I have joined Paydotcom.com, Click2Sell, ClickBank and some others. What do I do now? I understand that I have to drive traffic to a website of some type but I am totally lost in regards to using these avenues to generate capital. I REALLY need some direction.
Promote those affiliate programs onto your website and then get as much traffic as you can. Use this link: http://nbridges.com/seo_tips.
You have gone the wrong way! First you must learn how to generate traffic and then how to monitize it. Affiliate marketting is very competitive area and there is no short cut. This is not an area where a newbie can sign up and make money over night. Spend time to study websites, how they get traffic etc. Then do something creative, generate a steady traffic over a period and finally think about ways to monititze it. Buying traffic and sending them to your affiliated sites is risky, most likely you will end up loosing money.
Join MoreNiche and read some guides there, they can really give you some directions and help you start.
First of all, I doubt you have a site. If you are a newbie, you should learn how to write, blog and generate traffic for your site. To set up a site free of charge, you can visit Blogger, Hubpages, Squidoo and Synthasite. Put up contents that are relevant to the products or services that you would like to promote and once in a while, write up a review of the product. Read up more on search engine optimization and link building. If you need any assistance, I am willing to provide it free of charge. Just shoot me a PM.
alemcherry is right on the money - it takes a while. Be patient and use the internet like you're possessed!! However, some of the traffic sellers on DP are terrific!!

This is what I learned after I've did several business. Learn it before you do it! ***** http://www.worldinternetacademyprogram.com
alemcherry isn't necessarily wrong, but starting an affiliate site(s) is so cheap these days you can probably learn as you go (that's what I am doing). But anybody that responds in a post like this telling you all you have to do is sign up for this service or that services... run... run far and run fast. There are no shortcuts if you want to do this long term. Good luck dude.
You have A LOT to learn, it's not as easy as just signing up and making money. There are alot of free methods to drive traffic to your site, do a quick search on google and then start to apply them.
