Web affiliate programs. Picking the right one can make you a fortune online. However, picking a dud can make you broke in a matter of days.

I’d like to help you pick the right kind of whether it’s being a music or travel affiliate, in the adult niche or health products. So let’s get started…there’s money to be made!

1. There are some great places where you can search for associate programs to promote. These include Clickbank, Commission Junction, AssociatePrograms, Linkshare. There are also other well known organisations that you can promote such as Amazon and eBay.
2. Once you’ve done some research to find a range of programs that sound good you need to take some time reading reviews of both the products and also the product owners for feedback.
3. Don’t ever promote a product that doesn’t come with a money back guarantee. If the owner doesn’t believe enough in his product then chances are that other people won’t either.
4. Try and be an affiliate for as many products that pay recurring commissions every month as possible. This way you only have to worry about the first sale and get paid every month thereafter.
5. Customer support is absolutely critical. Make sure all programs you support have really good customer support. Bad staff and delays in answering emails can result in nasty refunds that reduce your payments a lot.

I also recommend that when you are learning the ropes online that you find someone who will take you under your wing and help you as much as possible to avoid those costly mistakes. Follow one mentor and duplicate what they do and your success is assured.
