Essentially, an Affiliate is a salesman or a subcontractor, if you like. You enter into an agreement with an individual or company, to sell their product or service. They, in turn, provide you with a webpage with it's own unique we address, which identifies you. The company takes care of tracking your unique address, completes and delivers the product or service to anyone purchasing through your page, and makes sure the sale is credited to you. Your only job is to drive traffic to your affiliate sales page and collect the commissions.

Go to the Overture keyword tool. located here: http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ Put the main keyword or phrase into the search box and hit Go. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because your particular word or phrase has been searched for a Kazillion times that you've got a winner. If it has, chances are there are half a Kazillion other people marketing the same thing. You'll need to make another choice.

Once you've found something popular yet not too popular, you can go to your favorite search engine to see what programs are available. When you find a program you feel you'd like to try, don't forget to read the Terms and Conditions as well as the (FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions. Make sure the payout structure isn't one that is so high that you'll never see your money. 50% payout is pretty much the standard. If the cost of the product or service is high enough you can probably settle for less than 50%. Do the math and decide if it will pay you what you can live with.

(Here's a Tip. It takes as much effort to market a high priced item as it does a low priced item.) If you can comfortably agree with the Terms and Conditions then go ahead and sign up.
