Why Affiliate Marketing?

Today, I am going to introduce you to affiliate marketing. It is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money on the internet. If you want to work from home, affiliate marketing is the way to go. It takes no major investments, no risks; the site you are representing does all the work and takes all the risk.
There are many sites that you can find companies to represent; Clickbank, Commission Junction, PayDotCom and many more. A search on Google will bring up many of these merchants for you to be an affiliate for.
You will need a blog or a website, a squeeze page and an agreement to represent the merchant. A blog is best set up up at WordPress or Blogger. The advantage to WordPress is that it is your site, not Googles. With a blogger account, Google has the right to shut it down at any time where WordPress is an independent site run by you alone. I am moving to WordPress today.
When you are ready to become an affiliate marketer, research is the biggest chore ahead of you. Making sure that there is a market for your product is of the utmost importance. Second, making sure that there are not so many other representatives of the same product that you get lost in the shuffle.
Use your keywords well, research them, research them and research them. Then do the same for your target market. After you are confident that you have a great niche and the market is there, the product is there - GO FOR IT!
I wish you all the best in your endeavor. If you follow the rules, you will be a major success and we will see your name in the list of "guru's".
