No matter if you have experience in developing websites or not, affiliate marketing is not something I would just take shots in the dark. In order to be successful you have to obtain the training necessary to help you get a running start. If you miss this step you could potentially put yourself into the poor house. Or you will start and fizzle out before you actually make any money worth sneezing at.

So, what do you want to do. Do you want to develop websites or would you like to try your hand at google adwords. I have to tell you, I started with google adwords. And I found it very hard to make substantial money with this system in the beginning. It wasn't until I read the ebook google 123 that I understood the full potential of google adwords. How to set up campaigns. How to test the campaigns and still stay profitable. How to research my keywords. And many other techniques.

But what about developing websites? I am glad you asked that. I love developing websites. I love the challenge. But their is so much you have to do to start just one website. Between SEO, article writing, and keyword research, these three tasks could keep the beginner busy for at least a few weeks. But why so long? You don't want to start a brand new website and not get any visitors. In affiliate marketing this is a no no. You have to do your research first so you don't have to come back later and change everything just to get the first visitor. So let me give you some resources to start with.

1. Af filiate Master Course- This is a free resource. Yes free!!! I found this a year ago and I live by it still to this day.

2. Search Engine Optimization for Dummies - One of the best SEO books I have read thus far.

3. The Super Affiliate Handbook - A good book but it kind of repeats some of the things in the Affiliate Master Course. I would purchase this last.

These three resources will give you a great introduction to affiliate marketing. So lets get started. Stay focused and work the system. Happy Marketing.. And make some money..
