No, he's saying for about every 1000 impressions of a product, text link, what have you, you'll make about $5 in comission.

I believe that people can earn a living from affiliate programs and a good living to.

Many people fail with affiliate programs because they either:

get greeding and join 1000's of programs instead of putting all of their efforts on to a few programs

When people join affiliate programs they think they'rel earn a quick buck, when it actually takes time and effort before you actually succeed

People also fail because they don't promote their affiliate link enough, or they promote it in a rubbish way. For example, some people add about 10 - 20 banners on one page with their affiliate ids attached, and they expect to make sales from that.


To make money from affiliate programs, it is best to choose programs where they offer a highly demand product that is easy to sell in world wide market today.

If you are trying out affiliate programs for the first time, it will also be best to choose programs that offer a low minimum payout and also pays monthly or sooner.

The main affiliate programs that are working for me are PPC Search Engines. This is because they pay with a low minimum payout, pays monthly or sooner, pays a high percentage of their commissions to their affiliates, some even paying as high as 90% of their bidded clickthru commissions.

Another good thing about ppc search engines is that you are paid per click and not per sale. This means that it is easier for you to earn money from them.

Another good way to earn money from affiliate programs is to refer other affiliates and let them earn the money for you.

Hope the above comments will help you in your decissions about affiliate programs.

Hi Linda

[quote="P2P Archive"]...so what do you make of my site?

First of all, it's on a subject I know very little about, so I don't feel competent to comment on the content. Perhaps it needs a link to an introduction for beginners. Your About Us page doesn't explain what p2p programs are.

Also, explanations give you an excellent opportunity to build a keyword-rich page for search engines Wink

I find the site a little surprising. In one sense it concentrates on a particular niche, which is good, but when it comes to promoting products and services, you cover everything from Viagra to Web hosting. I have no idea which of the products you're advertising will appeal to your visitors. I guess you'll have to experiment and see.

One way to find out what you're visitors are interested in is to join the Amazon program and promote a few books. You'll find that people tend to go to Amazon, click around and you'll find you earn only a very small commission that makes it hardly seem worth the trouble. However, if you're lucky you may see valuable patterns emerge in the topics of the books your visitors buy. You can use that info when choosing new products to promote.

No such luck. It's just a way of expressing how much you MIGHT earn for 1,000 visitors. It's a way of comparing the success of one program with another. Another way is to compare EPC - earnings per click. At the risk of confusing you further, Commission Junction uses the term EPC but there is means earnings per 100 clicks.

By the way, banners tend to be about the worst way of promoting affiliate products these days because people have learned to skim over them. Text links and personal endorsements giving precise details about how a product has helped you are much more effective.

The reason i couldnt believe it at first, i mean you selling other poeples products and making a lot of money perhaps thousands if your lucky and do it well, just sounded too good to be true...


It happens! For me, it's been happening for years Wink

Just make one small improvement to your business every day. Keep doing that, and you'll get there.

Good luck.

thanks for the advice people, the about us section, yep your correct about that i must expand on that, i was thinking to sell products such as books yes, but also programs like ad-aware removes sopyware form your computer, which may gather once installing p2p software so it does relate. Also electrical things, such as dvd players, dvd's things like that which do relate to my target market, i will be building the shop section soon, and using clickbank and amazon associates (which i have used before) i will sort out the about us page, once this is done i will let you lot know so you can rate it, thanks again for your time,

Merry Christmas to you All!
Godbless
