Affiliate marketing and list building go hand-and-hand with another another. What I mean is that people who are successful with affiliate marketing have blogs/niche sites. People that have niche sites will typically build an e-mail list, which acts as an additional stream of income (besides the traffic that coverts into sales that comes from the search engines). Additionally, the use of social media has become a standard part of a marketer's online portfolio. Paid advertising methods like PPC are optional. You don't have to use them to make money - know a lot of successful people who don't. If you're going to, your site should be making money using free traffic methods first (let's you know if you are on the right track and can cover the costs of advertising).

People who make a lot of money using adsense are either a Youtube partner, or they run sites that get a ton of traffic. You shouldn't use adsense on a site where you're doing affiliate marketing - sends traffic away from your site. When it comes to offering services, I'd say that being a ghostwriter and/or writing content for other sites and getting paid for said content is probably the most popular. Everyone needs content. You might want to check out Writer Help Wanted by Ron Douglas and Alice Seba (came out just last year) for more on this. When it comes to offering coaching services, you really have to have established yourself as a leader in your niche.

There are 2 things that helped me make money

1)Correct guidance ,I have been very grateful to be mentored by of the great marketers ,now they are buddies
2)My ability to take risks and Massive Action ,I have never been shy to try out new things

It will be an honor to contribute some of my knowledge here

For Me ,List building has been my greatest strength ,I always focus on getting new subs daily ,Even if you get 5 its ok but you need to get them ,Treat your list as real people and provide massive value they will like you for that

There are other forms of advertising with fancy names(Like PPC,PPV,etc.etc) ,Ultimately it Comes down to getting people to see your offer

Let me know if anyone has any questions

I start in affiliate marketing space and make a loot of money.
When i started i was first pushing affiliate products all over the online and i was not making any money in first few months i loos a loot of money .
After few years i fond myself a mentor and start following him step by step and he told me to position myself above others
HOW? To create myself custom landing page and build funnel for the product i'm promoting and then drive traffic to landing page so i was building email list and that thing change everything.

My best traffic sources:
Solo ads
PPC (pay per click)
Banner media

In which niche you are what kind of things you are selling on your website?
With solo ads you don't need much experience its newbie friendly but Important You need to control the message to market you need when you buy solo ad ask the person who sell you solo ad to prove that he or she send out the exact message that you give to them or ad copy because many of them will send out something else and over promise to people and when they hit your page they are not targeted and they will not convert
