Many people are aware that the addition of affiliate programs to your Web site is a way to start generating residual income. Although this is true, your Web site and your affiliate program must compliment each other for the best results. For example, if your product or service is health related, you would not want to include an affiliate program that is golf related. People visit your site because they have an interest in what you are offering. To capitalize on this, your affiliate program should be related to that product or service. If prospects see an affiliate program that is unrelated to your site, they may perceive this to be unprofessional, or they may even believe that the business is a scam. They probably will not click through to learn about the affiliate program or its products. So, it is essential to find an affiliate program that compliments your existing product line.

Placement of the affiliate ad is important. It should not be situated where it will compete with or interfere with the sale of primary products. Some people choose to make a separate page for each affiliate program, while others work them into their product pages. It is very important to make clear that the Ad is for additional information and that it will open in a new window so that there is no confusion. The idea is to compliment the main product and the site information rather than interfere with it.

Combining affiliate programs with a business Web site is a great way to establish multiple streams of income. Since business fluctuates, and you don’t want to have all your eggs in one basket, joining affiliate programs is a great way to ensure a steady flow of residual income. Adding affiliate programs to an existing Web site is not difficult. When you join a program, you are given an affiliate link which you can copy and paste onto your Web site. So, with thoughtful consideration and planning, you can make affiliate marketing a part of your Internet business and boost your income potential.
