Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make money but a hard thing to do. It looks like it should be easy but from my experience it is not. I have been at it for 5 years now and am not finding that it is that simple.

I have tried PPC but did not know what I was doing at the time - I was a total newbie and lost my shirt several times over. I am more cautious now about what I promote using PPC.

Bum Marketing, or the use of free sites such as Squidoo and Hubpages is also a way to promote your offers. Here is one on an affiliate marketing coaching product that will be going live June 2d, at 3PM EST.

The promotion cited in the above paragraph was easily put together using a word processor and uploaded to one of these free sites. Then all you need to do is ping your site and use the social bookmarking services to get it listed in the search engines.

You don’t need to know anything special to to make these types of sites and you don’t need to spend any money to promote them. I prefer the Bum Marketing method over other promotion methods.

You will find that sometimes a combination of promotion methods will do the trick. It varies from campaign to campaign as to what works best.

It all takes monitoring what you are doing and adjusting your campaign to meet whatever the current situation is. You cannot just sit back and rake in money in my experience. It takes a little more work than that!
