Affiliate marketing is one of the biggest potential online incomes. If you had known about making money online opportunities, one best way to make money online is affiliate.

I still learning affiliate marketing at present. Honestly I really confused how and when to start affiliate marketing. There are so many questions in my mind about affiliate marketing, so I need to create a list about these questions so I hope the list will resolve my confusions and questions.

Here my questions about affiliate marketing:

1. Which are the best affiliate program / network?!

There’re so many affiliate program out there, and you always want to try all of them. This is fine, so you will know more detail about those affiliate programs since you had tried them. But note, please keep your work efficiently, don’t wasting your time and effort in trying all affiliate programs. Remember, your main effort is promoting and generating sales or leads.

Honestly, I don’t want to promote all affiliate networks. If I’ve joined in 30 affiliate programs, then I promote all of them, it’s certain that I will be stressed and frustrated. So what I need is just a few affiliate networks to promote. Here is my selected choice of affiliate network: Copeac, Pepperjam Network, Commission Junction, Pay Dot Com, Market Health, Leading Edge Cash. These affiliate networks are not always best for you, your experience and knowledge are your main consideration, so you can enjoy with the affiliate network at your choice.

2. What are the best products to promote?

An affiliate network usually provides hundreds even thousands of products, both digital and physical products. So what the best product to promote?. The right measure to promote a product is the product that related to your niche, high conversion rate, and popular or branded products. But actually you can choose any products that you wish to promote.

3. Promotional methods

Here’s my next question about affiliate marketing, how to promote affiliate products?. I had known some promotional methods such as: list building, PPC Marketing, and natural SEO promotion. Each type of promotional method has it self features. I guess I don’t need all of them, what I need is only one or two type of promotional methods that I can enjoy, and also can drive a lot of traffic and generate more sales.

4. How to generate sales or leads?

Promotion is not enough to generate sales or leads. Beside promotion, you need several ways or methods to generate sales. Here the ways to convert traffic into sales: good sales letter or promotional sentence, and nice, simple, and attractive landing page. Better landing page and better sales letter will also generate more sales. This is absolutely about affiliate marketing technical aspect and marketing skills.

How about you!?

The questions above emerge from my problem and confusion in applying affiliate marketing. Then the questions above will emerge an action list in applying affiliate marketing. I hope it will bring me closer to successful affiliate.

I know the list above is too simple to explain about affiliate marketing, each process of affiliate marketing and questions above need more knowledge and exercise to become successful.
