How do I get started with affiliate marketing? I want to make money online and I have 2 websites already... I want to learn how to be an affilate. Does anyone have a step by step directions that I can follow?
There are a lot of Affiliate Marketing training programs out there that will give you what you need. It depends on your budget partly and also whether you are good with following directions from reading and watching videos, or whether you need a mentor. I started out with an older version of an Affiliate Marketing program that I currently promote on my webincometutor website. It's relatively inexpensive and they've been online doing this for around 10 years. The program is now online and downloadable only (the one I bought was hard copy.. over 800 pages with DVD's) included. It's been upgraded and revised every year since inception.. and I absolutely guarantee that if you follow what they tell you to do you WILL make money. They guarantee it as well.
I would suggest that you join this affiliate program which I have joined, its an online pharmacy which give commission of 20% per order. They provide you with all the datafeed and links required. Since you already have a website you can try doing affiliate marketing for this program. Let me know if you are interested.
just go ahead and try it in clickbank or CJ. i am also trying to learn by trial and error, if things turn out not good for a month, then try another product that you think your visitors might want to buy.
The best idea is to start promoting something you know about, make and push a site that you know what your talking about. It will make your site better and you will probably enjoy working on it more. Once you know the subject it will be easy to find the best affiliate programs relevant to your site.
there are lots of ways to earn miney from affiliate programs, for some you need websites, other doesnt required them, you can use email marketing, twitter, facebook and much more ways. it`s all depends on what you think you will be good at. for example if you like to write articles and etc. start with little steps on your 2 websites and than grow big from there.
