In most cases, you become an affiliate free and any company you become affiliated to become an income stream for you.

You can definitely make stupendous amount of money in internet marketing through these models. The beauty being that, so long as your affiliate marketing site is in place, cash will continue to flow in to your pocket provided you continue marketing efforts to improve traffic at your site.

Similarly, you can also offer affiliates the opportunity to make money from marketing your product when you develop one. This arrangement is a win-win situation for both parties; you and your affiliates. You can also offer affiliate sites for related merchandise that you do not sell as this has the potential to massively increase sales and providing the much desired reciprocal linking with other sites. This has the advantage of improving your standing among search engines. The benefit actually goes both ways as both companies can benefit from their individual internet marketing efforts as well as from higher search engine rankings.

Another way through you can make tons of cash in internet marketing is through Franchising. This is a well known model in offline business but which can even be easier and rewarding in online marketing. Some companies offer as much as 50 percent or even more in commissions to their franchisees and this adequately takes care of initial fees and monthly charges. However, you must exercise caution in choosing the companies or products that you will be associated with so that they accord with your target market or niche.

Again, where you are the one handing out the franchise you still stand to make lot money within a relatively short period and your profits are almost always assured.
