It's free to sign up for both, and you can choose from a wide variety of products to recommend on your website. If your links get clicked and result in sales, you earn commissions.

3. Get a donate button on your website.If you are offering valuable info that you update frequently or a useful program for a free download, people might be inclined to donate some money to support your efforts. You can set up a donate button through PayPal very easily.
