I am still looking for a good way to start attract affiliates )) I would like to sell hosting. And affiliate campaigns are perfect way to attract customers. But for now I have only click bank in my pocket and it still did not approve my market place. So, I am still on the way. May be I can write a script to support affiliates via PayPal... I do not know. But any way, I suppose I will find a good way. This is just a matter of time...

Linda I appreciate your committment and dedication to education of those of us taking the plunge. I believe I have learned more in the last week in this forum than in 2 years of dabbling previously.

James you are right on target with your comment. It is so easy to get distracted like a kid in a candy store. Find a system that works and then use it to expand but also keep evolving.

I have to do some more research because I am not too sure on how to use CMS when creating sites.

Thanks to all for the knowledge and experience sharing.

I am a newbie and right now I am thanking everything in the universe that I did not spend some of the colossal fees out there for Affiliate Marketing Courses/E-Books , this forum is really great!! And I have to say Jeremy Palmer's free ebook really helped me too.

I can see what everyone means about trial and error and the learning curve, I started a blog as a practice run, it's completely free and you can do Google Adsense (at least in Blogger) and most important I got the chance to play with content and design. It's only been 5 days and I've all ready discovered about 5 mistakes I made and learned about 40 new things, just from the blog activity--of course I haven't left the computer for about 30 hours straight...but that's cool, I like it here.
I can see what everyone means, I can read a million instruction manuals, e-book, but in this biz the true expertise comes from doing

Darwin, always happy to help!

genuwine4532, so glad you are finding the info here helpful.
And you're really right, you just need to jump in, roll up your sleeves and start doing it. The best education you can get it this business is to try, fail, learn from it and then try again!

I know that a big way that affiliates make a lot of money is by creating an opt in list. It is a lot of work (I know because I am in the middle of creating one). But it gets you a huge customer base on autopilot.
