So how to get started in affiliate marketing?
There is a good and easy method that you can use straight away to start making money from affiliate programs. It may take around an hour or two to set up, and then you can just forget about it and let it do the work for you.
The method is to write an ebook on the subject of the affiliate product(s) that you are promoting. All you have to do is casually place your affiliate links inside the ebook wherever it is relevant. Then every time your ebook gets read, you have the chance to make affiliate commissions. For this reason you should make sure that you give away your ebook for free. You can give your ebook away at ebook directories.
It is actually very easy to write an ebook. You may be sitting there thinking that you cannot do it, and that it is "too difficult". This is not true. The most important thing you need to realise is that an ebook, or any book for that matter is just a series of articles organised into chapters. When you think of it like this, it may be easier to motivate yourself.
Your ebook or report does not have to long, say about 25 pages or so is the average. Make sure that your content is informative and interesting. The golden rule is that it should provide some kind of value for the reader. This will encourage your ebook to get passed around and recommended, which is exactly what you want.
