To become an affiliate, you may join the affiliate programs of individual online businesses or merchants. You may also join some affiliate and/or advertising networks too. Through these programs/networks, you will be able to select products, services, offers, you can promote as an affiliate online.

There are three main types of programs you can make money as an affiliate, these are CPC (cost per click), CPM (cost per mille) and CPA (cost per action) affiliate programs. CPC pays per click, while CPM pays per one thousand impressions or views of advertisers' ads or content. CPA pays per sale and for every lead/traffic, which performs a required action on advertisers' websites.
