Learn About eBay Widgets

One of the easiest and lowest risk ways to make money on the internet is affiliate programs. Using a link or widget on your website you recommend or direct  those ready to purchase to a website or product. In exchange the seller gives you a monetary reward for sending them. The beauty of these programs is that you assume very little costs, so the money you make from the sale is almost pure 100% profit.

Although it is happening on the Internet, there’s really nothing new in this kind of arraignment. Manufactures, service companies, and all sorts of business have hired sales people who earn their livings on commissions gained from the sale.

The amazing thing about the internet is the potential income stream you can create. According to The Marketing Sherpa in 2006 there was over six billion dollars created in affiliate income.

One of the easiest ways to get started with is the eBay Partner Network or EPN. Rencently brought ‘in house’ by eBay the EPN is still growing strong. Currently there are over 50,000 others who are using the EPN.

Joining the eBay Partner Network is easy once you understand their policies. But one of the biggest obsticles to overcome is that in most cases you must have a website up and running to join. It’s kind of a catch 22 – you want to create a website with their links and widgets, but you can’t get them until you’ve already purchased a domain and published the website online.
