Affiliate marketing with PPC programs?

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Does anyone earn from affiliate marketing without a website and through PPC services like Adwords and Yahoo search marketing, etc? How did you start?

You need to do a lot of "homework" and research before spending money on PPC to drive traffic to affiliate merchants.

If you're thinking about buying a "program" that some promoter is selling, think twice.

I've written an article explaining why most people do NOT make money from this strategy. See http://www.MarkWelch.com/affiliate-arbitrage.htm (no ads, just advice).

A good place to research affiliate marketing is ABestWeb (http://www.ABestWeb.com/) which is a community of affiliates and merchants — don't post there until you've spent at least 10 hours searching and reading old discussions.
