Affiliate marketing is one of the lucrative ways to make money online. But it's not easy. Most of the affiliate programs require you to sell something to get the commission.
The good news is, some affiliate programs allow you to make money for free sign ups. It is called Pay Per Lead Affiliate Programs. You will get the commission for free sign ups.
It's comparatively easy to make money from these affiliate programs. But it's tough to find the Pay Per Lead (PPL) affiliate programs that work. Even if some CPA based Affiliate networks like Peerfly, Maxbounty, etc offer PPL offers, it's hard to get approved by this affiliate networks. To make things easier, I'm going to share some such programs with you.
