Side Note to Walking the Affiliate Highway

1) Join internet forums that deal with topics about affiliate selling, affiliate marketing etc. By browsing topics on these affiliate forums, you will learn which products people are selling, problems people are having (you may have a product or you can find a product that will help them) and other ideas that may help you. Remember others have made mistakes and if you can learn from these mistakes,then you are one step closer to success.

2) Like the Forex market, I have read that 90% of affiliates make little or no money. This may be true but don't let this stop you from trying. Just don't jump into affiliate marketing with your eyes closed. Learn everything you can, find a good niche market, fill the need with a product.

3) You will also hear that you should start off with niches that you know something about. A hobby or something you are very interested in. If this is where you choose to start research to make sure that this niche isn't over saturated.

4) Multiple streams of income is another subject you will hear a lot about. This is a great idea. But a word of advice when you are first starting out, work on one source at a time and get it set up so that it is on auto-pilot. Before move on to the next income source. Or you will have a lot of nothing making a lot of nothing.
That is what I found myself doing with all the products I found on Clickbank and the excitement of starting an online business. Along with reading all the hype of making $$$ a month.
