So What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Basically explained that is when you start promoting someones products and when he gets a sale trough the link he gives you, you get commissions. This can vary from 4-5$ to thousands of $. It can be anything from 1% to 90% (or even more)of the total price of the product depending on your agreement. Usually you get less commissions when you promote physical products (cars, motorcycles and everything you can think of) and a lot of commissions from digital stuff (e-books,software’s even pics) . The reason for this is that once you create a e-book for example you won’t have to write it again and again to sell it to many people. With physical products its not like that. They need to be created again and again so they can be sold and they require additional materials that’s why they have low commissions. In my opinion better opportunity is promoting Digital stuff. (Guess Why?)
Affiliate programs :
Commission Junction – This in one the biggest affiliate programs out there. Pays on sale. Sells digital products.
Clickbank – one of the most popular affiliate programs. Sells digital products (Mostly software and E-books).
E-bay affiliate- I am sure that you have heard of e-bay. If you want to promote physical product then they are one of the best.
Paydotcom – Very similar to clickbank.
Amazon – they sell literally everything. Not the best place for a beginner ( Though I am not sure,never used them)
TIP: If you think that you have found a good product to promote while searching on the internet, but you can’t find how you can contact the admin so you can apply for an affiliate usually at the bottom of the sales page there is a section called Affiliates (if the author allows it). That’s where you can get info how to promote that product.
Which ones from these do you use?
I did use only Clicbank before. Though I recently signed up for PayDotCom (I saw that they pay trough paypal) and I am waiting for E-bay approval.
Which one do you think is the best for a newbie?
I suggest you to go for Clickbank. They are literally the best option for you. Also here I will be giving some free info how to generate a lot of sales with ClickBank but they can work for PayDotCom users as well.
How can I make money from them?
There are really a lot of ways. In my blog I will be mainly covering methods for clickbank users but I know some tricks for the other Affiliate Programs as well.
PPC.
Bum Marketing.
Blogging.
there are more ways but I can’t think of them right now,lol. Anyways you can be sure that I will explain all there three methods in the feature.(with details)

Good thoughts,
rather general and generic though.
I would caution “Newbies” to be very careful how you approach PPC
(Pay Per Click) advertising. It can be a very good way of not only advertising but of testing and tracking. However I liken it to a loaded gun. It can be very effective if aimed in the right direction. However it’s also just as easy to shoot yourself in the foot!
I believe that organic SEO especially through social media is a very good way to get started, learn a lot and is very cheap. As in FREE
The new guy usually has way more time than money, so why not spend the thing you have the most of. Time and effort. It will pay off I promise.

yea you are right, for beginners its not good to start with PPC, though I will be explaining it in a big article (already ready but I’m checking for mistakes and stuff) which will really help them to understand that form of marketing.
Yea you are right social media is a really good method. I always suggest newbies to start with free methods – and yea…reading is the key to succes if somebody hopes to make money online without reading then he won’t make anything else than losing his money/time.
