There are lots of good affiliate programs. What you need to do is find stuff that people actually want to buy that has an affiliate program. There are many such programs in Commission Junction and ClickBank for example (and they combine your earnings across multiple programs, not with each other, but between within all ClickBank programs and within all CJ programs).
You also need to read the rules of any particular program you plan on joining, as it's no good promoting something if you won't get paid because you broke the rules in some way.
That said (not all methods may be suitable/allowed with all programs) there are 4 main ways to make money with affiliate programs:
1. Create a web site, that contains affiliate links. The links should be related to the content of the site. For example, my site GraphicsAcademy.com is about graphics, and as well as content (about graphics) features affiliate links for graphics stuff from ClickBank, CJ, Amazon, etc.
2. Create an opt-in ezine and advertise your affiliate programs in there. Again the affiliate links need to related to the content of the ezine for best results.
3. Create an eBook and advertise your affiliate programs in there. Again the affiliate links need to be related to the subject of the ebook for best results.
4. Advertise the affiliate link directly in search engines (primarily people are talking about Google AdWords here).
For #1, #2 and #3 you need as many interested people reading as possible. If they're in a buying frame of mind, all the better.
For #4, it depends on how much money you're willing to feed into the search engine for advertising, what keywords you choose, how you write your ad, plus you have to be careful that you don't spend more on advertising than you actually make in affiliate commissions.
With the exception of #4 which is kind of a special case, FORGET ABOUT PROMOTING THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM LINKS DIRECTLY. You should be promoting your website/ezine/ebook which then leads to whatever affiliate program(s) you are currently using. That has several advantages: First, if you find new programs or change programs the promotion effort isn't lost or wasted. Second, you're promoting your business, not somebody else's (and somebody else whom you may not be associated with at some future point). Third, you can add value for users, by which I mean, hopefully people will read your stuff because there's something in it for them, even if the particular affiliate links change from day-to-day or year-to-year.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
