I have a few questions:
1- Should an affiliate marketer/internet marketer remain anonymous?
Or is it best to put your real name on everything you do?
2-Does a noobie need to learn allot of html/web design?
3-What is the #1 tip on avoiding being scammed?
Thanks.

I believe that it is best not to be anonymous since it makes the customer more at ease. Shows that you are not trying to hide behind your advertisment or sales ad. Alot of people will even put a picture and signature on thier sales ad. Therefore I dont the affiliate should hide either.
Second off it is not completely necessary to learn html and sell as an affiliate. You can use such things as safelists but they are not good for much unless you have a product that appeals to a wide variety of people. Free classifieds will work to but they usally wont get you mass amounts of exposure. It is very benifitial to have your own site thought. You can always go and pay someone to make you a site but it would have to be updated fairly freqenty. If you dont have time to learn html, javascript, ect.. you can always just learn how to make a site with a wysiwyg page maker. This will basically what a lot of product owners thierselves do since many dont know how to do it.
For the third question it depends on what you mean a little more detailed. If it is about getting scammed by the person who owns the product you are selling. First off I would recommend a site like clickbank.com that will do all of the work for the both of you the product owner by accepting the payment taking its fees and distributing the remainder according to what the comission is atm as well as doing all of the mediation involved in the sale. If you do want to use a independant affiliate system you should never have to pay to join it. You should also never be required to display thier logo on your site. Not to common but I heard of it. Also be careful and read over the legal info involved some will only pay you quarterly, you deal with all mediation with the customer, ect...
Hope this helps,
