I have a couple of friends who "went into affiliate marketing" about a year ago, knowing almost nothing about it, and both making a full-time living from it now. They would certainly both agree very much with exactly what Mike says here. The problems they both encountered in the early stages of their learning-curve were that there's too much available information around, most of it for sale, and quite a lot of it either mistaken, inappropriate or ill-advised. It really can be very difficult to distinguish, when you know almost nothing, between good, solid reliable information for the beginner and things that are recycled, unreliable, second-hand information that's been hyped up out of all proportion. (Exactly the same's true in my field of networking marketing, now I think about it
).
A good and reliable tip seems to be "don't spend
any money until you know exactly what you want to do". Information on internet marketing in commercially available e-books is also available free, if you look with patience. Specifically, there are no "magic formulas" and the people purporting to sell them should be ignored. The Warrior Forum, mentioned above, got my friends started (and they didn't need the "paid membership" until many months after they started earning real money.
Good luck!
