I know a lot of people search the net daily for a way to make money online. Lots of people are doing it, but many more try and fail. The good news is that I believe anyone can succeed, even if you are new on-line, and only learned how to turn on a computer last week. One of the best ways for anyone to make it on the internet is through affiliate marketing. The first thing you will need is training, but where is the best place to learn affiliate marketing for dummies?

Don't be offended by the term dummies, that's how we all start out in any new venture. If you go about the task in the correct way however your learning curve should be short. Here are the things to look for, and the things to avoid, when evaluating any training that you may be offered.

Steer clear of hype.

there is an awful lot of information available. Unfortunately a lot of it is absolute rubbish. One of the best ways for you to do this is look at the sales copy. Is it full of hype, does it make ridiculous promises. Phrases like make $10000 a day with no effort, and the like, should be avoided.

If it looks too good then..

You must have heard this saying "if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is." Keep this in mind when evaluating any service being offered. You can make money on the internet, but it is going to take time, and effort.

Ask others.

Once you have found some training you feel may be good for you, ask for other people's opinion of it. There are some great free forums dedicated to affiliate marketing, I suggest you join some, and search for any threads about the program you are interested in.

If you can't find one, start your own thread, and ask the members of your forum. I bet you will get some opinions offered. Take your time do your research, and you should be OK.

Beware of reviews.

Unfortunately many training courses that teach affiliate marketing have affiliate programs of their own. Many reviews you will find may be written by people who are affiliates of the course. The reviews from people who stand to get money from you may not be as impartial as they could be.

One thing you should look for is if the person doing the review is a member, or user of the course, but you should never take reviews at face value. Do your research before you part with any cash.

Good affiliate marketing training is available, and essential for anyone starting out in this business. However even though you may be searching for affiliate marketing for dummies, keep your eyes open, and be aware of what you are getting before you sign up.
