I have basically found there are 2 different types of affiliate marketing programs out there. 3 If you count multi level marketing, but I do not have the experience with that one, so I will focus on the other 2.
1. This is when you google affiliate marketing and all those opportunities pop up. These are mostly just a business in a box. You purchase the program and promote it. You are just convincing others to purchase the same program and promote it and you get paid. There is usually a start up cost that is often a monthly fee. Although these have been known to work, and many offer you lots of information on how to market on the Internet, the competition is sometimes great and in my opinion is not something you can really get passionate about.
2. Find an affiliate product that you are passionate about and have some knowledge about and promote that. Lets say you want to promote a weight loss product. Go to clickbank.com sign up for a free account and there you go, hundreds of products to choose from. Pick one, and get to work. Clickbank usually pays 50% or more for every sale you make. Remember this too, the Internet is up 24/7 and covers the entire world.
There are many other places to go to search for affiliate products to promote, there is paydot.com, commision junction, payloadz and many more. Lets say you can't find a product that floats your boat on any of these sites, there is an alternative. You can type in almost anything in google and put affiliate behind it and you would be amazed how many programs are out there that use us affliates like little soldiers to drive their business. You can promote electronics, traveling, just about anything, so be creative when making your choice and the more passionate about the industry you choose, the more success you wil have.
