The same concept applies to making money off gaming geeks. Impulse, Stardock’s own content delivery system and competitor to Steam, has its own affiliate program that promises significant earnings for those who work hard enough.

ImpulseDriven.com’s affiliate program is ideal for bloggers and internet-based businesses that are looking for a way to earn some extra revenue from their sites. By offering your visitors a link to download Impulse, every purchase made by them will generate a 15% net sale commission for yourself.

In short, you sign up for their program and get “affiliate” links. Like this:

The name of the game is to get people to click on your Impulse link and download the Impulse client. For every game they buy through Impulse, you get paid!

Now if only Steam, admittedly a more popular service (with a larger number of customers), opens an affiliate program (apparently, none is available as of this writing).
