Google. The small fee is worth the investment because you can drive more traffic to your site by capitalizing on Google's large customer base.

Amazon.com associate program is also one of the best affiliate programs in the World Wide Web. Once you have become an associate member of this affiliate program, you can start earning commissions by selling the products provided by the company through your website. Normally the amount of commission is about 5% to 10% of the product price. Amazon.com provides a very lucrative commission system whereby the more you earn, the higher the percentage. You should sell the products based on the contents of your website because the people who visit your website are basically interested in your topic so naturally they might want to buy the products that are related to the your website contents. For example, my website is providing free Visual Basic tutorial so I sell things like Visual Basic software and Visual basic books. I have been with Amazon.com for around 10 years and I would say that the income I get is satisfying, though it may not be as good as Google's Ad sense.

The third way to earn online money is to sell things over the auction sites. If you have some physical products to sell, you can always sell them through auction sites such as e-bay. Selling through e-bay has its advantage as it is the largest online auction site in the world which means your market reach is global. In order to guarantee that you can enough supplies to sell, you must find reliable suppliers who can provide consistent supplies so that you can deliver the products to your customers seamlessly. Besides, you must make sure the quality of the products match the prices, and you must engage a good transport or courier service provider to deliver your products to your customers in time. Moreover, you need to provide after sale service.

Lastly, I wish to say that you have to put a lot of hard work in order to build a successful and profitable home based affiliate business. Besides, you need to be imaginative and creative too. But I can ensure you that the initial efforts you put in will allow to enjoy the kind of income that will be way beyond your expectation, and it will bring you revenues even while you are sleeping! You will become a person that can enjoy uncommon freedom by having a lot of time and money. I am already walking along this path and I hope you can join me too!
