Affiliate Programs Work

People seem to have this mistaken idea that because the different companies offering affiliate programs have so many different products to offer, it will be easy to sell those products from your website. Even if you do manage to find a product that sells well, you will have to sell a great many products in order to make any kind of decent income from these programs. Even with these higher paid affiliate programs, you have to be willing to do a great deal of advertising and promoting of your website in order to make any substantial income.

With affiliate programs, the key is in advertising and promoting, and the more you have to advertise and promote, the better your chances are that you will be successful with the venture. For example, don't join an affiliate program for a company that sells political memoirs if you have no interest in politics.
