    how to start affiliating

    Hi to everybody!

    I am new to this forum, I am in the process of building my website and have a question, I would like to join affiliate programs, I already have a list to some of the ones that I want to join, so they have this signup sheet where you put all your information and website. My question is this: Will they want me to place their links even though I have not started my website yet?(I am asking this because some need to approve your application, so I'm guessing they take a look at your website first.) You see I want to be able to have the link first and then begin building my website, is this how you do it? Or do you first add some content to website with no affiliate links until after they see that you are running a website? I would appreciate any comments, Thank you.

    You can be approved for an affiliate program without any content on your site. Just provide them with the domain name that is registared under your name and give them a email address from that domain name.

    You should be approved. Althought some affiliate programs are diefferent than others.

    Hope that helps.

    you can also check out ClickBank.com if you haven't already - there are a bunch of programs that you can promote; you do not need to have any links up before you decide to promote any program.

    If you like Survey Sites, Check out the one in my Signature. Treasure Troopers is one of the best survey/affiliate sites around.
    Check out my Myspace Site and invite me to be your friend.

    TreasureTrooper.com for a great affiliate/offers site that pays $15-30 per hour.

    I dont get how they work. You provide Commission Junction (or whoever) with a site and then what?

    Good Luck!

    And then they allow you to become an affiliate. They will give you a special link that looks like this one for example:

    https://www.hostexcellence.com/cgi-b...?id=theideaman

    now anytime someone goes to that site through that link and purchases the product, I get a commission. Like 75% of the sale.

    Most people will disguise the affiliate link like this:

    Host Excellence

    but if you hold your curser over that link and look at the bottom of this page you will see it is the same affiliate link. If you were to go to that site and buy one of their hosting packages, I would make money.

    Hope that helps,

    does the link you provided me replace your website?
    Is there anyway to hide your referral #/info? (avoiding ppl to see why holding the cursor over)
    Can you choose what type of business you want to be affiliated with? (website hosting, ebooks, etc)?
    can you sign up for me than one?

    with CJ.com and clickbank you choose the sites that you want to promote and for CJ.com they "mask" the links so it looks like oijo.com/isjdoas7687d - so it does not look like an affiliate link at all.

    I'm not sure there is a BEST affiliate program, they each have their ups and downs you just have to do some research on your own a pick out which one you like the best.

    Personally, I am about to start promoting a Forex affiliate program. As Fighterspirit said, very high profits.
