Press Release Summary: One of the best ways to create a web-based business without
creating a product of your own is affiliate marketing.


Press Release Body: An affiliate program is basically a commission-earning program,
where you sell someone\'s product in exchange for a percentage of the sale. While
with hard products, you can earn 10% to 20%, with digital products, you can earn
from 50% to 75%. Since the cost of running a business that sells a digital product
is far less than the cost of manufacturing and delivering a physical product, the
website owner can afford to give you a bigger commission.

Downloadable products, then, are recommended for most affiliate programs. They are
also popular because they are ideal for our instant gratification society. The way
to locate affiliate programs is to either join an affiliate network where you can
sell a variety of merchant\'s products from different website or to join an
individual affiliate programs based on a single website.

Another important feature is to direct visitors to a website that is tightly
niche-focused, where you can pre-sell the product before sending the visitor on to
the merchant website. Once the visitor, who is attracted to your website by
strategically placed ads or articles or forum postings, lands on your pre-selling
website, they will click through to the merchant\'s site from a link on your site.
When they click through, their cookies carry your affiliate code. Should they choose
to buy from the merchant website, based on your recommendations, you will be
credited with the sale.

One of the best ways to set up your website to pre-sell is to create a review site.
These are pages on your website that compares and contrasts the features of several
related products you\'ve pre-selected to sell. The way to develop this page is to
visit your merchant sales pages and review the features and benefits of the
products. You can also buy products, too, and comment on your user experience with
them.

After studying affiliate marketing for some time, marketing pioneer, Shawn Chaney,
has found that the best way to learn how to set up a review site is to use the
system created by Stephen Glazer. He has also found that the best tools to use to
create the most profitable campaigns is through Google Assassin. However, excellent
as these tools are for developing an effective and profitable affiliate marketing
business, your chances of success are accelerated with the intensive tutoring
available from Wealthy Affiliates University.

Shawn Chaney has developed review pages that detail exactly how to use the features
of Review Site Dollars, Google Assassin, and Wealthy Affiliates University to
maximize your affiliate earnings. You can find out more about his researched
