The easiest and most accessible example is the Amazon affiliate program. They have a plethora of products that can be promoted.  This program was devised in 1996 and Amazon was the first one to come up with something like this. 

Apart from being a giant in the online shopping industry, Amazon also offers one of the best ways to make money online.

b. The commission you get if you are successful in getting anyone purchase their products is 4%to 15% which is a good amount.

d. According to the volume scale system, you get more rate of commission if you offer more items. 

In all, this program is known for its simplicity. You do not have to work much. You just need to work upon spreading that link and once the purchase is made, you have money in your account which is very exciting because practically you did nothing. People also do it as a side business because it does not consume much of your time. Amazon does not leave any chances in becoming the mastermind. It has people all over the world to market its products and with the ability to keep them connected and benefit them, it is retaining those people.
