online marketing that involves using links and banners on one website
to market another. It is a business that is very profitable mostly
because the marketer is paid for every click made on these links
and banners.

don'ts that you need to work with.

help of such tools as Google Adwords or Micro Niche Finder. This
should help you set up a website that is based on a popular niche
or product. This then works towards attracting traffic to the
site.
- If you are serious with affiliate marketing and want
to earn big from it, then you need to build your own website based
on your product and publish the promotional links and banners.
This can easily be done by simply accessing web hosting sites
such as AOL.
- Stick to one product. Success in affiliate marketing depends
mostly on your patience. You should start seeing your gains from
your product in a few weeks.

get to click on the links or banners that are published.

content. This is to make sure that there are high chances of users
clicking on your links.
Don'ts
- Don not jump from one product to another with the aim of looking
for the most profitable one. Success in affiliate marketing is

- Do not just affiliate a website for the mare reason it offers
a high pay per click. Some websites offer a high pay per click
but the chances of an internet user actually clicking on any of

products.

good gains. Expanding your business by creating more websites
is highly encouraged if you want to be very successful.
