What products are you trying to sell?

I highly recommend you to build your own niche blog site. And go from there.

Once you have your blog, fully optimize it for email marketing so you can start building your email list. This will become one of your best assets online.

A blog will give you more authority in your niche and it will help you build that passive income that you are probably looking for. Right.

Also, please, keep in mind that there are no shortcuts to making money online. Do not look for the get-rich-quick systems, because they do not exist. It takes time and effort to build a sustainable income from the internet. Understand this very well so you don't get discourage as you build.

Hope this helps!

I've been promoting affiliate / CPA offers for over 17 years.

The below is basically my canned response to those considering affiliate / CPA marketing, as it's worked so well for me.

I heavily promote PPL (pay per lead...lead generation) offers. This is because there is no credit card / purchase required to complete an offer. All a user has to do is fill out a form, so conversion rates are typically much higher compared to offers that require a sale to be made.

I favor offers that have a make, get or save money benefit to them, as they have overall worked the best. They also tend to have the greatest mass appeal (will be of interest to a large general audience), so the potential exists to produce high volume and they are fairly easy to cross promote on the back-end.

Some of the verticals (niches) I have done extremely well with are: education, insurance, loans, debt, credit, mortgage, assistance, discount offers, homeowner offers, etc...

The bulk of the PPL offers that I promote pay $20-$40 per lead, but I also promote offers that pay more and less. You don't want to get too caught up on what an offer pays because how well it converts is just as important. For example, if you have an offer that pays $9, but if it converts at 2X or more of a $20 offer, then it will perform about the same or possibly better. At the same time, if you have an offer that pays $90 and it converts poorly, it may not even be worth promoting.

I have also done just as good with dating website sign-ups and pretty good with free trial + S/H offers. I also promote a very limited number of offers that straight sales. For them, mass appeal is still the number one thing I look for and I also look for one of the following...

1) The product is new and/or novel-unique and you can't purchase it locally or even something similar. I don't waste my time with it once something similar shows up in Walmart.

2) The buyer can truly get what is being offered at a decent discount.

3) Solves a house is on fire type problem.

However, I mainly promote non-PPL offers on the backend.

Bottom line, it's far easier to get someone fill out a short form than to get them to pull out their credit card and make a purchase. So why struggle with trying to sell this or that, when you can provide free information that users want/need and get paid well doing it.

Something to think about.

Start by picking a niche or traffic source.

Are you looking at paid or free traffic?

Find a niche you want to tackle
Find a product
Create simple funnel with a good click bait (free book)
Capture the email address
Deliver your free ebook
Send them to an upgrade (your affiliate product)

Or you can get a good PLR with all the components above. Build your list and market affiliate products to your list...

First, select a niche then find keywords target audience in which country then make a blog through and promote the product through SEO rank your blog so that traffic come on it.

First Capture the emails with the traffic sources you want to use , like free or paid .
Free includes Seo , forum marketing etc . Paid includes ppc , ppv , banner ads , mobile ads etc.
Once you capture the emails . Make relationship with them by giving them some free guides and valuable lessons . then blast your offers .
I am sure you will get conversions .
Best of luck !

Utilize Social Media Marketing to Get More Traffic

I started my affiliate marketing business by simply reading blogs and forums about it. I probably took a lot of time reading and doing tons of research. Then from there, i took the step in availing my own domain and hosting and then eventually built my blog website. It took me a year or so to monetize my blog and then eventually I found myself handling more than one website at a time, which are all built for affiliate marketing. All these can sound easy, but they're not. There are a lot of times I doubt if it will really work for me. But I hang there and just do the best I can to make things work. It can be different from others but all I am saying is, find time to really spend reading and knowing about the industry you like to start in. It takes a lot of focus and passion to become successful. Good luck!

I would start by reading Mike Morgan's CPA tutorial for beginners in the ad networks section. I believe that should be more than enough to get you started.
