I was in a bar with a girl and she told me about that and I started researching in google, then found an interesting forum in my country about affiliate marketing, which helped me to start.
 


There was a short thread on NamePros from some guy who made a couple of hundred bucks with a mortgage offer. Sounded a lot better than the 3 dollars a month I made parking my crappy domains...
 
After WarriorForum I thought Internet Marketing was about scamming each other so I paused for 6 months,

LOL! That's what I thought too. Sell other people's ebooks as if it made you super rich! When I built my first site, I immediately went to clickbank to get an account and start selling them ebooks!
 
mubinahmed.com. Started reading the blog cause i was sick of working in retail, and have continued to learn ever since.
 
Lol.. True story i was lookin at porn one day lol
Saw a link that say "webmasters make money " .. I thought i was a webmaster and so i clicked it thought i could make some money and the rest is history......
 
I'd like to know how some of you first heard about the field of affiliate marketing? for many, it appears like they first started out as computer programmers and were already exposed to this idea of using the internet as an outlet for commerce.

However, what if you are not a programmer? when did you first hear about affiliate marketing and what steps did you take that lead you to success?

I'm not a 100% sure what I was searching for now, but it might have been porn because I stumbled across GFY nearly two years ago and was instantly captivated :eek:

I did some porn marketing for about 6 months then after an Adwords slap decided to try some mainstream and that was what really took off for me. I still make a few bucks from the porn sites I haven't touched in over a year though. Can't beat the revshare option and sweet sweet rebills!
 
started first running myspace sites and made some decent money. got tired of the myspace sites / social networking sites and started reading some blogs. found wicked fire. launched my firts campaign 3 months ago. A ringtone offer. made a few bucks and launched my 2nd campaign making a profit too.

im at my 3rd campaign right now and still on the profit zone. :) but Im having some trouble finding more profitable campaigns and I feel stuck......
