    Learn how to match a hungry market to a product that solves their problems. If you don't get that step right, all of the internet marketing techniques in the world won't make a difference.

    The first step will be just to try taking part in one of the programs... Before that it would be also good to choose which area of affiliate marketing you want to choose, but that could be done also after you've tried your first one. I'd advise you to start affiliate marketing with file-sharing services. it brings a good income)

    The first step in affiliate marketing is to select the product which you will be promoting. I think it is the most important step for starting.

    1st step is to research products and find one worth promoting, 2nd step is to do kw research to help chose a domain name, step 3 is to write or buy articles that are related to the product, step 4 is making a video about the product that leads to your aff link on youtube, step 5 is to either do manual article directory link building, (or outsource seo). Also I recommend experimenting with pcc, if you buy a godaddy hosting package you get $100 google adwords voucher.

    Hope this helps and good luck

    First step would be to see if you can identify the best market for you, which is a combination of a market
    with a lot of products being sold, with customers buying a lot, preferrably with strong pains/desires, and
    one where you can see your strengths could match with it.

    First, there is a lot of great advice here - take notes! :) Then:
    Choose a profitable niche by researching what is selling in Amazon or other sources
    Create your site and add the links
    Backlink with web 2.0 properties (free blogs), articles, blog commenting, forum posting and what ever else you can think of
    Do some backlinking every day until you reach your goal.

    Good luck!

    I agree with much of the advice up there. My approach would be:
    1. Find a profitable niche that interests you - ideally one with products that have good commission and ideally recurring income (e.g. membership sites, coaching courses etc.)
    2. Create or acquire a 'compelling offer' to get people onto your list - e.g. ebook, video course etc. - market this on a well designed Squeeze Page, ideally using something like Optimize Press (Wordpress theme) to optimise conversion - pay attention to your 'copy' - headline, advertising blurb
    3. Build your list by establishing yourself in your niche via blog posts, forum posting, facebook etc. - providing links to your Squeeze page - use a good autoresponder such as Aweber and keep your list sweet with continued goodies via email (e.g. mini e-courses, informational content, videos etc.)
    4. Market your product/s to your list (who are now more likely to buy from your because they've grown to know and trust you!)

    All the best with your endeavours!

    Read read read. I see a lot of great ideas being mentioned in other responses. I would add learn how to sale. The worst product could possibly out sale a better product simply based on packaging and wording.

    Research any product you may wish to sell, the targets you will sell to, the niche and your competitors before you sell.

    The first logical step I would do is find a product you can promote, and like, so you will be best able to defend it

    I disagree with this a little bit. I think it would be more accurate to say learn how to find a hungry market that will buy something to solve their problem. If there are no products to promote you can always create one yourself.

    The first step is to research and find a micro-niche that you like. Then buy a domain (primarykeyword.com/.net/.info), post quality content and promote it.

    The first logical step is to take time doing research. It is very important to research for good keywords and the best one for your niche. May i remind you not to rush on launching an online business. It is rare to find a successful without a game plan. Hence, set your goals. Research on how the method works and start on scratching your way to the launching! Best of luck!

    Choose something you are interested in or have experience with or both.

    It shouldn't be all about the money, give something to people and you will get something back.

    If you can offer something helpful to people you affiliate marketing can become a lot easier.

    Hey there...

    1) search a niche => what people need?

    2) create a blog on that niche with powerful content

    3) create traffic for your blog => get good conversions ($$$)

    It's the best way...
