    How to Succeed in Affiliate Marketing

    1. Choose a Niche Market

    Before you begin, it is important to choose a niche market of products, services, and information that you will provide. Do not try to be everything to everyone. Instead, choose a topic area and focus your attention on becoming the top consumer resource for information for your niche.

    2. Choose the Best Affiliate Programs

    Do not simply sign up for the first affiliate programs to catch your eye. Spend some time researching the available affiliate programs. Create a list of affiliate programs that offer products relevant to your website. List the pros and cons associated with each, including commission rate, payment guidelines, and linking options. It may take some time to find the best affiliate program for you, but this extra work will pay off in the long run in better site traffic and increased sales.

    3. Create Great Content

    Becoming a consumer resource is one of the best ways to succeed in affiliate marketing. How can you establish a credible and useful website? By creating content that your readers want and need, you will establish an audience that is interested in what you have to say and what your have to sell. Some great ideas for affiliate content include product reviews, gift guides and other consumer advice.

    4. Track Your Progress

    Once you have established your affiliate marketing site, it is absolutely vital to keep track of your sales success. Some affiliate programs offer detailed reports of site traffic and sales, which can be especially beneficial. Always keep track of which items are selling and which are not. By using this information to plan future content, marketing tactics, and product choices, you will be able to build an affiliate marketing site that will be successful for years to come.

    When focusing on more than one item, you tend to loose track of how to effectively promote that product.

    Then when you realise that the product aren't selling its fustrates you a bit and that makes you want to take a 2-3 day break.

    I'm still struggling with EA to get these articles live, hopefully i'm almost there.

    Focusing on different products actually helps me. At any single day - 7 different products can convert for me.

    And....What if I focus on one horrible niche and write 100 articles for it? Yeah - I'd quit.
