Advices needed: Where and How should I start?

A quick intro here:

I been doing a little bit of SEO for the last 3-4 years, and I think i am quite decent in it, and has a good strategy when it comes to my own link building. I have a small network of sites, mainly informative sites and generate some decent money via contextual advertising ( most my sites dealt with very local market needs ).

Right now, I kind of decided to branch in a bit of Affiliate Marketing. I don't really have the needed experience in this field and hope to be able to learn more from this sub forum ( hah, 1st time in this SUB FORUM ever since i joined!! ).

I plan to start my 1st Affiliate marketing site for a disease ~ health related.

Traffic wise: I plan to do it via PPC, SEO, and link building from related sites.

So right now is where do i start looking for my products, and how to do so etc. And what are the pitfalls to look out for when i step into this unknown world of Affiliate Marketing?

Thanks for reading my lengthy post. lol

 

You could try looking for some merchants / affiliate programs from affiliate program directories. Once you find some that suit your needs, then you may want to also get a heads up from others by asking about the programs in this forums before actually applying to them.

Personally as you are doing PPC, then not all affiliate programs will give you a profit until you test a few you should find one that will hopefully work for you and generate you a profit. Now instead of wasting the money from the programs that didn't quite work out for you as you also would have not reached their minimum payout level, why don't you try using affiliate networks as if one merchant doesn't work for you, then you can always try another and don't have to worry about not reaching the minimum payout for your first merchant as the network consolidates all your earnings into one large check.

Good luck anyway and hope it all works for you.
