Clickbank - Not a Good Place for Newbies to Start
The best advice is to read everything you can in our Newbie Affiliate Forum and pay special attention to the "Sticky" threads.
After that you should probably spend a lot of time reading some of what is in our Niche Marketing Forum.
Best of all, we have some very helpful members who will answer your questions when you have any. In addition, we aren't trying to sell you anything and we don't allow our members to try to sell you anything in their posts in our discussion forums.
Stick around, read the helpful information we have and ask questions when you have questions. All of that should help you get on the right track and stay on it.
