How Do I Become An Affiliate Marketer?

This is a question that gets asked of me a lot these days

. So, I wanted to take a little bit of time out of my busy schedule to address this topic and give those new to the internet marketing scene a starting point to build on.

First, before you can even think about getting started, you need to think about exactly what it is you want to promote, because there mainly different things available.

Lets say for instance you wanted to promote video games. Video games are super popular and definitely not a bad thing to start out with. Now you have some options though. Do you want to promote the sale of the games, or would you possibly want to promote for one of the many online video game rental services?

Because if you want to sell the games, it would probably be a good idea to become an affiliate for amazon.com. They are the easiest place to go to where you will be able to promote video game sales.

But on the other hand, if you want to promote the rentals, you need to head on over to Commission Junction (cj.com) and open an affiliate account with them. Once you get accepted you can them apply to become an affiliate for Gamefly or one of the other rental services available.

Or maybe you want to do both, which in that case you have no choice but to apply to both companies. Now, there is a whole other side to affiliate marketing that you might not even though about, and that is promoting information (info) products.

The best way to go about promoting information products is to open an account with Clickbank (clickbank.com.) They are the premier provider of quality information products, they have a great reputation, and they have a ton of topic you can choose from to promote. There are other options besides Clickbank, but they stand out in the crowd the most. But just to give you another option, there is a company called Rap Bank that is gaining some steam and people are beginning to promote for them.
