How To Improve Your Odds Of Making Money As An Affiliate Marketer
This is a topic that I seldom see discussed here in the forum, so I figured I would share my two cents and see what other folks think as well.

Within networks like ClickBank, all one needs to do is to get approved by ClickBank and put your ClickBank ID in the Affiliate URL.

So many hopeful Affiliate Marketers die at the starting gate, and few ever understand why or how to fix it.
With any Affiliate Network that pays "rotating affiliate commissions" through PayPal, it is very important for Affiliate Vendors to be very selective about WHO they approve to be affiliates.
As Affiliate Vendors, we need to be careful to only select affiliates who:
As a result of these factors, Affiliate Vendors want to know:

As Affiliate Vendors, we need to be careful to only select affiliates who:
- Gives Refunds to users who ask for them;
- Has a Public Persona online (helps vendors understand who they are dealing with);
- Uses Promotional Methods with Integrity;
- Uses Effective Promotional Techniques in order not to diminish Product Conversion Rates, which are used by other affiliates to decide what offers to promote.
As a result of these factors, Affiliate Vendors want to know:
- Something about the Affiliate as far as their reputation and personal integrity.
- How an Affiliate Offer will be promoted.

- Have a Signature File, so that Affiliate Vendors can get a better sense of who you are and what you do online; and
- Tell Affiliate Vendors how you expect to promote their offers.
