Affiliate sites are sites like cashcrate.com right?
Cause I searched for some scripts on affiliate programs hoping to think about starting an affiliate sites. And a lot of the sites I came into seemed to be Affiliate and Advertisers...almost set up as Adsense and other advertising marketers...
Am I mistaken by the term affiliates? If I am what is a good example? If I'm not, then whats a good script (or site) to become one?
Thanks for your input,
-Sam

Affiliate just means that someone promotes your program or product and they receive a % of the sales. If you want to sell stuff develop a product and get affiliates to sell your product for a % of the sale

you most certainly can.

If you are able to get through the learning curve in the beginning, you can definitely make a career out of it. Dont listen to 99.9% of the get rich affiliate ebooks you see out there. In the beginning, there is a learning curve (combination of trial and error, and research). For me, it came down to ALOT of trial and error. But once you find your "niche", many additional doors will open. Think, you will have a skillset that can be used ANYWHERE...Its similar to that book "The 4 Hour WorkWeek" where they discuss the New Rich.. anyways..., i digress

You're CONSTANTLY learning different ways to market your product . Whether you are the product owner and getting affiliates, or an affiliate promoting other's products, you have to find the best "market" to sell the "product(s)". Once you do that, its a matter of improving your conversions.

best of luck!

Yes you can, if you treat it like a serious business. There's work involved, and there's going to be a learning curve.

I second what Brainpower said about affiliate ebooks. Don't waste your money on them - there are a few good ones out there but most of them aren't worth it. If you REALLY think some ebook or video sounds good, check out the author and what they've actually accomplished (not just what they SAY they've done in their sales letter). How long have they been in the business? Are they a regular speaker at any of the big affiliate conferences ? What else have they done? Are they a respected name in the industry?

Nothing against people who are new and unknown, but there are a LOT of posers writing/selling "get rich quick" ebooks.

Come to think of it, these "Affiliate Marketing" e-books being sold on the internet, are a merchandise of an affiliate network itself. They earn money selling the e-book, which talks about how to sell a merchandise like the e-book itself.
