What is Affiliate Marketing and How does it Work?
There are thousands of affiliate products out there to promote. Affiliate Marketing is when you take that product and promote it on line. Now for beginners this could be as simple as creating a blog, or Squidoo lens which are both very simple. You then direct your visitors to your link to the affiliate product in your site where they purchase and you get paid.
Now for a newbie, this can be overwhelming as you have to learn how to drive traffic to you site, how to get indexed by Google, and about keywords. There are thousands of ways to promote your site. As a newbie to affiliate marketing, you will be overwhelmed in the beginning. Its a huge learning curve that takes months. The good news is there are programs out there, some of them free, some very low cost that can take weeks or months off of your learning curve.
You also have to decide what you are going to promote, many choose a business in a box, but that's not for everyone. I think if you can find something you are passionate about your success will be much greater. Think about what you love, then Google it with the word affiliate behind it and Ta Da, there are your choices. You can market ebooks, vitamins, electronics, almost anything you can think of there is an affiliate program out there for that product.
The best thing to do is get your site up with you affiliate link, then start the learning. This way you can tweek and apply what you learn as you go, but get started first. Once you get one site up and running, then you can go onto another and then another. I average creating a new site every week now. When I first started it would take me a month to get just one up. So lets say 1 week per site, 4 sites in one month all bringing in income even as you sleep. Rinse and repeat. I use a one week marketing plan and it has got me off the ground.
I started this 5 months ago part time and at first had little success. I got laid off 2 weeks ago so I knew I had to start getting serious. I spent 10 and 12 hours a day on this to get it up and running . I was a newbie and totally lost. Well it paid off, now I make money and in the last 2 weeks I made very close to what I made at my "real job", which by the way wasn't exactly peanuts. The best part is I love it. I have put together a guide that will help with your learning curve if you want to move ahead faster and start bringing in some cash. Its called Affiliate Marketing Made Easy. Start making money faster and take some of that learning curve away.
I hated my day job, my hours were awful and I did not have a life. One day I just Googled "make money from home" and wow the opportunities, a lot of them scams. I lost a lot of money in the beginning. Now 8 months later I am headed for financial freedom. Did it take work, yes it did, is it worth it to be able to have my freedom back oh yes. I want to share this, because in today's economy, times are hard. I also want to let those new to this know that it can work and its fun and don't give up, I almost did, but so glad I didn't.
More of how I used one week marketing to get here is below.

How to Make Money With Squidoo
When I started into this internet affiliate marketing, I was lost. I was also far from computer savy. I was also determined. I researched, went to work at home forums for advice and wasted a lot of money. I finally bit the bullet and invested under $50.00 for the one week marketing plan by pot pie girl. I have since made my money back over and over and over.
The plan lays out step by step instructions on how to create a lens. My first one took me about 5 hours. Now I can create on in less than 2. The guide then tells you how to get your lens indexed, and exactly what to do to drive the traffic to it. I had my first sale in a week. Then I created more lens and a few blogs like this one. Very simple. It is a 7 day action plan that if you do it a few times, like me you can cut that down to less than 2 days. I have 8 lens now and 2 blogs.
The sales increase every week.
From a monetary standpoint let me break it down for you. Lets say 8 lens only average about $60.00 in sales per lens. That is $480.00 per week. Now lets do 8 more, thats $960.00 per week. So when pot pie girl said she was making a 6 figure income, I do believe it is possible. Does it take work? Yes it does. But if you build one lens per week and follow all the steps, they are out there working for you 24/7. In one year you will have 52 lens, you do the math.
Before I found the one week marketing plan I was floundering out there clueless. Because of it, I took action and today I work in my pajama's. Is this my niche? No its not, but I have enough faith in this program that I created this blog to share it with others. If you are stuck and have no plan or are like I was, one week marketing is a great place to start. It is a one time cost and everything else is free.

Testimonial From a Successful Wealthy Affiliate Member
I have been an active member of a work at home forum for some time now. They have been great. I asked keith, a silver member there who has had a lot of success to offer his view on Wealthy Affiliate, so here it is. Thank you Keith.
"If there has been one single factor that has made the biggest difference in my internet marketing career, it has been Wealthy Affiliate. I can honestly say that there is a good chance that I would not be earning money online today had I not signed up. A big thanks to Carson, Kyle, and everyone else at Wealthy Affiliate who pitched in to contribute to my success."

Free Sites and Training to Help You Get Started
There is tons of free training out there. You can get overwhelmed if you try to do too many at one time. You will end up going in circles reading and never taking action. You can lose weeks and months if you don't focus.
I suggest picking one training program and sticking with it. You learn new things from all of them, but if you do more than one at a time, you will get side tracked.
There is the 30 Day Challenge by Ed Dale. It takes you through a 30 day process and teaches one technique per day. Excellent and free.
There is also Travis@bummarketingmethod is a good one too. He is entertaining and also a member of Wealthy Affiliate mentioned in a post below.
Both of these are a starting point. Although I have only scratched the surface in this blog, I will continue to add helful information on a regular basis. Best of luck and don't give up. It can work.

Low Cost Starting Programs
Ok, you have decided to give affiliate marketing a try. In my below posts I have shared a lot of free information as to how you can get started. Also I have posted some free training that will help you learn the ins and outs. The free way does work, it just may taking you longer to get up and running because the learning curve here is so steep.
There are a few programs out there that are very inexpensive and packed full of useful information and take you by the hand and help you start making money. I have not tried and tested them all but there are 3 that I know come highly recommended by thousands. I know these not to be scams and I know they are well worth their price.
1. My Online Income System was created by Kimberely Hoffman. She has taught thousands how to get up and running and start making money quickly. This program is not a scam and is legit and comes highly recommended. You can check out My Online Income System here.
2. Maverick Money Makers has very high reviews as well. I have read many success stories with this on the forums. I personally have not reviewed this one, but trust my sources. Check out Maverick Money Makers here.
3. Wealthy Affiliate. I have heard so much good about this program. I have never heard or read on any of the forums anything bad about this. I think it is a proven step by step 8 week guide to make money. I have not joined this yes, but it is next on my list. It has a monthly fee that more than pays for itself. http://www.wealthyaffiliate.com/
How I Finally Put it all Together and Earned $387.00 in 7 days
I started affiliate marketing 4 months ago. I went into information overload, although I learned a lot. I tried a lot of things and learned a lot of things for free and I have mentioned a lot of these in the following posts. It was hard to stick to because I worked full time and I had so many resources I was following. I managed to get a blog up and the first 3 months I did not make a dime. Layoffs were happening at my place of employment and I knew I had to get serious and find a plan and stick to it.
I researched a lot and decided on Pot Pie Girl' One Week Marketing Plan. I did not have 30 days or 8 weeks to start making money. It is a step by step easy to follow guide that will have your site up and running and generating traffic very quickly. This program got me off the ground and taught me the basics and I did make money the first week. My sites are now up and being crawled by google and week 3 I checked my clickbank and other affiliate accounts and had $387.00 and this happened in three days. I highly recommend it if you want to get off the ground and start earning cash quickly.
The great thing about her program is you can use it over and over and generate multiple streams of income. She is very successful at affiliate marketing and she shares her knowledge and helps others. She also replies to any emails that you may send her personally. The support she offers speaks volumes. When you join her program you continually get free tips in your email almost daily to help you improve your skills and knowledge. Hands down, this is my favorite. And by the way, I did get laid off, but thanks to this guide, I don't think I will be going back to work.
Here is the total on my clickbank account for the last 7 days:
