Frequently Asked Questions

I'm new to all this. What the heck is Affiliate Marketing and how do people make money with it?

Affiliate marketing is a simple concept. A business signs up "affiliates" to promote their products and services. In return, the  affiliates receive commissions, usually a percentage of the sale price.

This model has been proven to work very well for both businesses and affiliates. Businesses make more sales and online marketers increase their offerings as well as their revenue.

What are the different types of affiliate programs available on the web?

Most affiliate programs pay commissions for sales. Some pay simply for traffic. And still others pay for "action" or sign ups for a service.

Unless you have a website with huge daily traffic, your best bet will likely be pay per sale affiliate programs. But no matter which programs you decide to try, you'll find all the web's best programs here.

Are there really affiliate programs available in every niche market?

Just about! No matter what you are interested in promoting online, you should be able to find an affiliate program offering products or services to fit the bill. There are programs related to everything from automobiles, sports, food, travel, beauty and web marketing, just to name a few. You can earn money promoting just about anything you can think of!

How does AffiliateShowcase help online marketers make money?

It is a well-known fact (at least among Internet marketing gurus who make their living online) that the first step to serious affiliate commissions is owning a website and opt-in list where you can promote your best programs.

Unfortunately, that usually comes with a high-cost and difficult learning curve, which keeps most people from achieving success with affiliate programs. That's why 95% of all affiliates never make a single sale!

AffiliateShowcase solves this dilemma by giving affiliate marketers these important tools and allowing them to showcase their best affiliate products and opportunities.

Why should I pay for a Pro or Executive site when I can get it for free?

While you certainly can opt for the free site, we made the Pro and Executive version available for serious affiliates and affiliate managers. You'll get more exposure for your programs which means higher income much faster. Plus, you earn bigger commissions through two levels when other paid members sign up through your site.

How much is all this going to cost me if I decide to go with the Pro or Executive site?

Click here for current pricing. There are no charges other than the single monthly fee for the Pro or Executive site. There are no hosting fees, bandwidth charges or additional fees of any kind. You can also modify your site as often as you like with no added charges.

How does the opt-in list builder work? Is it really 100% automated with NO writing skills or work required?

This clever tool is quite powerful. Here's how it works... Our team of Internet savvy experts write the informative monthly newsletter then we release it though our unique emailing system. The program automatically inserts YOUR links so that when readers click for more information, they are taken to your sites! If you've ever wanted an email newsletter and all its financial rewards, but have not had the time required to pull it off, this is a great solution for you.

Is your built-in business opportunity a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) program or Network Marketing?

No, the included business opportunity we offer is a simple affiliate program. There is no charge to participate. Free members earn 10% commissions on direct sales of Pro and Executive sites. Pro and Executive members earn income on two tiers and higher commissions. Click here for all the Pro ad Executive site details.

Exactly how do I give away free sites and sell Pro and Executive sites to earn money?
