Affiliate programs can be structured in a number of ways. However, most programs involve a company providing their affiliate partners with a unique trackable code that can be shared with their customers and clients. Each time the code is used to make a purchase, the affiliate is rewarded. Purchase-Based Commission Structures. The affiliate partner gets paid when someone uses their code to make a purchase on the merchant’s website. Traffic-Based Commission Structures. The affiliate partner gets a commission based on the number of people they refer to the company’s website—regardless of whether those visitors make a purchase or perform some other action. Customer Acquisition-Based Commission Structures. The affiliate partner gets paid when their promotion helps the merchant close a new deal or sign a new customer.

Easy to start: The investment required to get into affiliate marketing is not much. Apart from the costs associated with buying a domain and hosting it, there is no other cost involved except for maybe a tool or two (such as benchmarking tools to test product performance, and the like) which would still not put a dent in your wallet. You can write the articles by yourself; if you think writing is not something up your alley, you can outsource the content to freelance writers.
Each affiliate program is different. Sometimes you will get paid a fixed amount based on someone subscribing to a service. Some other times you will get paid a fixed commission on sales.
