Recommended advertising and affiliates....

Hi there,

I have been promising myself to try and make some money.
If I had some recommendations it might help me to pull the thumb out of you know where.

I was wondering if you will be putting up a top ten list of ways to advertise any website and use affiliates.

I have looked at quite a few affiliates but all the double talk and sales bunk is driving me to distraction.

If somebody with experience recommended just one or two of each type of advertising and affiliates it would be a good starting point for newbies like me.
The emphasis would be that somebody has else all ready been driven to distraction
Show me the money!

Hi Cayden

Try the most established programs such as Amazon affiliate system, lots of people make decent money with that.

You need to have a good quality site with lots of traffic then add affiliate schemes that complement it, things don't really work the other way round - people come to a site for good content then click affiliate ads, perhaps, not the other way round. It requires time and effort therefore to start earning from affiliate marketing.

I guess one can look at making money from affiliate programs in a couple of different ways.

1) With a products only site.
A good example would be an Amazon bookstore, using an AWS script. This type of site would simply focus on selling product and making commissions.

2) Content site
This is a more subtle way of generating affiliate income. An example would be a review site where you'd provide your feedback/opinions of a product and provide an affiliate link for it or related products.
There are also a whole lot of independent affiliate programs, but they may require a bit more searching. A good example is http://www.wantedpronto.co.uk/affiliatezone/?source=331458LI3573G2
