If your new to affiliate marketing start here!

Welcome!

Trust me, or don't! I'll tell you one thing right now. You're going to lose money before you start to make anything. By the way.. Creating a blog on how to make money is your first mistake if you think you're going to get rich. It doesn't work like that. The competition out there is extreme for the money millionare information. You've probably read this a hundred time over already.

First off.. Buy 1 of the guides on how to make money. They are mostly the same information, but if you don't have a clue where to start, it's a decent place to start.
Why! Cause you don't have a clue, and starting a website and sticking banners on it. Might make you enought to buy a pint of beer in a few months.. remember, hosting fees, your time and effort will eat most of the profit you'll make.

Google cash 3rd edition is actually a nice manual. It will show you a few streams of marketing ideas that create some instant gains. You'll be able to afford a few nights out next week.

Again, nothing is easy, I'm not forcing any links in this post, as it's how I see it. Take it or leave it.. it's up to you.

The biggest issue you'll have at first is traffic to your links. PPC will solve that, but it costs money, but you will make money back.
