What is an Affiliate?
An affiliate promotes products and services on their website for
a commission. They choose merchants that fit within the context
of their site's offerings. If you have a website devoted to
automobiles, for example, you would select merchants that sell
automotive products. You can build websites that specialize in
anything you prefer, such as travel, shopping, automotive,
sports, gifts, food, gambling, casinos, and just about anything
you are interested in. Affiliates enter into an agreement to
place links on their websites that lead to the merchant, for the
purpose of promoting goods and services. In return, affiliates
can earn commissions on click-through leads, or purchases made
through their sites
10 Steps To Becoming A Successful Affiliate
Affiliate websites are both challenging, and profitable. If you
are willing to devote some time and energy into creating, and
promoting your own website, it can be very rewarding. It takes
time, and a lot of hard work to develop a successful affiliate
website, but the rewards are phenomenal. Thousands of Merchants
have realized the tremendous value of having affiliates sell
their products, and are actively seeking new ones. It does not
cost anything to become an affiliate, but some merchant programs
are better than others. Can you trust them to track your
commissions correctly, and pay on time? Do they offer dynamic,
current, and proven sales aids to help you make sales? If you
are going through all the work to create a dynamic and appealing
website, to attract customers and make sales, than you need to
know that you can trust them to hold up their end of the
bargain. This is after all, a partnership between you and the
merchant, and you need to work well together. It's not enough
however, just to sign up as an affiliate with a merchant. You
need to build a website that will create sales, and know how to
promote your website so customers will visit it. I have created
a 10-step program for the novice that will take you from the
beginning research phase, to optimizing your finished site for
maximum exposure. I cannot guarantee you will be successful,
only you can determine that. I can assure you however, that if
you follow this 10 step program, you can build (without any
previous experience), an affiliate website that will make you a
lot of money
#1 Website Marketing
Before you do anything else, get yourself some good books on Web
Site Marketing. There are a lot of good ones available on the
Internet. Most are not very expensive, and many are free. You

the search engines like Google, or Alta Vista. It's important
that you do this first, because you will save yourself a lot of
time and aggravation if you learn from the experts what you
should be doing, before you build your website

prebuilt sites is that, what is on them, is what you
