Affiliate Marketing Programs

Getting started in Affiliate Marketing?
Could someone who actually has had experience with several different affiliate marketing programs tell me which one works best, and how to get started & running it tips?
I use the following – they are all free to sign up:
http://www.amazon.com – click the link at the VERY bottom of the main page that reads “Join Affiliates”
http://cj.com – Commission Junction
http://www.shareasale.com – Shareasale
http://www.linkshare.com/ – LinkShare
Of these, I have done the best with Commission Junction, and then Amazon. It might have a lot to do with the nature of my site (art portraits, drawing) and that I have drawing books linked. Most of my income from Commission Junction came from Dick Blick art supply links.
It’s pretty easy to integrate, but don’t try to do a site that is only affiliate links, it must have content to support it and bring the traffic in. The things/companies you link must also have something to do with what’s on your site in general.
I can also tell you that whenever you can set the affiliate displays up so they complement some of the colors on your site but don’t fully match your site’s background, they do better.
I don’t know anyone who’s gotten rich doing affiliate marketing – I get perhaps $40 per Quarter from Commission Junction, and perhaps $25 per Quarter on average from Amazon. But considering it’s all ‘found’ money – didn’t cost anything to get started and I didn’t have to ship out anything, it’s pretty nice. Can’t complain!
I have found that if you concentrate on mainly working with only one or two of the affiliate organizations to begin with, you will be able to maximize the sales enough to get a check. (with most there has to be a minimum amount earned per quarter in order for you to receive payment).
Many of the Affiliate Companies have forums or message boards and you can learn a lot there from experts.
Hope this helps, good luck!
