How to Start a Successful Affiliate Business
The number of people selling 'get rich quick' schemes has grown dramaticaly in the past few years. The problem is most, and i mean at least 95% of the schemes simply don't work. They sell you a 60 page e-book for around $40 which has no value. The books pretty much all talk about the same thing, make a website, stuff it full of affiliate links then advertise it in various sources.
You many wonder why the same simple steps work for some people but not for you. It is because only a small part of affiliate marketing has to do with making a website. Affiliate marketing is a business, not a get rich quick scheme. If you are serious about making a successful online business you need to put in the effort. Hey, if we could all make money as quick as what some of the websites claim, we would all be millionaires with big houses driving Ferraris.
Affiliate marketing comes in three steps
1. Choose a profitable niche (this is the most important step and will take a lot of background research)
2. Find the right product in that niche
3. Figure out your budget on hosting and advertising fees
4. Last step is create your website and promote it.
There are many pitfalls in each step you need to watch out for. If you are willing to put in the effort most of the information on how to get started can be found on various forums on the net if you just do some digging.
Good luck.
