Who is an Affiliate?
An affiliate or reseller, is an independent party that promotes products and services of an advertiser in exchange for a commission. An affiliate displays an advertiser's ads, text links, or product links on their Website.
The affiliate is paid a commission by the advertiser when a visitor to their Website takes a specific action such as clicking on the ads (pay-per-click- here the company running the program pays the affialiate whenever someone simply clicks on its banner or link from your site. The more the clicks, the higher rate per click)
Another action the Website visitor can do is filling out a form, subscribing to a service or making a purchase (pay-per-lead). Not all affiliate programs require a sale to be made for you to get paid. Some companies pay you when someone requests a free trial or sample of a product or service. It's up to the company to later convert the lead into a sale.

We have found that the stuff which can work for Indians and is global in it's true sense is the concept of "Affiliate Promotion".
Many companies (merchants) run a lot of promotional work and campaigns on the Internet from time to time in order to increase their popularity and sales online. Now, to run a campaign across the Internet a company will have to invest millions in manpower, office space, computer systems etc. which adds a lot to its fixed overheads. Instead of investing so much on fixed overheads for short duration campaigns, these companies completely outsource their work to people like us.
We DO NOT buy, sell or maintain stocks on behalf of these companies. Nither do we have to visit any place or meet anyone. Our job is to simply put their text or banner ads (with our tracking code in it) on our website. We get our share of revenue whenever someone clicks on these ads on our site. We can check our payment statistics anytime on our online account.
