The number one first choice you have to make before beginning an affiliate marketing venture is to decide what kind of affiliate program you want to market. Choosing the affiliate program can be just as critical as wh

ere you get your traffic because your conversion rate hinges on the product you’ll be promoting. If you have a shoddy product that doesn’t convert well or untargeted traffic for a targeted product, then you’ll be missing out on so many customer acquisitions it’s not even funny.

If all you have is general, untargeted traffic, then choose a topic that everyone is interested in like health & fitness or self-employment techniques.

The key is to choose an affiliate program that matches the interests of your target audience demographic. There are tons of great sources of affiliate programs like affiliate program directories, the Click Bank Marketplace, and hot new products you can discover with Google Trends, the Google Keyword Sandbox, and Overture Suggestions too. You can also check out the buzz at Yahoo’s Buzz Blog to see what the hottest selling products are.

There are so many ways to get your affiliate link seeing some action. You can post it on your signature at web forums, post it in your profile in chat rooms where it’s allowable to promote commercial enterprises in your profile, and tell your friends and your friends about a great new product you’re selling. You can also build tons of articles and submit them to many article directories. If your article catches peoples’ interest, it could spread around to other article directories and websites without any work whatsoever on your part, besides the initial investment of time. You can include your affiliate product’s link throughout your article, and then it’s just passive income from there throughout the rest of the time the article lasts online.
