A word of wisdom: Read the affiliate contract carefully. Mostof the businesses are legitimate but there are a few out there that are trying to rip your off while making a quick buck. Justbe careful and review your affiliate agreement carefully. If you don't feel comfortable about a program don't join.

Here are some ways to look for a good affiliate program.

1. Do they pay only for the first purchase or do you get a percentage of the future purchases by that customer.

2. How much do they pay and for how do they pay? Purchases? Click throughs?

3. Will the program interest my customers?

4. Can you view your account on a regular basis to see how the program is doing?

5. At what intervals are the commissions paid? Make sure this is in the agreement.

There a lots of good affiliate programs out there for your home based business and if you will spend some time in research you can find the right programs for you. Soon you will be makinggood money in an affiliate marketing business.

I wish you the very best.  Donnie De Loney
