Hi Kell – welcome to the world of affiliate marketing!
I spent many years doing affiliate marketing poorly so I’ll share some of my experiences.
(1.) Be sure you have a PROFESSIONAL looking website. I have a website sitting at http://www.xspirulina.com that I paid someone in Serbia $50 to do. The purpose of the site was to see if the product would sell and at what price. Well, about 50% of the people who got to the first page left. Why? I don’t know for sure but my guess is because it looks like I paid $50 for it.
(2.) Do some research on SEO or pay someone to do it. This is worth GOLD. If no one can find your site then you’re not going to sell any items.
(3.) Have a good understanding of Adwords before diving in. I spent a fortune on Adwords when I first started without much to show for it. Why? Because I had a rosey outlook for things like conversion rates.
(4.) Know that very few people make a fortune at this. If you work hard and long — 5 or 6 hours a week for a full year — you’ll start to see returns. I’m an affiliate with Overstock.com and my website http://www.eHalfOff.com (or the redesign I’m working on at http://www.eHalfOff.com/online-shopping) makes about $0.04 per visitor I bring to my site. I hope to double or triple that with my redesign.
(5.) Know how people are finding you. It took me the better part of a year to achieve a high ranking for the phrase: discount shopping for eHalfOff.com. Most of my customers find me using this phrase. However, in the past 90 days, customers have found my site using over 500 different keywords and phrases. I use this data to help me determine which words and phrases to target next. You never know when you’ll stumble across a word or phrase that works well.
Good luck to you!

Hi there,
I find it interesting to post such a question on something as public as Yahoo Answers: I wonder how many people will post dozens of affiliate links to GRQ programs etc!
Personally, my experience of affiliate marketing is making a little income through Amazon Associates (laptops and books) and a Wholesale Directory. In every case, the pages with the links on weren’t especially promoting the product in question. You could call this ‘passive affiliate marketing’. I did have a lot of traffic though until I sold up.
My current website, I’m focusing a bit more on active promotion where I feature and talk about the product in question. That way, I can shift higher-ticket items – some of my favourite affiliate programs I’ve featured here: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/free-to-join-affiliate-programs.html
I know you’re not going to like the paid material, but Affilorama offers a free level of membership which is quite good. They do promote their premium level of membership ($67 monthly!) and try and entice you in with one-time offers etc. but have a look at the free program. http://www.affilorama.com/
I’ve also got rights to distribute this eBook: http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/support-files/affiliate-masters-course.pdf – It’s 152 pages long, and it helped me focus on the affiliate marketing strategy for my current site.

Just starting out in Affiliate Marketing, can anyone give some beginners advice (not just links?
I have opened an account with ClickBank and I have downloaded the Affiliate Masters Course e-book as well as the SiteSell e-book. I am just looking for some helpful advice on how to get started and some tips on how to be successful with it.
I am not looking for any links on affiliate marketing–I’ve seen just about all of them. But if you have your own website or blog as an affiliate marketer, I would love to take a look at it to see first hand what it looks like.
I know that to be successful with this you have to put in a lot of time–this I have, I do not work or go to school, and I really want to be successful with this.
If anyone considers themself a mentor in this field, I would really appreciate your help!!!! Thanks.

What’s the step-by-step process for making money online with Affiliate Marketing like ClickBank?
Having been exploring the internet marketing field for the last 10 years, I am still very frustrated not knowing how exactly to make money online with Affiliate Programs like ClickBank or Commission Junction that’s Affiliate Marketing.
Please, reply to me only in case you are already making tons of money as a Super Affiliate.
In addition, please do regard me as an absolute beginner to Affiliate Marketing as I have never ever made any money with Affiliate Marketing at all.
Obviously, the main reason I am interested in the Affiliate Marketing field is the fact that I still do not have my own products or services to sell.
What I have realized is that there is a huge amount of scepticism among many potential Affiliates (including myself) when it comes to the important question whether or how I as an ambitious Affiliate can trust the Merchant or how I can be assured that the Merchant will morally and honestly be paying to me (or into my PayPal account) every time I refer them to a customer who then buys the Merchant’s product from my Affiliate link.
Subsequently, my main questions are:
How to research into, find and then select a legitimate Affiliate Program?
How to make sure that the Mechant will really link my PayPal account correctly and properly, so that I know he or she is a genuine and professional person who won’t be cheating or stealing away my hardly earned commissions?
How and where can I create a simple web page (landing page or squueze page) with my affiliate link? Please, once again regard me as an absolute beginner and tell me the step by step process of how to set up or create my Affiliate web page as I really do not know how to.
How to ensure the necessary traffic of potential buyers to my Affiliate web site so that I really start seeing some concrete results that’s making money online? If it’s Pay Per Click that is a solution, please guide me step by step on how to create successful money making Google Adwords campaigns. Or, do you suggest anything better than PPC?
Once again, I am only interested to learn from experienced money making Affiliates and Super Affiliates who have been making lots of money from the Affiliate Programs that they have joined.
Please, do not try to sell me here any cheap ebooks or similar downloadable information products with hyped and long sales copies, because I won’t be wasting my money on these any longer.
If you’re a genuine and successful Affiliate Marketer, please feel free to reach me on my Skype: bruno.bb100
In advance many thanks for your kind help and advices.
Best wishes for the New Year!!

How to do affiliate marketing for really unfamilliar beginners.?
Hello everyone! I am a 19 year old female interested in affiliate marketing. Now, I am completely new to this and don’t know much about it at all and I do not have a website or a blog. I have so much spare time on my hands so I figured why not use it to make extra income from the internet! I was thinking of using Ebay to sell affiliate products but not sure if this is allowed. I really don’t know where to start or what I need to have in order to get started, but I do know there are a few scams out there. I was hoping any affiliate marketers or anyone with experience could help me out. Thanks guys!
