Dear all,

Yes, affiliate programs work, and they're best for beginners to learn and make a little extra money before they venture into bigger businesses

I'm an affiliate myself who now intends to make it bigger and start my own business instead of just selling other people's products or services.

Tips, find an affiliate program dealing with somehting you know a lot about, so it's eaier for you to talk about it, and promote it, if you're thinking of an easy way out and use templates given and then expect to make millions... wake up,

Another tip, join as many programs as you possibly can, make sure they're all dealing with something you love to talk about, and little by little, hopefully you'll profit from all your programs, that way, you can have a bigger check in total, work smart, and work hard too!

hi, i think affiliate marketing really works.A new-bie can gain sucess with proper effort and techniques.

But, only skill- sets are not sufficient to get sucess.

A new-bie has to start his affiliate journey with a considerable amount of money in his wallet.

He should be mentally prepared to not get any profit for his first time venture.

He should have got an attitude of a serious learner during the first phase of his affilaite journey.

Thnax,
Sourabh.

Hi guys,

Yes, affiliate marketing really works. There are a lot of real success stories, with people making 1000's of dollars every day from it.
But the best part is that almost everyone can start working with it, all you need is a website with good content.

Its wonderfull to see that "ordinary" people can earn some extra bucks, even if it is just 100 dollars, it can be enough to buy the wife a fancy dinner.

Agreed,
but this is not only for beginners at all.
I personally know several guys who made steady income only through affilate programs.
Persistency and willing to continous learning is key to success in this fast expanding IT field.

I'm new to affiliate programs. Will some one kindly explain this in detail? I'm sure there are many members who have personal experience. Looking forward to hearing from the knowledgeable people.

They are surely great but I think tough for beginners . Sometimes if a beginner is clueless on many terms and jargons used in this business he falls prey to people selling their own affiliate marketing success formulas and ends up losing more money than he might have wanted to earn . The best tip for beginners is to do a proper research and learning before they can think of going full fledged with the advertising task online . Also , try to go a little slow even if you have a good amount of knowledge . Before taking any step do some search on it as to what are the pros and cons of it .
