Affiliate Marketing

One of the amazing pros to affiliate marketing is the fact that you can be successful with little to no start up money. Although technically a website isn't required but it does give you more outlets in which to promote products. With the recent flood of free blog designs and website template available for download on the web, HTML know-how isn't at important is in the past. Even a complete novice can have a fully functional website up and running within the day.

Web Hosts & Alternatives to Web Sites

When finding a host for your website should you choose to go that route. Make sure they are a high quality service provider. Some of the cheaper and or free web hosts have too much downtime and don't offer nearly as many of the perks as the big boys. I mentioned before that a website was not necessary. You can also opt to write online articles on sites such as Ehow, Squidoo, or Ezine. But keep in mind many online article databases don't allow affiliate links within articles.

Affiliate Marketing Programs

Looking for a first affiliate marketing programs

can be overwhelming considering there are a million and one different programs you can subscribe to. If you happen to run into an program that charges a fee i suggest you move on. The most reputable and successful affiliate programs I have come across have all been free! Other things you may want to take note of is what promotion material the affiliate programs offers. Some of the best programs for starts offer free content, articles, banners, and even keywords for ppc campaigns. A few even offer customizable landing page templates. So do your homework and find a provider that suits your affiliate marketing experience.
