Step 1 – I suggest before you become a marketing affiliate, you should find a supportive community to join that will help nurture and teach you the basic skills, terminology, and techniques. There are quite a few out there. I chose to work with Chris Farrell due to his growing high profile, track record of affiliate success, and friendly active forums. He just keeps introducing new videos and great content everyday. Now affiliates can make an online income, not with just from their own knowledge, but from the knowledge that everyone contributes as well. Wow. Now you should really go and check out the ebooks, videos, and other tutorials that is available.

Step 2 – After you begin, you can learn to link a few articles that you write to feeder sites that are provided to you after joining. Then you send articles to directories to help let the world know you are there and that you want new members to join under your link.

Step 3 – This is the cool part that help keep you involved and not quite after two or three months of running in circles. If you can find and encourage two wonderful people to join under you, then you will receive commission from them that will cover your membership cost. Now you are marketing online for free. How you may ask? Let me tell you how. You new commission pays your fees and your membership includes webhosting and all of the marketing tools you should need to succeed. Plus you get a nice education from the detailed training programs that is also included.

Step 4 – Now you have just started, but with three easy steps, you became a marketing affiliate and from commissions you are now making money online. Now lets see if we can lock in your success by helping someone else. If you know the affiliates that signed under your link, it would be beneficial to try your best to get them at least two affiliates each under them as well. Why do you want to help them out in the first place,right? Wrong! If your marketing affiliates are not making money online then they will probably leave soon. If that happens at this point, then you will not be marketing for “free”. So, by helping them recruit a few good men, they will see monthly income just like you do. Did I mention the fact that their sponsored affiliates contribute a few extra bucks per month to you as well? Its true. So you help your affiliate team embers, they help out theirs, and so on.

Conclusion – Alright. At this point you have not begun marketing any products yet. Or have you? Chris Farrell membership is a product within itself and you are doing excellent marketing for both the site and yourself. You have positive cash flow as long as steps 1-4 are intact. You helped your down stream and hopefully they help out theirs. You are now learning affiliate marketing for free, using free tools available to you, and you have web hosting (www.yoursite.com where yoursite is whatever you decide to name your domains). Just for an added bonus, the unlimited hosting makes learning and creating many of your own sites, very, very possible.

I hope that I was able to help make things a little less overwhelming as you begin your journey to making money online.
