    Affliate Web Site

    You will need to track referrals as they come in, your agents will need a secure area where they can check their stats. You will need to supply photos of the product as well a description of the product.

    Check out the competition and see how they do it, also go to the following web sites

    Good Luck

    I am wondering here and there, already read more than 50 post on internet but couldn’t found any reasonable information that guide me from zero to at-least 60%.
    I think this become worst as I search more and more and I became frustrated.

    You can also consider running your affiliate program through clickbank, they are the biggest online, you won't have to get your hands dirty they do it for you.

    Before getting into affiliate marketing you will need to decide on few things.

    1) Choosing Niche :
    Make sure you choose a niche which is not very competitive and you can fetch traffic from that particular niche for your campaign to survive. If you're just starting our on SEO make sure you choose a pretty easy one and then scale it up.

    2) Select a right affiliate program :
    Choose a right affiliate program which pays higher commission and at the same time converts good enough. You don't want to promote a product which pays a high commission but are not good enough when it comes to conversions. Sites like , Clickbank, CJ, Shareasale, Google affiliate network are some big players.

    3) Get a aged domain from go-daddy auction :
    It ranks better and easier and you will have to work a bit lesser. Not sure how to do it then you need to learn about it. Ensure you buy a good domain within the niche you selected.

    4) Quality Content :
    Be genuine and write correct reviews about the products, if you will tell the truth you will convert more and vice versa. Build confidence amongst your visitors and you will see a good conversion rate for your campaigns.

    5) You will need hosting:
    Stick with a good host like Hostgator, Eleven2. I recommend Eleven2.

    6) Promoting Your Site:
    Its very important to promote your website, try to become an authority in whichever niche you want to promote. You don't want to be a small site which produces few pennies a month.

    Scale it up and invest something into new venture and carry on till the time you become a Vendor.
