Affiliate marketing has proved to be one of the lucrative paying industry. One can make lots of money in the smallest possible time. It is but natural that more and people desire to become successful affiliate marketers and earn money.
That said, with the wrong information spread by wrong folks over there, beginners fall prey thinking that they can start earning in a few days. When they do not see desired results, they quit quickly. This generally happens because beginners just pick up few products and start promoting off the bat wherever they can like in blogs etc. skipping most important steps that really build the business. This happens to be cause of failure. Here are some of the reality checks that every new entrant in the field of affiliate marketing needs to understand. Knowing these realities will not only open up their eyes to deal with stark realities but also empower them better understand core principles of affiliate marketing and take informed decisions.
Planning
When we think of starting any new business, planning and goal setting is one of the first important task that comes in mind. Writing down plan of how to accomplish a major task braking it into smaller tasks and timely completion is one of the important aspect as far as affiliate marketing, or any other task for that matter, is concerned. But a plan in this direction will need to be prepared before you can discuss and outsource the same to a third party. In short, you have to be specific and focused of what you expect from the freelancer.
Decision Taking
Affiliate marketing generally involves consistent and major decisions in the beginning. For example decision regarding setting up a website or a blog or a forum in my particular case. Some people suggest that website is not required and others suggest that it is a must have for pesonal branding. What research and analysis software would be required in my particular case and investing on those business tools and whether to outsource routine tasks like content writing and animation etc.
Secondly, if you decide to outsource, you first need to put a thinking hat, decide and make a plan of what you want to offer to your targeted visitor in return of which they will part you with your money and accordingly assign work to freelancers. One has to decide beforehand:
1. Do I have resources to invest big time and money?
2. Am I ready learn what it takes to become a successful affiliate marketer?
3. Am I ready to outsource?
4. Am I ready to undertake all the required research and analysis?
Investment
Investment is one of the major hurdles. For example to create a website, you need domain name and hosting, tools for research and analysis as mentioned earlier also if you are really going to compete and make it happen. Here most of the beginners think too long to decide whether or not they are going to invest in business or not. A professional business would certainly require at least minimum investment of money. This investment would be two pronged- investment in acquiring necessary knowledge and skill on the one hand and in software tools etc. on the other.
Be Prepared to Invest in Lot of Time as process of setting up affiliate marketing business, demands learning as well as practically doing the different tasks and would need to budget time accordingly.
Patience
You would see the progress gradually but big time results would take some time until you have integrated the whole process seamlessly. Consistent tracking and testing, promotions, tweaking and refinement would need to be done on a continuous basis. This would require patience and perseverance on your part.
Final Thought
In the end, we can say that one needs to think thoroughly and calmly whether affiliate marketing is for him or not. Make a start with strong determination and you will be among the front row of winners.

If you are already working online, it is much easier for you to pick up a subject around your niche. Alternatively, you can pick up a subject relating to a hot product or service and weave an article or review on it. Your article must address a problem and present a solid solution. While presenting a solution, you redirect visitors to your website if you have one, or you can send them to your affiliate merchant’s site, through your resource box, where merchant’s sales page will close the sale for you.
Following important points need to be borne for an article to be successful and profitable.
1. It should point to good product or service
2. Content should be rich with related keywords and key-phrases and appealing.
3. Title of the article should be persuasive and attention grabbing.

5. Article must contain important keywords, which you think visitors will look for while searching information on your product in your article.
6. A resource box at the end of article, which generally all article directories allow. This resource should have strong sales pitch. Through resource box, you can either soft sell your product or use it as your opt-in list builder.

As for product selection, you would need to join Clickbank or Commission Junctionor other merchants who provide good affiliate products. This exercise also needs some work on your part. (Finding hot products). Clickbank is a great market place, which provides you all the needed information on the popularity and gravity of a product so you can have an idea how a product is performing.
