How much money should I expect to make? 

The financial industry is huge, and everyone needs its services. Mortgage affiliate programs provide a valuable service and many affiliates do well in this industry. Some small affiliates with limited traffic earn $500 a month. Some high traffic websites are earning upwards of $8 000 a month. Like any other industry, the amount you earn is dependant on the effort you put in. If you don't promote mortgages than the income potential is significantly less.

Why do they use affiliates?

The financial industry is very competitive, not so much amongst affiliates but between different financial brokers. The mortgage industry earn billions of dollars in profit every year. The internet is a new medium for them and they are starting to discover that paying affiliates on a per lead basis is one of the most cost effective marketing strategies.

Are these programs free to join? 

All of the programs listed on this website are free. We never recommend you join an affiliate program if they charge a set-up fee. Programs should be in the business of making money from your sales, not from recruiting you.

How often am I paid? 

This will depend on the program. Most financial programs pay on a monthly basis. Occasionally you'll get paid on a quarterly basis. You should review the terms of the affiliate program prior to signing up. 

Are taxes removed from my commissions?

Very rarely. You're an independent contractor therefore it's your duty to report any and all earnings. We cannot provide advise on this. You should seek information from an accountant or tax professional in your jurisdiction.

Do I have to be from the USA?

No, you can sign up for any of these programs from anywhere around the world. Please take into consideration that these financial offers are currently only available to the USA, and this is not likely to change in the near future.

Do I need to be incorporated? Do I need any other type of business license?

No you don't. You can have the payments made out to your personal name.
