Smile What is the secret?

I may have asked this question before and if I have I am asking it again because I guess I didn't not get a satifactory answer. What is the secret to having a successful affiliate program business. I think I have tried twice, maybe three times at the affiliate business and each time I either failed or gave up because I could not sell anything. What steps should I take on having a successful affiliate business? Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Me too.
I tried the amazon affiliate program and made an estore. Made $0 sales.
I signed up at commission junction and started adding a lot of affiliate ads on my site. The only $$$ that I made were from stuff I bought myself through those ads.
For me, the best way to earn money online has to be through PPC ads.

Default Affiliate Programs

But ablaye,
PPC are so expensive. One has to really do their research and know what they are doing in order to compete in a PPC environment. People new to the network marketing arena, namely me, will not fare well. I am still trying to learn about PPC anyway, because I do agree with you, that once you get it, you can make a lot of money, but the key is getting there.

Be selective with the products. So just promote for the sake of promoting.

Get something that interest you.
Do a research on it.
Use free methods to promote the products (like classified ads) and to test your headlines.
Headlines is the wording that will attract people to click on your ad and further read your ad.
When you get successful with it, try it with PPC.
