INTERNET MARKETING

I'm kinda just started out, and trying to figure out what's better for someone like to to do. I would eventually like to try out both, and other, methods, but which is the most newbie-friendly (as in the one I'm more likely to see income coming in sooner and thus get more motivation)?

im not really sure which one would be more newbie friendly but with clickbank your commission will be higher than amazon. (in some cases)

i guess everything depends on your marketing strategy and your seo knowledge

good luck

Conversions are generally a lot higher for physical products so you're more likely to make a faster sale and keep motivated.

I may be completely wrong though. It wouldn't be the first time.

I would have to agree with Zena that the commissions are higher with clickbank than they are with Amazon.

In my opinion, they are both relatively newbie friendly as far as getting signed up with.

Amazon does require a website, although you could go the free route with Blogger as it interfaces with Amazon right from the dashboard. But then you are at the mercy of the big G. and don't own the site and it can get deleted without warning.

As for which will give you the quickest return, again like Zena said it all depends on your marketing strategy.

The best advice I can give is make a plan and focus on it until you see results, good or bad and then tweak until its profitable. Take Action.

  You should go with Amazon,
  
  There are A TON of tips and tricks that you could learn for Amazon to make tons of cash.. in the long run
  
  In the short run, however, you can find a ton of good keywords for amazon, because CPC's are irrelavant!!
  
  All the best,
