They’re existing since decades but these days, with the help of the internet, affiliate marketing programs are almost everywhere. From the smallest company who whish the find new clients to the largest corporation that wishes to strengthen her trademark, a lot of business are willing to pay to spread the word about their product and services.

Since it cost nothing to join these programs and because there is no need for any office and schedule, a growing number of individuals are taking an active part in this home based kind of online business. Some people will spread the news by starting a blog about the subject while others will target more on social medias like; Facebook, Yuwie, Twitter, Linkedin, MySpace and much more…

Will these individuals get paid? Most of the time, yes! In fact the portion of the amount that the affiliate company is paying is usually part of they’re advertisment budget, so if they find new customers they are in fact using these funds wisely. In reality thought what tend to happen is that most of the people who are trying to make some money with these programs don’t have enough knowledge or skills about making money online and don’t know how to market these programs. They end up making very little money, or no money at all because they are not able to reach the minimum payout required to receive they’re check. They end up giving up on the affiliate programs they’re promoting and leave the money on the plate… in which cases the affiliate company wins. But can we call this a scam for real?
