Why are Affiliate Programs so popular?

One of the reasons affiliate programs are so popular is that they offer a win-win situation for both merchant and affiliate. 

Merchant Advantage: The merchant's cost for advertising a particular product is limited (largely) to the percentage paid to an affiliate, and the merchant only has to pay when a purchase is actually made. This is much better than other forms of advertising, like banner advertising, where the merchant pays whether or not any purchase occurs.

Affiliate Advantage
: The Affiliate  stands to make some decent money, so long as enough visitors click on the affiliate links and make purchases. You don't have to go to the trouble of setting up e-commerce functions, take credit cards, or ship products; or get involved in fulfilment of orders. You just join some affiliate programs from amongst the many listed at AffiliateCurry.com and let someone else do the "dirty work".

If this sounds too good to be true, it's because it probably is. To be realistic, you need to see affiliate program income as a nice bonus to your main source of revenue, not the main source itself. To generate substantial income you need: (1) a lot of traffic, (2) merchants with generous payout policies, and (3) products well targeted towards the visitors who come to your site. 

The brighter side is that more and more people are taking their business online - and the number of online customers are also increasing by the day. So the future can only be bright for an earn from option like this one !
