This is a great question, Yolanda! You are definitely on the right track and I like the way you think!
My number one recommendation would be to use your CONTENT to promote your affiliate links. Making recommendations, offering product reviews, or writing "how-to" articles including resources (your affiliate links) is the best way to market your affiliate programs.
Quick Tips For Affiliate Programs
I bought a lot of ebook about affiliate programs or how to make money online. The examples are: get pay for surveys online, data processing online, eBay reselling, Google adwords, affiliate programs, reselling CD roms, rewriting ebooks. All of above programs are great ideas. Great ideas cant generate any income by themselves unless people use them.
I tried to follow these get-rich-quick programs. I never succeeded as the writers boasted. However, I do make additional income besides my full time job every month.
Every affiliate marketer must have a realistic goal. Don t quit your job befor ..
Obviously you want to be completely honest, and also only promote programs you feel are beneficial to your targeted market... and these tactics are the key to your affiliate marketing success!
You'll really enjoy the Affiliate Masters Course by Ken Evoy.
You can get it - no cost to you, by email or ebook, here: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/affiliatesuccess.htm
Are you taking notes? I just made a personal recommendation to you! I am an affiliate for Ken Evoy's products... I love them and use them myself, so I KNOW this is what you need right now to help you move to the next step... so my recommendation is honest and sincere. The actual product (ebook or ecourse) I am recommending doesn't cost anything. BUT if you like the information, and if you like Ken Evoy's 5 Pillar Affiliate Program (I personally think it would be perfect for your targeted market!), then you'll sign up for the program... under me... (still no cost to you!) so its a win/win for both of us! You'll learn valuable information and start making *great* commissions... and I will make referral commissions (as it's a two-tiered program).
Here's more great affiliate information, and you'll find my direct link to sign up for the SiteSell affiliate program (Ken Evoy's 5 Pillar Club) at the bottom: http://www.selfstartersweeklytips.com/5pillaraffiliate.htm

Making Money with Affiliate Programs
Who would have dreamed a day would come when you could select from millions of existing products or services and sell them for up to 75% of the profits. This is now possible with affiliate programs that allow you to sell other peoples products and take a big piece of the action. Basically they do all the hard work of creating a product, stocking it, shipping it and handling annoying customers while you simply do the marketing.
Affiliate programs are basically a business relationship between a merchant or service provider and affiliate partners who work together to promote a product or serv ..
Check out my other post on this board about the affiliate programs I have been making money with recently... you may find that some of those will work for you as well... and feel free to email me anytime (or post in the forum!) if you find a program you think I will like!
And THIS is how you become a successful affiliate marketer! You take the time to offer CONTENT around your programs, send out recommendations in your newsletter, or write articles around resources & products... and lets don't forget responding to emails and forum posts when others are looking for something specific... like you were!
I hope you enjoy the resources AND see this for the example it is... I wish you all the luck with your new site!
