Affiliate programs are great because they let you earn money without actually creating the product yourself. Generally the author will offer commissions on sales ranging anywhere from 10% up to 75% (with 40-50% being the norm).

I've broken down affiliate programs into the following categories:

Some of the most popular affiliate programs are:

Clickbank - Hundreds of authors sell thousands of digital products thru Clickbank (myself included). Clickbank lets you immediately add products to your website via simple text links.

Commission Junction - Many many big name retailers and merchants offer their products here, including CompUSA, eBay, Toshiba, and more. Each merchant provides their own banners and text links for you to include on your site.

There are lots of tools available for you to boost up your affiliate income as well! They include:
