Saving money is like making money.

About 12 years ago, I was introduced to affiliate marketing on the internet. Being an affiliate means that you are essentially a sales person for an online shopping site. These site range from stores like Walmart, Macy’s, Gap, and other retailers, to travel sites, airlines, insurance companies, dating sites, wine stores, and on and on. As an affiliate for one of these sites, you receive a commission for goods and services sold as a result of someone clicking on a link they saw on your website. Once one of your visitors clicks on a link on your site, they are taken to the retailer’s site. At that point, your job as an affiliate is complete. The retailer will take care of the rest of the sale. The affiliate doesn’t get involves in the sales transaction, or the shipping.

So, after many years of research, I have developed a list of sites for which I am an affiliate, that I feel offer good deals on a variety of products and services. The list is as follows:

1. Easy-Forex is a great site to learn about, and trade, foreign currencies.  I have had an account with them for several years, and I am very pleased with their service and support.

2. This is the absolute best VOIP (internet telephone) company.  Best rates, no setup fees.  Add an 800 number for $3 per month!

3. Great prices on all sorts of medications.

4. Pretty good dating site.

5. Cheap car rentals.

6. Cheap hotel rooms.

7. Another place for cheap airfare. This one I have used, and had no problems with it.

8. Great electronics, and computers for cheap! Really good site!

9. This is very cool. They offer a wine club for about $29 per month, and send you 2 wines each month, one red and one white. Very good value.
