Affiliate marketing commissions are something you earn based on the compensation plan of the affiliate program you join. There are numerous ways you can earn commissions in affiliate marketing and one way is really paying off.

In the old days of boiler rooms telemarketers were paid to create leads for siding salesmen. They would dial for hours trying to get a prospect to allow salesmen over to their home. Many telemarketers made extremely good money generating leads.

Today telemarketing is virtually dead as a lead generation source. The no call list pretty much put an end to them. However the Internet has opened up a whole new fantastic income stream known as cost per action programs.

With these programs you drive traffic to a page were you ask your visitor to perform an action. Some of these can be as simple as asking them to submit their email address or zip code.

Did you know that you could earn a six figure income just promoting offers and only ask the visitor to type in one thing?

Some of the simple one line forms could come from companies such diaper companies, ring tones, iPhone's and so on.

Other forms can be more complicated and could ask your website visitor to provide several pieces of information. These would be more common in industries such as real estate or mortgage refinancing.
