Summary

Today's question comes from Mark, who has a question about where to go to find affiliate links when you're first starting out. If you don't have a big following or recognition in your niche, how do you discover affiliates? Do you launch with Amazon's affiliate program? Do you start with the products you trust? How difficult is it to get affiliate links for those products? In this episode, I mention Amazon Associates, which is an easy place to start for building affiliate income. You can learn more at https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/. If you want to learn more about how I built up an income through affiliate marketing, be sure to check out my free guide, Affiliate Marketing The Smart Way, at http://www.affiliatemarketingthesmartway.com/. In this episode, I talk about my niche site, Green Exam Academy, which you can find at http://www.greenexamacademy.com/.
