There are 25 million internet users in India and a majority of them are looking for some or the other way to earn something just sitting at home and working. Whenever somebody sees an advertisement like, work from home or free home jobs, they get into that. 90% of the viewers want some program which does not need any investment. Now a days there are lots of home based jobs and affiliate programs which offer these kinds of services, but there are some joining fees for these kinds of programs. Some offer these kinds of services without any joining fees.

I have come across a few good affiliate programs which we can start off without any investment and we can earn considerably if we are quiet serious about that. These kinds of programs are mostly affiliate programs which many portals have to promote their site or company. We can join this kind of program and earn by advertising the company and get a share from the sale or lead.

Types of Affiliate Programs

1. Forced Matrix

2. Unlimited Direct Down line

Forced Matrix

Forced Matrix is more popular now a day. In these kinds of programs, you are limited to direct number of down lines for example a 3 x 7 Forced Matrix where 3 are the width and 7 is the height of the Matrix. In this program you can have 3 direct down line and the others are spillovers and they get filled into the same team where there is a space. The advantage of this program is you can earn with the help of your senior members. Even if you have member under you who is really inactive, you can help him out by your work. The percentage of earning is high in the initial levels and keeps decreasing as you go lower, but you have more number of members in the lower level and you earn good.

Unlimited Direct Down line

In this kind of program you can recruit unlimited number of down line directly and you enjoy the benefit of the hard work. If you do not work, you do not earn anything.I have seen people earning hundreds of dollars every month in these kinds of programs.

How do the companies pay the affiliates?

The companies pay the affiliate by the advertisers they have and some by the sales and leads. The affiliates are given some assignments like visiting websites, reading emails, forwarding emails, participating in surveys and increasing the traffic to websites. The companies use the affiliates to work for promoting some products and sell their products. The biggest advantage for companies running affiliate programs is that the affiliates who have their own websites will put a link on their websites which increases the number of incoming links and thus the chances of having a better Page rank which is helpful for better ranking in search engine like Google. Some companies use the affiliates for email marketing. If a company has about 10000 affiliates they send advertisers emails to all their affiliates and they are asked to read these emails and forward to x number of friends. This kind of advertisement is very much affordable and effective.

How do you choose an affiliate program if you would like to join one?

I would suggest you to join an affiliate program which uses forced Matrix. You get the advantage of team work in this. You can advertise or make your down line by simple free classifieds and emails. Even Goggle Adwords are very effective, but you should be sure that its affordable for you.

So search for an affiliate program that really suits you.
