Guys I have come upon the idea of affiliate marketing recently. The idea seems to be quite good. Many affilate marketers are there. You have many companies when it comes to affiliate marketing. But those bloggers who want to publish on their blog amazon has the widest range of products.

Now comes the benefits of affiliate marketing:

1. Anyone witha blog can post product guides or reviews.

2. Also you do not have to sell the products physically. The amazon website will handle all of the shipping and charges.

3. You have many link options like links, image only and text and image links. If you have a blog then image links convert well.

4. Also sidebar is a good place on a website or your blog for posting the image links.

On the downside amazon specifically have many disadvantages:

1. The commision rates are too low. You should get enough sales to make anything. Only 5% is yours to keep.

2. Also they may cancel your account if you fail to sell within 3 months.

In this post I have only pointed out amazon as a reference company. Many sites like clickbank doesn’t give you so much flexibiolity as choosing or displaying on your blog the bestsellers or latest products in niche.

So have you tried amazon . Please let me know in comments.How are you doing with them.
