Affiliate-marketing has been around on the Web for quite sometime now, but I know a lot of affiliates who don't know much or even nothing about it.
Most of these people think that they can easily make a quick buck or two from affiliate programs. Well that's not the case. Now the question is can someone really make money with affiliate programs?
There are obviously many ways to make money online: Some simple, some quite complicated. Personally, I feel affiliate programs are a great way to reinforce your home business. Affiliates struggling to earn $150 a month often find it hard to believe that other people could possibly earn as much as $8,000 or even $80,000 to 100,000 a month in commissions.
In fact, such commissions do happen!
That is why, affiliate marketing training is an important first step to becoming successful in affiliate marketing. And if you are looking to start your career as a successful affiliate marketer, it’s the only step you should be considering before you begin.

Affiliate marketing Tips - What is Affiliate Scrawl
Although Affiliate marketing has been around for sometime, only a few know how to make some serious money online with them.
This blog was basically started as a source to voice out personal frustrations as a marketing affiliater, and to also spread the word and on pros and cons on online affiliate marketing
Although affiliate scrawl delves into other aspects as well, its primary idea was affiliate marketing
But how long would I be able to sustain this subject, remains to be seen.
In fact, Affiliate Marketing is a great work from home business, for anyone with a computer and a desire to run their own affiliate business.
Most of us know that affiliate programs are making people rich ! However, as per market statistics only 5% to 10% of affiliates really make money-online. Over 80% of all affiliates never get a check over $100, and of the remaining 20%, many of those only get the occasional check. Less than 5% get monthly checks of any real size from most affiliate programs.
So what is the solution ?
Either decide to go through the grind, which will take quite some time to set up your home business or, hire someone else to do it for you. Now, if you chose the first option, I can't say your choice is bad, as no books nor any marketing courses can come anywhere close to pure practical experience. (James Martell and Rosalind Gardner) are two such examples of self-taught successful affiliate marketers.
But the problem is time. By the time you start to make money online, a couple of months would have gone by. Moreover, you must also not get caught up in the trap of learning and not earning. It is VERY essential that you start to make some money online as early as possible, so as to fund your initial affiliate campaign and other minor expenses. Bottom line is that you can gather as much practical experience as you want, BUT also with a parallel income.
Your next step would be to sign up as an affiliate with good programs and start promoting their products in your free web page.
They show you how to plug into hundreds of products that will pay you commissions of up to 50% or more. Besides, you don't even need your own web site as they supply three professionally designed, response driven, web sites loaded with top selling information products with very generous commissions.
All you got to do is to join the affiliate programs mentioned there, then change the affiliate codes to your own, and properly market your site. Not that it will make you a killing, but you will get the general idea of how it should be done.
This also provides you with considerable room for trial and error. Another advantage is that you can set your own time frame. Most guys who have made it have invested heavily in their initial stages, only to realize later, that it was more of a waste.
Nonetheless, it is essential you set a shoestring budget, set a time-frame (say 3 months, if not 6 months maximum). If you don't see any form of income trickling in by then, it is better to let it take a back seat and give more impetus to your primary job. This does not mean to forget it completely, as there are holidays, nights and other free time. Because, the phases vary, the 1st phase (first 6 months) could be slow; the next could be slightly better etc.
Alternately, try your hand at surveys, data entry, transcription, surf traffic exchanges, write freelance articles (to name a few) that can meet your daily expenses. People generally tend to forget the value of time (calculate the average hourly wages you may get if you were employed, and multiply this sum by the time-frame you tend to dedicate to your new business - you will be surprised to note that it could be a tidy sum). Although you can consider this as your investment, it is extremely important that you set a fixed time frame - I am quoting this from personal experience.
Alternately, you can always check at the ClickBank Mall, if you need more selections of any product/ service. You can obtain or set up a ClickBank Mall. With this you can have your own Clickbank Search Engine Marketplace that's encoded with your ClickBank ID For FREE.
It could be a while before it sort of hits you. This is so because, like all other form of businesses, you have to get the 'IDEA' of how it works. It could be just a spark, and it could happen in a single day or even an hour then things will start falling in place. You'll never make it if you think that if it could for John Doe, it could work for me. No matter, how many books and courses you study.
To re-phrase this in detail - it is like trying to memorize algebra, physics formulas or organic chemistry. This will not get you anywhere. To achieve success in these areas, you must understand the concept and connections
Once you slowly get the hang of things, slowly register your own domain, set up a website, do your marketing research, identify niche and affiliate marketing opportunities.
This is relatively an easy way to make a parallel income during the early stages of your career in affiliate-marketing.
