Affiliate marketing is one of the fastest growing and lucrative online markets today. For those of you who have no idea what affiliate marketing is, here’s a definition from Wikipedia:

Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. Affiliate marketing—using one website to drive traffic to another—is a form of online marketing, which is frequently overlooked by advertisers. While search engines, e-mail, and website syndication capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers’ marketing strategies. Research has estimated that, in 2006, affiliates worldwide earned US$6.5 billion in bounty and commissions from a variety of sources in retail, personal finance, gaming and gambling, travel, telecom, education, publishing, and forms of lead generation other than contextual advertising programs such as Google AdSense.

What is NETELLER’s affiliate program all about?

Our affiliate program is set up to make you money. Affiliates promote our awesome payment solution to their customer base and, in return, get a sweet bonus. For every customer referred to us, we pay the affiliate 20% of the referred member’s first online transfer to a merchant site up to €20. We also throw in a bonus for the new member, which is 10% of the first transfer of funds up to €10. And for highly active affiliates, for every 100 new transacting members they send to us, we pay an additional €200.

€20 per referral may not sound like a lot, but it can add up fast. With so many consumers looking for a quality online financial tool (like NETELLER)—there are plenty of referrals to be had. One of our top affiliates has already sent us over 430 new members this year. This has earned him over €7000. That’s €7000 for getting people to click a link and sign up.

€7000 might not be enough to quit your day job, but why not pair it up with a few other merchants? Many affiliates belong to several different programs. Our affiliate program makes a nice supplemental offering to other affiliate programs.

Consider this—if you have an affiliate site, and you are sending customers to an online merchant that pays you for referral traffic, those customers still need a financial tool to transact with your merchant. That’s where we come in. Send your customer to us first to get their payment option secured, then send them to the merchant complete with a NETELLER account ready to go. That way our affiliate bonus is a nice double dip for your overall affiliate earnings.

But that’s only one example. There are tons of ways you can make more. Visit our NETELLER affiliate program for more information and sign up to be an affiliate today.
