Ever wondered how the big boys make so much money with affiliate programs? Here are some ideas to get you started on your own affiliate marketing business.
You will need to spend some time researching the best paying affiliate programs. Affiliate programs that I have used are Commission Junction and Click bank. Commission Junction sells hard goods whilst Click bank sells information products and software. Both programs have some high paying affiliate products. For more details go to www.affiliate-manager-pro.com. Before you create any web pages or choose a domain name, you need to do some research. Take time to decide what sort of product you might wish to sell and then locate an affiliate program related to your chosen product. For example, if you have an interest in dogs, then you might choose an affiliate e-book about “Dog Training”. Make a note of all the relevant products and what your commission will be.
How to find your affiliate program
Commission Junction
You can search their programs by advertiser name or products.
Hence, in our example of "dogs", you could search on the “products” box for this and find merchants who are selling this.
They also have a very useful tool called the EPC, which reflects how much has been earned for every 100 clicks. For example, if the EPC is $5, this would mean that for every 100 clicks, Commission Junction has paid out $5.
Now it's just simple moths, if you refer 100 customers to this program each day, you can expect to earn $5, 200 customers earn $10 and so on.
This is just a rough estimate of traffic, but it certainly helps in choosing one merchant over another, when they're selling the same or similar products.

In our example, a “vegetarian dog food” advert placed on a site about dogs is likely to be more successful than one placed on a site about home cooking!
Click bank
Then create a mini-site focused on your product. Buying traffic
A quick way to get traffic to your site is to pay for clicks from either Overture or Google. Buying traffic is a numbers game and is only likely to be profitable if you are selling something of a high value.
