Hi mylotters!
I am interested in knowing more about affiliate marketing methods, websites or just any tips for beginners. I was reading a little on some forums but there seems to be many websites available and I don't know where to start. I signed up for Commission Junction but I don't understand what I earn for, is it per sale or per referral??? I hope there are some experienced mylotters who can help me out.

Commission Junction has been known to scam affiliates. Don't believe me? Just do a search about scam and lawsuits against them. Yes they are one of the bigger affiliate networks, but as we all should very well know by know, some large corporations do shady things - and CJ is one of them.
As far as affiliate marketing is concerned, yes you can make money but it is a lot of merchant and network fraud going on in the industry so just be aware that if you decide to delve into this area - don't expect to be properly credited for all your marketing efforts. Sorry if you wanted to here something a little better but I tell it like it is. So bottom line is yes you can make money with affiliate marketing, but if you have your own product or service to sell that would be the best way to go coz then you control everything and you can have affiliates working for you!

Yes, there are so many programs online. Most programs need referrals to earn money. For example, matrix and mlm... These days you can earn make money from the programs without referrals. Worse, you have to invest some dollars. I got paid some programs without any referrals. At least, you can start to make money from one of them. If you want, let me know that. I can tell you something.
