I find myself browsing the affiliate networks I belong to daily, if not multiple times a day. It seems if you're a new guy and not really pulling much (if any!@$@) sales for them your affiliate managers don't give you the time of day. I guess they don't get paid for that really but anyway, other than that I spend a lot of time researching keywords and random products I find that want to be promoted/marketed in the manner I can provide. What do you do?
start with 1 field offers like email submits if your a newbie. They are easy to convert and a good way to learn the game.
