Hi all, I've been trying to research Affiliate Marketing for a while now and I can't decide where to start. Because I'm still so new to the many ways of earning from Affiliate Marketing, I wanted to try something that would not cost much to get started. At first I was considering opening my own GPT site, ptc, paid to sign-up, etc....but as I did research on it I found that there are many other ways to earn via affiliate marketing. For example, I recently came across a site that uses an arcade game script and I believe the site earns money via advertisements, etc... With so much out there, I'm just not sure where to start. I'd like for something that has very low cost to start and won't be too overwhelming for a newbie. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
As a newbie - I HIGHLY suggest getting started with Article Marketing. I'm not sure if you've tried this or even heard of this yet but there's a site you can learn more about it at: www.BumMarketingMethod.com ... The basics of it is to write an Article Related to a Niche Market that you thoroughly research - create articles based on Keywords related to that Niche Market and use a Blog to redirect them to at the end of the article. It's not something I can teach in a reply but there's a thought. Lot's of people use this method to create a living online and I TRULY believe it's a stepping stone for anyone who's interested in Affiliate Marketing and later - PPC campaigns.
