Step 1
Decide which methods you want to use as an affiliate marketer. Some choices are creating a website, using PPC advertising to promote products or services (without building a website), and creating a niche blog.
-
Step 2
Register for affiliate networks. (There's a link to a directory of affiliate networks below, in the "Resources" section.) Registering for affiliate networks will put you in contact with merchants who want you to promote their products, services, or sites.
-
Step 3
Once you're approved by an affiliate network, take some time to familiarize yourself with the site, their terms of service, and the campaigns (companies) they represent.
-
Step 4
Decide which campaigns are best suited to the method of affiliate marketing you chose. For example, if you chose a niche blog, find campaigns that are relevant to your niche's topic.
-
Step 5
If you're using a website or niche blog, choose banner ads and text links to place on your site and in your pages and posts.

on 4/19/2009 I'm finding it's especially important to really get to know the people and sites I'm considering promoting--I just thought it was about finding products I liked and telling people about them, but there's so much more than that to learn and your article was very helpful. Thank you.
