Affiliate marketing

I have been an affiliate marketer for quite some time now. I have made pretty decent amount of money by promoting my affiliate links in different traffic sites as well as on my website and blogs. It takes a lot of work and time to keep them up to date and fresh. With another holiday season coming up, I will be re vamping some of my sites. I have done this the slow way without any out of pocket monies. I use linkshare to get the affiliate links that I use and sign up for. I like linkshare because they have many useful tools which help you track your sales, number of hits and where the hits come from. It is a great way to keep organized and it is all free to join. It is not easy being an affiliate marketer, but if you like the work and have the time you will benefit in the rewards.
