* Research affiliate programs. Find out most popular products and their conversion rates.
* Join an affiliate program. Select a program that offers recurring commissions that compound each month as you sign up more customers. Most important is to make sure you believe in the product or service.
* Promote an affiliate program through a website or blog. You will have a better chance of sending potential buyers to your affiliate programs if you create a website or blog to promote your affiliate programs. Visiting other professional websites or blogs of your niche is a good way to get some ideas on how to design your website or blog.
* Make your website content relevant. For example, if your affiliate sells e-books, you can write a review or make a YouTube video for each e-book with an affiliate link to the sales website.
* Drive targeted traffic to your website. To earn affiliate commission you need to drive targeted traffic to your website. The more traffic your website gets, the more likely you’ll make sales. Affiliate programs are usually free to join. Once you have signed up you are given an affiliate ID that is specific to you. Your ID is how purchases are tracked to you when they are made through your website or blog.
