One of the first things I strongly advise the beginning internet entrepreneur, is to only pick affiliate programs with one or more actual products. Amazingly enough, many “Money Making Marketing Monsters” turn out to sell absolutely nothing, except… themselves! And that comes frighteningly close to “pyramid schemes”. Mind: there are exceptions to this rule - but they’re relatively few, and especially if you want to build a reputation as an honest marketer, you should start out with a product.
If I were you (which I ain’t, otherwise right now you’d be writing and I’d be reading - grin!), I’d subscribe to TrafficSwarm, a free advertisement site where you can browse away happily among all kinds of (real or quasi) money making sites, learning to distinguish between those with a product and those with none. In the meantime you collect credits for advertising your own site there, so you’ll be hitting several birds with one stone.
The latter statement, in fact, is one of the basics of succesful internet marketing: once you’ve learned to find your way inside this veritable maze, you should generate several different (potential) streams of income. Right in the beginning however, you should KISS (”Keep It Simple, Stupid!”). So the first step should be figuring out which program offers a true product, and proceed from there.
Want my personal opinion on what might be a good beginners option? I’d give Global Domains International a go. Mark my words: it’s going places!
