The easiest affiliate marketing strategy or technique...

I believe Affiliate Marketing is the best online business an online entrepreneur can engage into. The success of course depends on how you exert your efforts on such money making business. Hearing all the 'so-called teachings' of some 'so-called successful' affiliate marketers out there, however, makes the whole affiliate marketing system a bit difficult to start up... it kinda makes a newbie confuse on how and where really to start first. With all the claims out there by successful affiliate marketers, is there really an easiest strategy or technique perhaps for a newbie to start up his own affiliate marketing business?

Hi, I actually take the long term approach when it comes to affiliate marketing - that while it might take a bit of extra work it's actually pretty simple -plus it's building a passive income that will continue to grow etc. Just take the time and do some research - what are people searching for, how can your product/service help them etc. Set up a website or blog, write some content that sort of answers their questions/needs - then link out to the related affiliate product. Of course you need to promote that site - article marketing, link building etc etc. But that's the basics of it. And remember once you have it online it's there pretty much for good - unless you take it down etc - so it offers the chance to continue earning from affiliate sales years after you first set it up etc.

Thank you re08dz. Actually, I've been doing research already since November. I've even got everything I need to start up on a hard written copy (notepad) as well as in my spare external disk drive. The problem now is I'm getting too much informations that it's starting to confuse me which, where, how to really jumpstart everything. However, I do know that once everything is totally set up on line... I 'll see the fruits of my labor eventually.

Good on you. Now you just need to put it all together and put it online :-) the thing is, particularly with affiliate marketing, is that you can continue to learn and expand on what you know or do as you're going. If you've done your research (got your topic, product and content) then decide where you're going to host it and get it online. Promoting it and getting traffic etc is an ongoing learning experience that for the most part you'll pick up as you go along. What works well for some topics/products may not necessarily work well for others, though the basics of good content and related keywords etc is pretty standard across the board. Using articles to build content to your site that promotes your product etc is all one of the best ways to go and works pretty well no matter what product/service/niche etc your in. Good luck with it.
