When someone decides to get involved in affiliate marketing program by promoting different products and services online, there are two different options available.
One is to promote without having own website, by simply finding the products and services that are to be promoted, and driving traffic to the landing page of a website where these products and services are being sold and this can be done through social networking, articles, blogs etc.
Another best way to do this is having one's own website, making it search engine optimized by finding and incorporating right keywords in the website content making it more search engine friendly and having ads of those products and services appear on your website.
In either ways, affiliate marketing program can work and make some good money by generating commissions on final sales.

Here are some steps that can be followed to establish a great affiliate marketing network program:

1. First of all it's very important to identify where on internet can these products and services that offer commissions on sale be found? The answer is simple, there are hundreds of websites that allow merchants to post ads that would attract affiliates to promote their products or services and earn good commissions.
   
2. A domain name for a website needs to be purchased and hosting needs to be arranged for the same.
   Again there are several websites on the internet that offer domain names and hosting services at reasonable prices.
   
3. An attractive webpage needs to be created or this can also be done by someone who knows how to do this.
   By attractive it does not mean having more graphics or glittering fonts.
   Rather a webpage with very simple design but with lot of meaningful content enriched with right keywords looks more attractive to search engines.
   
4. After a webpage is setup, ads for promoting products and services as an affiliate can be incorporated in it so that it clearly becomes visible on your webpage and gives an option to visitors to go ahead and click on them.
   
5. Now at this step it's really important to realize that just having a webpage setup with interesting content in it does not automatically drive traffic.
   To obtain precious time and email addresses of visitors to come and see your webpage, it has to offer something of value that is factual and would make a visitor feel that it's worth visiting your web page.
   It can be a mini course, a free guide, an eBook, discount coupons, etc.
   and you can trade all this stuff on your webpage by just asking for a visitor's name and email address to subscribe for newsletters through an opt-in form which would help you in list building.
   

After following all the steps mentioned above correctly, making money online with very little efforts is guaranteed.
Conclusion: Affiliate marketing network program can be a very lucrative online business that can prove to be a vital source of making millions of dollars online.
The only thing that needs to be taken care of is that it has to be incorporated in the right way and with right skills.
