LinkShare Affiliate Program

Joining LinkShare and becoming an affiliate with hundreds of retailers is extremely easy, and painless, especially with the all new LinkShare Publisher Dashboard.

Finding new affiliates and creating banners and product links is simple, and everything is organized nicely for easy access and headache-free work. Reading affiliate reports is easy and the reports are comprehensive and detailed.

LinkShare works wonderfully when combined with Squidoo, I've begun to notice. Last month, I earned over $160.00 just with LinkShare and Squidoo, directly and indirectly. Directly meaning through sales on the lenses themselves and indirectly, meaning through sites that I have promoted with Squidoo.

$160.00 might not seem like very much to most people, but for pretty much my first real month of promoting LinkShare with Squidoo, I think it's pretty darn good. And, this month is looking even better. My earnings just keep on increasing!

There are so many ways to earn money online, and for me, LinkShare is working out nicely. I'm well on my way to doing this full time, and my goal for the summer is to reach $1,000 per month just from LinkShare and Squidoo. Not too bad I don't think, at least for an 18 year old college student!

Payments from LinkShare are pretty standard. By default, you get paid by paper check, which takes about a week to arrive at addresses in the United States. Fortunately, once you've received one check, you can set up bank direct deposit.

Payments are sent monthly, somewhere around the 15th. What's nice about LinkShare is the payment threshold is only $1.00, so you can get paid every month if you want to, and you don't have to wait for it to accumulate like other affiliate networks.
