Making money online is among the sweetest businesses of the XXI century. There are yet plenty of opportunities, and new are still to emerge with the rise of new audience needs and desires.

Affiliate marketing is certainly one of the most perspective solutions with great potential for serious income. If you own a website, generating good volume of traffic or a long targeted in some niche e-mail list, you are ready to go into the deep and test yourself with affiliate marketing. Me personally, I started 2 years ago as I am running a popular website for online sports betting – Soccerstat.net and I decided to try generating additional cash, monetizing my ad space.

I made my thorough research on the web to get an idea on the basis of this business. I was excited with the success stories of so many marketers that I wanted to start right away. The first thing that I did, was to examine the products, offered by the largest companies and try to figure out which ones I could promote on my website. I registered as a publisher with Lidango, MediaTrust and CXDigital, where I found some great offers for products, relevant to my website content and, very important – my audience. My most successful campaigns were the ones made with Lidango, promoting diet and health products and other online betting products.

I would not say that it was easy to convert from the very beginning, but I was very lucky to have several important advantages to get me to a quick start:

The visitors of my website were coming with their money – they were coming to bet and were ready to spend some money on another interesting product too
Big part of sport-fans – that were my visitors, were conscious of their body shape and health and therefore target audience of the health and fitness products. Lidango always had great offers and rates for these products
Big part of my users was ready to bet in another online game, once succeeding in soccer betting
Each user had to fill a standard registration form to subscribe to my website and therefore I had the e-mail address. It allowed me to build a long, targeted mail list and start e-mail marketing as well. Lidango has some great creatives for e-mail marketing that convert very well and I have always used them for my e-mail campaigns

After I have started as an affiliate marketer, I have managed to double my income in just few months. I recommend to anyone who is considering the opportunity, to research the market seriously, decide which niche to target and look for the best offers. My experience shows that I earn the most with Lidango, as they give me almost double commissions for the products I promote, although my advice is to join several networks. Lidango has always given me very high rates and has great diversity of quality advertisers and creatives that convert.
