There are two main areas where people have difficulty when they start on affiliate marketing: finding good affiliate programs and promoting products.

Finding good affiliate programs

This is an area where there are so many options that is difficult to evaluate what is good or bad. If you are just starting in this business, my advice is that you should concentrate just on programs that are well established, so you can have a good experience from the start.

Of course, as you gain experience, it is important to add other sources of income, since this is what will make or break your business.

A great program to start is Clickbank. The biggest advantage of Clickbank is that they provide all the tools a lot of quality products that you can sell with relative easy.

You can start by visiting the most popular products in their web page and selecting the category that you feel most confortable with. For example, they have categories for business, recreation, learning, and many others that you may have interest in promoting. Take a look at Clickbank website and see for yourself.

How to promote products

Once you have selected a product, the next issue is how to effectively promote your products. There are several way to do this. For example, you can use paid search advertisement, you can write articles, or use tools such as twitter and blogs to advertise.

The important thing in this area is to learn what is out there and use effectively. The biggest mistake of beginners is not looking for the right information. I will suggest some of the online courses that are more helpful and give the details in each area. Note that I spend thousands of dollars to get this information first hand, and I think you should invest at least in some of this information if you want to become knowledgeable.

Conclusion
Making money as an affiliate is not only possible, it is easy if you know what to do. I advise people to start with tested-and-true techniques. Also, get updated information, as I mention in the links above. This is an evolving area, with many opportunities to everyone.
