How to Earn Money Online Using Affiliate Programs Part 2: Maximizing Your Earnings with Napster's Affiliate Program

On February 8, 2007, Napster issued a press release that reported record sales of $28.4 million in the third quarter and expects to end the fiscal year at record subscriber levels. Isn't it about time you got a big piece of that pie?

To get started using Napster's Affiliate Program, just go to (http://www.napster.com/join_network.html) and sign up to become a Napster affiliate. Once you have finished signing up and you are approved as an affiliate, you can then start adding affiliate links to Napster on your website.

Go to the URL that you received in your approval email, login to your Napster affiliate account and select which banner ad and/or text links you would like to add to your site. Then simply copy the code that is given to you; this is your personal Napster link. This is important because this personal link is what tracks the signups, so that you get the commission if someone joins through your link. Now paste it on your social networking page, your blog, or any other website you may have.

Make sure you placed your Napster link or banner ad in a place on your site that gets the most visibility. This will better your chances that more people will click on your link or banner ad. Your goal is to send as many people through that affiliate link as possible.

You can add your link to MySpace, Facebook, Squidoo and any other place you can think of. Then you can just sit back, relax, and just wait for your check.

It is really that easy, that is if you only want to make a little money with Napster. To maximize these earnings, promote your sites that contain Napster links, the more you promote them, the more money you will make from their program.
