So you want to start an affiliate marketing business?

You probably have heard that there is a lot of money to be made in affiliate marketing and you would be correct in that assumption.

The problem is that so much information is available that you end up with information overload. This article is an introduction to a series that will include affiliate marketing tips that are designed for the beginner.

I have decided to do this because I am a teacher at heart and I found it very frustrating that many successful internet marketers assume that you know a lot more than you do.

I do not believe they intentionally leave things out to drive us crazy just that they have been in the game for so long they forget they were newbies once too.

I tell you this because this series of articles will not be for you if you have been around the industry for a while. They were designed for those that are new to the affiliate marketing.

In other words I will hold your hand and guide you through easy step by step instructions to get your internet business up and running and give your affiliate marketing business a leg up on becoming a success.

These six easy steps that will be discussed over the coming week or two are:

1. Discover how to become a Click-bank affiliate and get your unique affiliate ID
2. Discover how to research products that will sell themselves
3. Discover how to decide if a plug and play service is right for you
4. Discover how this simple trick can help you get traffic by picking the correct domain name
5. Discover how to set up a hosting account
6. Discover how to set up a WordPress blog

Step one will be covered in detail tomorrow with the next five steps discussed over the next week or two. The business of affiliate marketing is a lot of fun. I know I have had a great time with it. The one thing I could have done without is the frustration.

I sincerely hope that this little series of articles allows you to have all the fun and none of the frustration.
