1. Get people to sign up for eBay. You get $25 for each person that joins eBay by clicking a link on your site and then goes on to buy an item or win an auction on eBay in the next 30 days. 2. Get people to win eBay auction items from your site. You get up to 75% of what eBay makes on the auction. So, if your site is showing current listings for widgets and someone places a winning, $20 bid on a widget from your site, you would get anywhere from about $1.15 to $1.72 (50% - 75% of about $2.30). The percentage that you get depends on how much you have sold from your site. We're still in the 50% range. Ebay is worth considering depending on the hot trend.

Other Affiliate Programs Let's take seasonal hot trends for example. How about tax season. Did you know the people that sell "TurboTax", which is Intuit who also sells "Quicken" and "Quickbooks" and many other business software programs. Well you know something is going to be in the news about taxes especially considering the economic sewer we're all having to swim through right now. I have put in a number of Google Alerts and can't wait for April the 15th just to see what I am going to have to name the blog for the hot trend on taxes. And guess what. I'm an affiliate for INTUIT. Guess what else. I already have my banner ad code ready to paste into the blog and the article written in a general enough way that I can plug in the hot trend word about taxes regardless of what they are.
