Affiliate Marketing 101

An affiliate is someone who promotes/sell's a product for a company and receives a commission for it.

It seem's like everyone get's a little freaked out with how people explain how to promote the products.Im going to try and make it easier for you.

Where To Start


  • The first thing you need to do is find a affiliate program/network.
  • You can find a good one on affiliate network directories
  • You can find some good affiliate programs here

Where To Promote

If your a blogger/writer
  • Create a blog/niche blog.Base it on the topic,or around the topic. Example: topic:recipes,around the topic:food,recipes,family etc.
  • You can create a blog at Blogger,Wordpress And Tumblr.
  • Write articles about the product you are promoting,you can use it on Hubpages and Squidoo.
If you lack writing skills

  • Promote on traffic exchange sites, you view a site and earn a credit, so then your site can be seen.
  • Promote on safelist sites,its like sending thousands of emails to the member's.

Staying Organized

  • Bookmark all of your sites, keep them in a "Affiliate" type folder name
  • Make a spreadsheet to input all of your affiliate information (Program name, commission type,referral link)
  • Try using Google Chrome, I have had such better results since I started using it.It offer's so much more then firefox or explorer.
  • Keep a notebook with your information in it, and so you can jot down random info you need later.

  • Make a special new user for your computer,name it "Work" or "Affiliate Marketing".
