Another way to make money from home and online is through affiliate programs.  Max Bounty is one such program.  Basically, if you do not have a product of your own to sell, you can sign up with a company such as this that sells other people's products.  You then make a commission from every product you sell or lead you generate for the client(s).  There are hundreds of offers and companies to choose from! If you saw ads on the Untrodden Road site, some of them are affiliate ads meaning I only got paid for the advertising when someone either signed up or purchased from the client. 

You don't have to have a website to promote products.  You can also blog about them or post about them on message boards relating to the product.  You can even email great offers to friends who you know would be interested! 

Best of all, with Max Bounty, many of the offers allow you to offer incentives.  That means you can do what the GPT Sites do.  You can share your profit with the person making the purchase or completing the offer.  So say a company is going to pay you $5 for every lead they get, which means for every person who submits their email addres to them for more information, you can then offer to your readers or friends that you will pay them, say $2.50, once they complete the offer and you receive the $5.  Next thing you know, you could have your own GPT Site!!

Just make sure to read all the terms and conditions on each offer as some allow you to offer incentives and others do not!!

If there is an interest I will post links to  more great companies like Max Bounty in the future!
