It is up to you but I like playing the game with the step by step guides that
help me work it to the best of my ability..SEO (blogging) can work just as
well as CPC's with more conversions in the long run.....but if you are
looking for a list upfront then ....keyword research is your friend. If you
need help figuring out all of this let me know would be happy to shoot over
some information that has been helpful for us on blogging and marketing :)

Before you opt into any affiliate marketing you should understand some fact
before enter in this. Clear in mind in this types of marketing success
depends on you and may you want to try something else.

Success on affiliate marketing depends on many different factors. Mainly, is
the niche you selected profitable and broad enough for you to attract enough
visitors?

Secondly once you find a niche, you need to select a proper long tail keyword
that allows you to rank high on the search engines without having to compete
directly with more established websites.

Success is mainly determined by your ability to choose the right niche and
keyword combination, which can be done by conducting extensive research. You
must also be prepared to constantly provide value to your visitors by
regularly adding content.

I would also advise against using PPC to promote your site unless you are
already a complete expert, as you will see that your funds will quickly get
used up without much results.

Affiliate marketing for beginners can be quite challenging. If you are
successful, you are able to make a lot more money with it than AdSense. You
can run a PPC campaign for affiliate products, but until your Pay Per Click
project makes your first sale, you'll never know if you will have a good
conversion rate. It all comes down to your keyword research and your bids.
All in all, affiliate marketing is absolutely an awesome way to earn a
passive income online. I recommend you diversify your income portfolio and go
with AdSense, affiliate marketing, CPA, etc and use SEO, PPC, social media,
and everything you can to promote your campaigns.

Your conversion rate from PPC marketing and your success with affiliate marketing is going to depend on many factors, including the landing page, the offer, and even whether the merchants whose affiliate links you promote have an 800 number on their landing pages. In addition to the two forums above, I'd suggest following the AffiliateSummit blog.
