Imagine having an endless number of websites promoting your product or service without spending a cent until a paying customer is referred. You can do this with what's called an "affiliate program".

Affiliate programs are a great way to get other people to promote your product or service for you. For every paying customer, your affiliates refer to your sitea and you pay them a commission. And since you only pay when you make money, it's an extremely low-risk option.

Here our marketing consultant for small business in Brisbane explain how it works: Your affiliates send visitors to your site using banner ads, text links, letters of referral and so on, while you track these referrals using special software. It's an extremely powerful way to grow your business because it automates your traffic generation. To get started with your own affiliate program, you need to establish your commissions. (To keep your affiliates motivated, you should pay them 40 to 50 percent of your profits per sale.)

Affiliate programs are an ideal way to automate your traffic generation because other people are marketing your site for you.
