For you part of selling the product, you will receive a percentage of the sale. The percentage changes depending on the product and product owner. Physical products may range from as low as 5%, while digital products can go as high or higher than 75%.
Affiliate programs vary almost as much as products do. A major factor in choosing a program should depend on the help the product owner is willing to offer you. While some programs may generate a tracking link for you, others may supply you with banners, text links, email and so on. A tracking link is a web address to the sales site or sales page that remembers that you sent the customer to the product page. This is how you get credit for the sale.
