There is legitimate money that can be made in affiliate marketing. For many people this is a very effective way to make a great income from home when handled responsibly.
ALL PROGRAMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED "AT YOUR OWN RISK". Any business requires time and effort - and yess even money - to make it successful. THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES! They ALL require effort, some more than others. Please consider whether your association with any given company would help or hurt your current financial situation. If you're not sure you can afford it or invest the time into marketing it - DON'T JOIN IT.

TERMS:
FREE = No cost to become an affiliate, typically pay a smaller percentage in commissions but hey - there's not cash investment.
PAY TO JOIN = There may be a 'start up' or 'monthly membership' fee required to participate. Many times the commission rate is higher. In our list you will see a number in parentheses - this is the MINIMUM fee to join. Sometimes there pricing levels.
PROVEN = These are programs that we have personally participated in and actually received payment for our efforts.
DISTRIBUTORSHIPS = These programs typically require a 'start up' investment of anywhere from $20 - $2,000. Generally these include support from the company and/or other distributors, and may require monthly quotas.
WHOLESALE = These programs allow you to purchase products at 'wholesale' and then resell at whatever price you choose. Generally do not require a monthly minimum, although you may pay a one time 'admin or set-up' fee.
