    Hi All,

    I am brand new here so sorry if this is abit of a newbie question!

    I wan't to start promoting affiliate programs using the direct linking model to start off with.

    I have been learning about adwords for over 2 years now so I know what I am doing there, the only thing I am stuck on is what products to promote!

    Where are the best places to find good affiliate programs to promote? What do you look for? Anything specific?

    I don't want to get into promoting make money online products as it is hyper competitive and I haven't made a bean yet via this business model.

    Please someone help me so I can get started!!!

    Cheers,

    MiniCopy x

    Hi, how are you ?
    I agree fully of your opinion.They are many or hundreds or thousands affiliate programs for you to join, some are free,some are recurring monthly fees,some are highend programs.

    In order to success,one must know how to advertise...advertise....advertise.
    No such thing as free join ,free advertise to make money online selling digital products.

    Luckily, you have the skill of Google adwords,my program best suite to your taste.I do not have to ask you how effective Google adwords bring targetted real traffic to you or your website.Your 2 years experience is incredible.

    I am optimistic you will have a successful business to build a good team with me .You are exactly the best person to be my team as far as I did research and observed for few days here.

    I am not going to sell you product, ask you to buy a program to a program, not MLM, not cash gifting, not easy money etc.One must use effort to get paid off at the end of the month.

    I am politely,humbly and courteously invite you to join me .All you need to do now is simply click on my 1st siggy-ezwealth solution and you are on the way to a free tour taker to ezwealth solutions video presentation.Nothing can beat by using a video compare to written or mouth talking.

    I hope we can form a good team

    Have a great day
    cheers :)

    I basically find mine through searching and trial and error. There are some that I'm so happy that I found because of the money I generate through them, then there are some that I wish I never found. But that's how it is in this industry. I always think you should first ask around for information about a new affiliate you find, people are always willing to help. I let my readers know all my good and bad experiences with certain affiliates and give a good review on the ones I believe are worthy. The best place to find some are in my blog :), more will be added soon!

    Find a niche you are passionate about, choose a related affiliate, and then you can write a lot of content to drive traffic.

    Since excellent content on a site is very important, you need to first find a niche that you love and that you can write about. Once you do that, then you can sign up at several affiliate marketing sites, take a look at what each has to offer, and then decide which one or two you want to stick with.

    Of course I 'm happy with the two in my sig or I wouldn't be promoting them

    For me, it's always trial and error, but it definitely depends on your niche.

    What kind of work are you wanting to put into this? (Not necessarily how much, just what kind.) Even determining whether you want CPA, CPS, or CPC campaign will narrow down the options considerably.

    You should pick a niche that you enjot writing about and enjoy researching. If you're knowledganble about your topic and establish yourself as an expert you can get great conversions.

    I can't believe that you've got 2 years of Adwords behind you and you're stuck for a niche - no offence dude but the best way to start is by doing what the others have been saying - choose something you like and get some fresh and decent content, do some keyword research and then watch Google "love you" ;-)

    Probably one of the best ways is to use an affiliate programs directory like the one listed in sig or use Google to find them. Once you have found a good few programs what you are interested in and fit your sites topic, then the next best thing to do is to ask about these programs on a forum to see what others think, if anyone has had experience with the programs, etc.

    For good affiliate programs, just be sure to sign up for the major networks like cj.com, shareasale.com and linkshare.com and start promoting things that you have an interest in. You can also check out Google trends, eBay pulse, or the lycos top 50 to see what people are searching for or that might be in demand.

    contact your favorite affiliate manager and ask for the top converting campaigns on the network. That should get you started.

    Finding the perfect program to promote can be a bit monotonous and stressful over time. Many programs are free to promote, which takes away any pressures of succeeding or failing. You typically do not have to worry about wasting your money away.

    The problem many people run into is trying to promote too many programs at once. Just because you can join as many programs as you want does not mean you should. Stick to no more than four or five programs. The reason for this is because it takes a lot of work becoming an expert with each affiliate program and then promoting them extensively.

    In order to have success with your affiliate programs, you have to be willing to work at them and market at least two to three hours each day for them. If people do not know about them, you are going to have a hard time generating any sales.

    If you are looking for a great place to find hundreds of thousands of affiliate programs to join, check out ClickBank. This is the internet's leading retailer of products and programs to promote. You are sure to find a few programs that you can market and make money off of.
