find programs that you believe in and treat you and your customers like people and not numbers, then you will succeed.
