Affiliate marketing for Newbies...

[gemini]

Hi all,

I realize affiliate marketing is not easy at all, and no matter which program one chooses, making money will NOT come without hard work. Though, I am sure some programs and niches are easier for beginners than others.

1) What niche do you recommend for a beginner?

2) What affiliate program is a good one?

1) For niche, keep up to date with google trends and ebay pulse etc. as its changing constantly

2) Aff programs best for beginners are cj/clickbank

1) Forex has been a good niche for me I am actually launching my own product tomorrow!
2) Clickbank is good for beginners but if you look at some of the websites and the affiliate pages on the sites you will see a ton of material on where to post on how to get started!

I fully disagree. Both networks give you no clue on how to actually promote the products. Most of the CJ advertisers automatically decline my application, because I'm not in the US. Even those who accept me provide me with 0 help on what to do to make money with them - I get only links/banners and that's all.
