Please take note that most of the affiliate products are usually information such as EBook, video, database, software application or services such as hosting, directory listing, directory submission etc.
All the collection of payment and delivery of goods will be done by the Affiliate Platform and vendor/merchant. Basically you do not need to do anything besides promoting. Even the support and refund of the product will be taken care of.

Now the first thing to decide is what kind of category of product that you want to sell, I strongly suggest you sell something that you have some interest or knowledge, for example if you like car, may be you can consider some product related to car.

Let’s look at Amazon, there are hundreds of books related to cars which maybe your target.

Let says you like dog and you may be interested to find out what is the dog related affiliate product available for sale. Visit www.Clickbank.com and click on the marketplace, you will see the following screen.

The screen show you what are the products related to dog training that participates in ClickBank affiliate program. The first one is “Secrets to Dog Training” which pay $32.05 for each sale that you refer to that vendor. Not bad at all.
So imagine of you can refer 3 customer in a month, you are making close to $100 a month without doing anything.
So I had decided what I want to sell now, how do I start an affiliate marketing now?
First you need to register an affiliate account at ClickBank or Amazon or Commission Junction. After you create an account, login and click on the “Create Hop Link” on the bottom of each product to create an url with your identity. Publish the link in your Website and promote it to your visitors.

Then what ? The visitors will just come to buy the product ? Of course not, you need to drive traffic to your Website, otherwise nobody is aware of what you are promoting.
