Affiliate marketing question - Should you join every affiliate
program you can find or just a few'
There are many thousands of affiliate programs on the net that

the scatter gun approach, which is quite popular on the net, and
join as many programs as possible. This ensures that at least

The other alternative is to take the shot gun approach. Join
some leading affiliate programs in just a few areas and put more
effort into each one. Do some affiliate marketing research by
reading as many articles on the subject as possible. This way
you can narrow down your candidates.
Well, as always there are pros and cons to both but why not do
what everyone else is not doing. It seems to me most sites are
taking the scatter gun approach. For example: We have 3,000
affiliate programs listed on our site. We have the largest

Why not focus' Find your own niche. Find a particular area that
you are interested in.
Example: Perhaps your interest is in selling rare papyrus from
Egypt and you find there is only one affiliate program dedicated

on this product. You are not thinking about selling papyrus from
Egypt one minute and then long distance phone calls the next.
