There are dozens of accounts of successful affiliates who have journeyed from rags to riches and the stories continue to multiply, but what about the vast amount of affiliates who fail to generate enough income to pay for web hosting?

This article will talk about some simple affiliate marketing strategies that can be implemented to keep from experiencing the pitfalls that others have found themselves struggling with.

One of the first things that a beginner affiliate needs to be aware of is that not all affiliate programs are created equal and unless you control a large amount of instant traffic, it may not be worth the time and effort to promote.

It’s so easy to get caught up in what the possibilities for a specific program might be, but if there is no solid documentation or evidence that other marketers are turning any real profit from promoting a certain program it may be best to move on.

Time is a precious commodity that seems to fly by when you’re striving to promote an affiliate offer or any offer on the net, so it’s important not to get sucked into time traps like promoting programs that don’t produce income.

An additional strategy that affiliates can use to get the most for return for their efforts is to start developing a subscriber list.

Having your own list of subscribers gives you an instant traffic advantage that you otherwise would not have available to you unless you decide to pay for it.

Most affiliates who start out promoting other people's products online, work at sending all of their hard earned traffic to a program that either doesn’t generate a positive return on investment or worse yet converts that traffic into subscribers for the product owner to cash in on over and over again with future promotions.

Finally it’s critically important to do some market research to make sure that the market you've chosen to promote to is interested in what the product has to offer.

Affiliates that struggle to make any money online are typically trying to offer a product to a market that is not interested in it and end up spending more time trying to convince rather recommend.
