This type of affiliate marketing is one of the growing and very lucrative online businesses opportunities in the world. Digital marketers can use affiliate marketing to make money online by promoting various digital services including domain registering services from any of these programs. Once you have been accepted as an affiliate, you’ll be able to use banners with your unique tracking links and start earning commissions.

Domain affiliate programs offer commission rates that range from 10% and up to 15% with some programs but only pay you commissions with the first purchase. There are other programs that just pay affiliates a fixed sum that varies between $1, $5 and $10 per registration and depending on the type of domain and only once.
