What is The best way to do affiliate marketing

If I where you I'd keep clear of ppc until you know a bit more about "affiliate marketing."

You need to get a good understanding about keywords, competition, promotion methods and getting traffic.

Article marketing is the easiest place to start in terms of what you need to do, but you MUST learn how to choose the right keywords and how to get your articles ranked well in the search engines.

As for how many articles it's a bit like "how longs a piece of string"?

You might do okay with a few well chosen, high ranking articles for good terms, but you'll need a lot if you want a full time living.

You'll probably still use article marketing when you start your own sites?

I would tend to get a few articles done over a couple of weeks if you're totally new to this, then quickly move on to your own site(s),

Feel free to send me a PM if you want to be more specific?

all the best,

Obviously the first thing is to pick your niche, and have an idea what kind of products you want to promote within that niche.

The best way to do affiliate marketing is to know your products inside and out - in some cases even purchasing them and testing them yourself, interviewing the product creators if you can, interviewing users of the products, etc.

If you do those things, you will have done more than 99.9% of all affiliate marketers, and most likely 80% of most product creators themselves!

And then, if you build sites based on those quality pieces of information, audios, videos, teleseminars, etc. you will have a super high quality site that will out-perform many of the product creators sites - and why not? Some product creators are great...at creating products, but suck at marketing them. If you do the hard work of building these product marketing items, you will get quality traffic.

And you will have tons of data for creating hundreds of articles to submit for SEO and backlink traffic.

As many on this forum have said: Affiliate marketing is simple, but not easy. But I add, that the hard part is just doing what 99% of everyone else do not want to do.

Do that, and you will succeed.

Hi Paul,

You will get many answers, all with different flavors, however they will all be about the main thing affiliate marketing is all about - and that is - marketing.

Writing articles is one way of generating traffic and building your brand. But that is just one way of doing that. There are many ways to generate traffic and build your brand.

Generating traffic and building your brand are just two of the activities you will need to engage in when you do your marketing.

It's impossible to teach you all you need to know in a forum post so I will not even attempt to do that. I'll just give you a bit of advice: whatever you do, don't look for shortcuts, stay focused and don't quit.

Work on your vision, set your goals and create a plan.

Wishing you success!

You are like me just a newbie. I have joined lots of affiliate marketing. You need to study and try. For easier guide, choose your niche, create a website or a blog, optimize, ind ways to place your site URL on the net, use social media, forum posting, link building and many more. The most important is, if you have idea,talent or skills article writing , start and monitize.

I can't say for sure which is the best way to do affiliate marketing. I can say that for me, article marketing and linking to forums worked best.

I guess the best way to go about affiliate marketing is to pick a niche. Build a website (or more) based on that niche. Do some keyword research on your niche and also do some general research to find out how well you can expect to do on the niche Post valuable and knowledgable content on your site(s). Be sure to promote your site out there through social bookmarking, article marketing, commenting on blogs and forums with links back to your site.

But be sure to keep adding valuable content so people would be more likely to return to your site.

There are other ways to do affiliate marketing but this is hte way I found that works the best for me.

You would have to find out what works for you.

If articles writing is simple for you, meaning you have good english, this could be a very cheap and profitable route to take. There are a lot of article marketing techniques you can decide to follow on here, but the best that I have found is Travis with Bum Marketing concept.

Good luck!

Get an account on aweber and get hosting on hostgator and build a squeeze page and then use BUM marketing to drive traffic to the squeeze page. Build a relationship with the list and start selling them stuff. And you are going to make money.
