Dear Peter:

It seems a number of letters fell off your email on its way to me.

Affiliate programmes are basically systems in which you link from your web site to an e-commerce web site. If someone follows that link and makes a purchase, you receive a commission on that purchase. Of course there are a number of restrictions and it is important to check the details of the agreement before becoming an affiliate.

Most bigger, and many smaller business to consumer e-commerce web sites offer affiliate programmes. Just visit your favourite on-line shops and look for an affiliate link. In addition, these two sites offer information on affiliate programmes:

All the best,
