Affiliate Programs

I have been actively working online now for about two years.  During the past couple years I have been exposed to a lot of different types of programs.  I must say, that I have probably tried most of them.  I have researched a lot of affiliate programs.  Some seem to work for other people, but to date non have worked very well for me.  I realize that you need to promote any affiliate program that you belong to, but even with this extra advertising, I haven’t been able to make any affiliate program that I’m involved with create any extra income for me.

So, I was wondering what types of affiliate programs you all are involved in and how do you promote them successfully?  I’m sure that there is a secret to become successful in this online marketing venture, but I have no idea what this secret is.  So, if you are involved in affiliate programs and are creating some extra income each month through this means, I would love to hear from you.

    I think the biggest thing is done try to sell the products directly, But reviewing the product giving pros and cons, Or ya know I am thinking about getting XYZ and wonder if anyone has tried it. Or maybe get a product that you really are interested in and blog about your progress about it. But dont use a sales pitch to sell them they get that when they click on the link.

    Another thing is only focus on a one or two then go from there having to many can be overwhelming for you and your reader. Or at least only focus on one per post/page.

    Good luck

    I am with popshops at the moment, I have my website link on my blog, if you want to take a look. It’s fairly new and it has received fairly decent reviews. The traffic is low at the moment, but hey its all free, did not spend a dime on the website :) The beauty of popshops is that all affiliate programs are rolled into one account, and you have detailed stats which are realtime. You can log in from anywhere in the world and check it out what it is doing, my websites all computers and audio visuals. You can pick and select any type of shop you want. So far I had fun designing and picking the items for the website.
