Not planning to use an affiliate marketing program is one of the main reasons that most affiliates are not as successful as they could be.

In most cases that includes smart selection of affiliate product, appropriate affiliate pre-selling and creation of an effective affiliate marketing plan.

Choosing the right market to be an affiliate in is paramount to your online success. Creating a successful affiliate marketing program will require you spend some time in market research. I have personally found that you can get some good information using Google Trends or eBay. If your market lends itself to digital products (i.e. it should) then clickbank being one of the world's foremost market for digital products would be a great place to start by finding a number of products that would work for your niche. A great off-line marketing research method involves looking through magazines and taking note of what you see there since a lot of research has gone into product selection.

The next component in an effective affiliate marketing program involves product promotion. This requires you to decide on a system of repeatable processes that you will use to consistently promote the product or products that are in the niche you have chosen. Some of my favorite traffic generating methods include article marketing, forum marketing, pay per click (ppc) advertising and a number of other effective online marketing tools.
