Before You Start
Affiliate marketing is simply this: Getting paid for recommending other people's products. Imagine standing out on the street during lunch hour – with a sandwich board and a handful of brochures. Each brochure is stamped with your name. When a customer goes to buy a Jumbo Hot Dog, the owner sees that you recommended the customer ... and you get a commission.
Online, affiliate marketing works the same. You tell a friend about a product (1), they go to the sales page (2), a sale goes through (3), and the company sends you a commission (4).
Register For Your Affiliate ID
The easiest place to get started in affiliate marketing is ClickBank. This is a large affiliate program network for a variety of digital products. Here, you'll be dealing with a reliable network that makes sure you get all your commissions.
To register and get your affiliate ID, go to: http://newbietoolkitaffiliate.com/affiliate
In the top menu, click “Sign Up”.
Select your country (1) and enter your full name (2). Note: ClickBank pays you by cheque, and this is the name that they'll put on your cheques.
Fill out the address where you want your cheques sent (3). Then, for contact, give your name (4) and e-mail address and phone number (5). Note: ClickBank will be sending important information to this e-mail, so use your main address.
Create a “nickname”, which will be used in your affiliate links (6). Click “Submit” (7).
The next screen is important for verifying your application. Do not close it! Open another browser window and check your e-mail.
ClickBank will send you an e-mail with a confirmation code in it. Copy it and return to the previous browser window – the one with the ClickBank signup form in it.
Enter the confirmation code (1) and type in the Captcha characters that are showing on the screen (2). Click “Finish” (3).
Captcha Characters (n): These distorted characters are created to ensure that only humans – not automated programs – are able to register. If you can read the characters in the image, you are presumed to be human.

ClickBank will send you a cheque when your commissions exceed your payment threshold. You can determine what this threshold is.

Note: If you live outside North America, it will cost you a service fee to cash a ClickBank cheque, so it is a good idea to set a higher payment threshold. Note 2: This payment threshold can be changed again any time you want. As your monthly commissions increase, you may want to raise your threshold again.
Now, you're account is all set. In the top menu, click “Logout”.
