The easiest method is to realize that most affiliate programs will earn you nothing

You have to spend quite a bit of time and energy finding the right programs that will actually make you sales

If you are not careful you will waste alot of time on programs that seem to work - but which in fact deliver you nothing

So #1
Do your homework first

Just because product X has an affiliate program and other peoples are raging about it, doesnt mean it will sell anything for you

In my experience there are very few programs that earn you a commission cheque

So my advice is spend some time testing a program until you find something that actually delivers sales
If a program you have chosen doesnt deliver anything within a fairly short period, then it probably means it is not going to work for you
So don't waste any more time on it

It can be difficult because there are hundreds of thousands of products and affiliate schemes out there. Remember that the web is very competitive. So try and do something different
