Make money as an Affiliate Marketer

You are at the stage where you realise you can make money on the internet, you've read the course explaining the main, best ways to do this (sign up for it here if you don't have it yet), and you've decided to give Affiliate Marketing your best shot!

Where can you find products to make commission from?  There are quite a few sites that can cater to your need.  Shop around as some promote different types of product (e.g. 'only digital download', or 'any type of sale').  One of the largest you can consider is CLICKBANK, but there is no limit to how many sites you an become an affiliate through.

The best advice as you are looking through the products is to consider the following points:

• Do you like the product? 
• Would you be interested in it?
• Would you be happy to promote it?
• Are you happy with the statistics for the product? (see note at the end)
• Do you know anything about the product/understand it?
• Is the vendor offering any useful 'information' to help you promote it?

I'll leave it to you to give a scale of some sort to how you answer these questions.  It could be that you are really knowledgeable about one area a product covers, even though you personally don't like it - as long as you know there is a large market for it then you could be happy with that.  Or perhaps it's a new product and so there aren't any stats, it's up to you decide if it's likely to be a winner or not?  You'll pick up on all these things as you go along.  For now start looking for sites offering affiliation and browse through products on offer. Everyone needs to start somewhere.

Note: The Clickbank site has a very easy to follow definition of the information provided in the statistics - don't believe anyone telling you to download  their definition - for a fee!
