Have you ever been in a situation where you tell a friend or someone about a really great
shop where they can buy something they are looking for? In exchange you get a cut of the deal for setting up the connection.
An Affiliate programme is very similar to a networking opportunity that allows you to earn
money. Basically you send people to a particular website through your own site or via a link or URL that they follow. They
then buy something from that site and you are paid a commission.
So if you send people a link or you are a website owner and people visit another site from
yours you can earn money.
It's that simple!
Firstly you need to refer friends to bidorbuy or set up a website of your own to refer visitors
to bidorbuy. If you set up your own website, select a topic that you enjoy and have interest in. That way you can update it
and improve the site while doing something you get pleasure from.
By choosing a product or service in a small niche market where you have a passion for and
experience or knowledge would be the best place to start. By doing that you will draw more people to your site thus creating
a community of people who are all interested in the same thing which will increase the money you earn through the Affiliate
Programme. The more targeted your traffic, the better your chances that people will buy.
Remember if you have a website about something you enjoy and are interested in you will have
fun making money.

The bidorbuy Affiliate Programme works on a tiered scale where the more referrals you generate
the more you get rewarded. Affiliates are compensated based on three criteria:
- A fee paid per Confirmed Registered User* (on a tiered scale i.e. the more users referred the higher the fee paid per
user).
- A fee paid per click resulting directly in a Bid** (within the same session).
- A fee paid per user that signs up to a bidorbuy Selling Seminar.
