One of the things that I usually get asked about making money online is: “How do I find an affiliate program to use and make money from?”

With the masses of affiliate programs and services out there, I can imagine how difficult the process might be, especially if you’re just starting out with affiliate marketing. In fact, I must admit that I don’t know everything that there is to know about this. It’s such a huge world!

But, thankfully, I have had enough success with affiliate programs to see some steady flow of cash coming from the affiliate relationships that I have. And, having put in the initial effort of finding the right ones that will work for me and my site/s, I am able to see the financial benefits.

So, I thought I’d create a series of short tips for those of you who might be interested in looking in this direction of making money online.

And yes, my first tip is: Look at Where You Shop Online!

When finding the right affiliate program, it’s always good to promote a product or service that you have already used yourself. Especially if it’s something that you liked. After all, it’s easier to say nice things about products and services that you’ve tried and enjoyed, right?

In my own attempts at using affiliate programs to make money online, I found that I’ve made the most money from those that I am able to endorse. That’s why I very rarely get in to affiliate relationships that I only heard about and never really used.

Therefore, I encourage you to have a look at the things that you enjoy buying online and the shops that you buy from. Do they have an affiliate program that you can sign up for?

Also, don’t just look at the popular affiliate programs ones like Amazon. I must say that while I continue to use Amazon, the bulk of my affiliate income comes from lesser-known sites and services.

So go ahead and watch what kind of things you buy online. Do you enjoy buying books, shoes, electronic gadgets…? See if you can sell those same items through an affiliate program. And yes, take note of those shops where you enjoy buying items from. Which shops are they? See if they run an affiliate program that you can use.
