So my approaching to say anything about it is as much simple and easy as any newbie can understand what I am saying. On the other hand, I am always speaking for beginners those who are searching for learning about Affiliate Marketing.

From my end, my assumption is that those who are not spending times and efforts in Affiliate Marketing or have not completed any course on Affiliate Marketing before, it may take a lot of time for them to understand the technical mechanism that works behind affiliate marketing. 

If beginners could see the whole works step by step by practicing with their own hand, and could find the technical mechanism how it works behind affiliate marketing, they can measure job load and difficulties involve with affiliate marketing.  So, they will be able to proceed professionally.

Please note that this article is not for someone is reading on only. You must do the job whenever I suggest you in the article, you should do the practice along with. So, when you will have time enough to go through this article with practical exercise having a cool mind, then you can pay attention to it. It is an important thing I am saying.

First, you think, what is affiliate marketing? A simple answer is you will sell other's product or service on a certain commission and you will get paid when a sale will be completed. If you need answer widely, search on Google by what is Affiliate Marketing, you will get more clear ideas. If you want to dive into deeper, you can read Neil Patel' Article, my favorite writer on Affiliate Marketing;

Second, you have to find out a profitable Niche. Please remember, it is a very complex, hard and risky job in the affiliate marketing. The beginner may have a possibility to get the wrong turn! To find out a niche for using in this practice, we will go on with step by step.

Step one: Find the Category?

Here is a categories list I have taken it from ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace. Pick up one of them from here which one is best for you, then you will check it later whether it is profitable.

Now we will go to the next step. Think about what existing resource you already have that can make affiliate marketing easier and closer to you?

Suppose,

You are a graduate in accounting.

You are a manager of a restaurant being 5 years experiences.

Student life, your hobby was playing football.

Now, after getting married, your hobby turned into gardening.

Your family business is a sports goods retailing shop. When you were a student,  you had helped your parent there whenever you had got a few times. So,  you also have a little bit idea of selling sports goods.

So, we can find four basic experiences you already have to consider choosing an affiliate marketing  product or service as under

Accounting => Accounting Software => Online Accounting Software

Restaurant => Woven => Gas Oven

Sports goods => Football => Football and Accessories

Gardening => Home Garden => Home Garden Tools

Now you can choose any kind of good or service from above. Suppose, if you take academic background related product or service, you can write anything you want. You can understand anything you read. You can comment on any blog post or article. You also may be able to give an answer to any question. So, you can easily make convenience the people those who are searching for your product or service.

On the other hand, Industrial Electric Generator is a very high demand-able product, the sale amount is also high, because of that the commission will be high as well. But can you write anything about the generator you need without research? Can you easily understand whatever you read about it? So how you will be able to convince others to make a sale. Yes, it is possible, but it is too hard, very expert and professional can do this. So, this is the first step to check out what resources you already have from your own background to choose affiliate product or service.
