Linshare is a similar company as PayDotCom or Click Bank. But the major difference is that, Linkshare also provides you a method to earn the income without the sales commission. It mainly provides the leads based income to the bloggers.
What is a Lead?
A lead means a visitor has not to purchase the product as in Click bank or Commission Junction, but only if he or she signs up or avail a free trail for a company that you are promoting, then you get the lead money for that. This is because, you make a potential reach of the customer.
Some companies will pay you as little as $1.00, and some up to $10.00 and NOTHING HAS TO BE PURCHASED. This is nice because people like to get free information or free trials. Now let's take a look at the possibilities of this.
Another great example of how you could update your posts in your blogs is with a company like Netflix. You would type your original blog article explaining all about how Netflix works. You would then place your affiliate promotion link on that post, so if the visitor goes to Netflix Web site through your post and signs up for a FREE account, you get paid $9.00. They will not even need to purchase anything.
How Much Can You Earn With Linkshare?
If your blog reaches 1,000 people per day, and you are offering FREE products/service/trials etc. through your promotion links, and you only get 10% of the people to take advantage of the free information, or trial, you would make $100 to $200 per day, based on the minimum $1 pay. Remember that the $1 is the minimum as some companies will pay you up to $10 to give away something for free. Also conversions of giving free things away can be much higher than 10%; finally, very popular blogs can get much more than 1000 readers per day. If you do the math, you will see you can make a fortune giving away free stuff on the Internet through your blogs.
