I know that millions of people are exposed to different ways to make money for the first time every day, so lets analyze exactly what affiliate marketing is.

As an affiliate marketer you get paid to perform a specific action for the affiliate merchant. In the early days of affiliate marketing this was primarily done through selling products.

Amazon.com was one of the first affiliate programs which allowed you to sell books online. They are still one of the largest online retailers in the world and have an excellent affiliate program.

Today you can also make money as an affiliate doing things such as getting leads or getting people to click on ads. Google Adsense is an example of this.

1. Choose a niche. Find something that you have an interest in or are passionate about.

This is good advice because you will stick with it even when you're not making money at first. It might also be something that you have knowledge on and could turn into an Internet business.

One of the tricks to making money with affiliate marketing is to brand yourself as an expert in the niche you choose. Being passionate about it, or knowledgeable on it, will help you do that.

2. Find affiliate programs. Most affiliate programs are free to join.

Merchants are looking for people to represent their products online. Finding products or programs is not hard to do. Joining and affiliate network is a good way to get started.

Google Adsense is the top pay per click affiliate prorgram. Commission Junction is the top cost per action affiliate program..

ClickBank is the largest digital information affiliate program. Amazon is a great program to find physical products to sell.
