How to be a successful affiliate?

Question

Hi guys,

I am an affiliate, using search engines for advertising on behalf of my merchants, online, targeting USA since two years with negligible success. Can anyone who has achieved a success in online affiliate marketing, give me good tips? No ads please, spam will be reported, best answer will be voted.

Answer 1

Carefully targeted PPCs.

Article Writing.

Careful SEO of specific websites that target your affiliate products.

Active participation in social networks and WEB 2.0

The list goes on...

I was new to affiliate marketing myself, but the company I am with basically trains me on how it is professionally done.  What you really need to do is get educated.  I could recommend a few sources but you would probably think it is spam.
