Need some help getting started...

Ok, like everyone else, I have a great idea just need a little help. I am looking to start a new business that involves affiliate marketing (or network marketing?) I have a niche market where as I can sell products direct from manufactures and thru distributors. I hold no inventory. I want to sign up associates that would get their own site and store. These would be replicated sites. All activity would go directly to me from the store activity, but would be given credit to the associate that sold the item from their site. ANY and ALL advice you can give is appreciated. I am looking for someone to build the sites, legal information, etc. Thanks in advance!

I can give you a best suggestion. I don't think someone else would create a site for you and promote your product. Even if they do I think they would not be able to promote in the proper way. So I would suggest you to create a site which suits for your products. Register your site in any of the good affiliate and start promoting your product. You would surely make a great business.

Hi there

My advice would be the affiliate marketing programs you choose need to be related to your niche and complimentary to one another. This way, your internet marketing can accommodate all your affiliate products and not have to be unique to each one. Furthermore, your targeted website traffic will already be generally interested in the various offerings on your website or blog.

Other things you should look for in an affiliate marketing program are: quality products with money back guarantees, excellent customer service, high commission rates with low payout thresholds, well written sales pages to maximize conversion, and customer tracking for at least ninety days (preferably longer).
