I'm not sure, but I put a lot faith in it not being very likely as your question has been posted for over 3 minutes and not attacked by the Answer Vultures.

There are too many unfiltered tempting and irresistible offers on Yahoo and out there that only prudent people would avoid. This may not be the best answer for planted questions, but just a little legal disclaimer to help protect Yahoo answer that may be banned/blocked/excluded by Yahoo error 999 filters. However, until then, for any genuine online business opportunities, work from home, data entry and paid survey jobs search google and yahoo for banned tyneham answers, alerts and warnings on the subject. See tyneham profile/blogs links, or email tyneham.

Watch for the following criteria as you evaluate affiliate programs...

- High quality product or service -- remember, it's your reputation that is on the line. Don't recommend products you wouldn’t buy. Be aware of programs that are just a way to legally bribe affiliates to recommend overpriced products in order to collect excessive commissions.

- Merchant has a good site that sells effectively.

- Ability for affiliates to link straight to individual products, rather than just to the home page. (If the visitor has to find the product that you recommend, your Conversion Rate plummets.)

- Great affiliate support is important. It indicates a high degree of commitment to the program and its affiliates.

- Pays good commission -- hard goods have lower margins than digital ones. So their commissions will be lower. Still, you should make at least 15% (hard good) or 25% (digital good) on any product that you recommend.

- Must be free (no charge) to join, no need to buy the product.

- Two-tier commission or more-- if the program pays a commission on affiliates who join because of you, this is also great.

- Lifetime cookie -- do you receive a commission if the person you referred returns and buys within one month? Three months? The cookie that tracks this should not expire or last at least 6 months.

You could find good affiliate programs on the Net but all that mean nothing if you don’t know what you are doing. If you do not educate yourself first and learn the marketing principles and techniques that rule e-commerce today you will meet failure and frustration.

I started this Network marketing business and it is really easy. They have such a good system that you practically don't have to do anything. It works because it is so cheap to get in that everyone I have talked to has tried it out.
Best of all, you do not pay anything to get started!

As said earlier, just evaluate the person or company you want to work with. If they are reliable, offer good quality etc.
Depending on that, you can earn a lot of a little.
