There are many program and memberships online that will teach anyone about how to set up an affiliate marketing campaign.
One thing that's very important is to make sure you collect emails before sending the person to an affiliate site.
The reason for that is so you can work on building your business just like you're helping the owner or the affiliate program.
You need to pick a program that you feel good about. Good enough that you can write articles about.
You can use web2.0 sites like squidoo, hubgages to write your articles.
Make sure your articles are benefit laced not features. People buy benefits which appeal to the emotions.
Then, just work on driving traffic to the pages and collect names.
So, with that said, you're going to need an autoresponder and you're ready to start after you've picked your affiliate program.
Oh, take your time and just work on 1 at time. Make that one profitable before going to another.
*one mistake people make is not focusing.
Oh, study copy writing. Search yahoo or google for copywriters to learn how to write compelling articles.
Test everything and track everything. Marketing is math not guess work.
Good Luck,
Adamsom
