Chinese Medicine Affiliate Programs

Posted on April 21, 2009 by 9 Comments

http_wwwOne of the most amazing things about the Internet is the ability to have passive income.
These days, passive income can come from Google Adsense (one example of many options that are out there), and affiliate programs.
It seems that when it comes to Chinese Medicine, the affiliate program options are very slim- almost close to none.
There are a few programs out there, sure, but I keep wondering why there are just a few and not many programs.
In this post I will try to understand this issue, hoping to reach an answer and maybe help make a change.

Affiliate programs- huh?
As I e-mail with many practitioners around the globe, I find that many don’t know what an affiliate program is.
For the long and detailed version- click here (recommended).
Basically, when you have a website, you can recommend certain products and refer to a certain store to get more information and buy that product. If a person buys the product from your link- you get a certain percentage from that sale. More people buy through your links equals to making more money.
Amazon is a great example for an affiliate program that helped make an on-line store huge. With thousands of people on their affiliate programs, they are a well-known on-line store, with thousands of “sale agents”, that are all over the world, selling their products- baby products, books, CD’s, DVD’s, MP3′s and more.
