Shareasale is an affiliate marketing company that can offer solutions to those looking to either promote their products or promote others. Shareasale is an affiliate marketing network based in Chicago, Ill. Shareasale services two customer sets in affiliate marketing: the affiliate and the merchant.

Affiliates use Shareasale to find products to promote, and earn commission for referrals on those products. Affiliates use their own website, blogs, PPC campaigns, SEO campaigns, RSS and email, as well as a number of other means. You decide which merchants to promote and how to promote them.

As a Merchant - you decide the commission structure to pay and only pay when results come in. Affiliate programs offer the opportunity for others to sell your products from their web sites in return for a commission on sales. This provides an incredible sales opportunity for you to develop and expand your own effective sales force, with each affiliate pitching your products to specific audiences and providing limitless exposure. With a large base of affiliates, you increase your sales force and can significantly increase your sales revenue. And unlike other forms of advertising, your affiliate only gets paid when they generate a sale.
