If you want to make a sustained online income with affiliate marketing, you'll need to automate both the front end and the back end offers. Following are a few proven secrets to ensure that you'll be effortlessly earning affiliate commissions while you sleep... 1. Research and determine the best affiliate products and associated affiliate programs which best fit your target market and that will enable you to earn the most amount of money for the least amount of effort in the shortest amount of time. You want to make sure that the "affiliate vendor" (if they manage their own program) or the affiliate network (who offers a variety of affiliate vendor products) has a reputation for paying affiliates on time with an easy method for affiliates to register (get their affiliate ID/link), track their progress (clicks, sales, etc), and get paid (ie: direct deposit into a paypal account versus receiving a check).

An example would be marketing a gardening tool with an associated "how to grow the fattest, juiciest apples" digital ebook.

For the most income possibilities, you try to have a mix of "one time cost" and "monthly recurring charge" products that relate to your desired market. You should also plan to promote additional products to those that have purchased from you, be sure that the affiliate network you chose has a variety of "related" products you can introduce. Since people usually purchase more than one product on a subject they are excited about, this will ensure a continuing stream of money from your initial marketing efforts. Although you can transparently sell products to your market from a variety of affiliate networks at the same time, it will be less stressful on you and your ability to efficiently handle your affiliate tasks if you have as few affiliate vendors and/or affiliate networks to manage as possible. 2.
