After months of browsing this forum ( mainly the general marketing and off topic chat area ) I have made up my mind that I would like to get started in AM. I would like to know the cost and the things I would need to get started in AM and also the skills I would need to have. Thanks!
if you are going to start off with a simple wordpress blog for example, you will find that the majority of your costs are spent with your own sweat, hence the term sweat equity. so a domain and simple hosting solution are all you need top get started if you go the blog route. our Flavorbean promo is a great catch-all ad that pays for life too. our support staff can evaluate your pages and efforts with you to assist with your growth as well.
I wouldnt suggest spending anymoney on more than a domain name and a server. If the affiliate asks you to pay them to promote them I would turn away and run. Check out CJ and start with them. If you do it right you can make a good income..
Take a look at past post on the affiliate marketing part of the forum. You'll learn a lot I would also suggest signing up with MoreNiche. The signup is free. Then click on their Guides and Tools link in the left sidebar. Wealth of information there
MoreNiche definitely has a lot of stuff to help get you started, free ebooks, website templates, articles, landing pages, that you can use an plug your own affiliate link into. Find something you're happy to promote, buy a related type domain and get started. Good luck.
My suggestion to you would be to sign up for Market Leverage. Once you sign up and you are approved I will be glad to assist you in getting started. Please use the link in my signature to apply.

Brining trafic to your website is the key. It if you could make it stonger in the days to come, you will definetly see returns. CJ, Shareasale, Amazon and Click bank are some places where you can start.
