To be a successful affiliate, seek out niches that are not obvious – ignore Internet marketing for a start, as it is far too competitive. Even the sub-niches within that category are difficult to make money in. What you need are good niche affiliate marketing programs.

There are a number of highly-competitive areas you would do well to ignore, such as cars or autos, dieting, mortgages, real estate, and weight loss unless you can find a little sub-niche in there that is being ignored. One way of doing this is to invent a new diet; almost anything will do, if it has not been done before, but you might need a lot of money to get it going!

Other places are known to offer affiliate marketing strategies for a small fee but it is usually worth it because they know what they are doing and are willing to help you out too.
One could research each and every day, for hours at a time and still need to keep researching. This is because affiliate marketing is only a successful venture when you have the drive that is needed for success. Another element that is vital to the success of an affiliate marketer is also part of the many affiliate marketing strategies and that is the usage of scripts. Scripts are small programs that often make a big impact in a positive, revenue generating way. They are also great to help manage and analyze your affiliate activities.
Some scripts can manage your affiliate links in a single area and that same script can allow you to enter all of the product’s information and it will produce a unique link that is connected to your affiliate account. Other scripts work great as affiliate marketing strategies because they help to generate the right types of keywords and relevant ads while rotating them as well. Scripts and other software designed for affiliate marketing businesses are a necessity in the affiliate earnings industry and any professional will agree.
Finding a directory that offers plenty of affiliate marketing strategies in one area, hopefully in a form that is useful and easy to navigate, can also help but it is more for getting advice from others and their tips and hints. Fortunately, this industry strives on tips, hints and leads to find the right audience for their affiliate marketing strategies and links to be displayed to. In fact, all it really takes to be successful at working from home by earning affiliate-based revenue is to be smart and apply strategies. Well thought out plans and making sure that all of those actions follow the rules of the search engines that essentially run the internet are a plus.
It would be wrong for someone to believe the majority of customers that claim they can be working from home doing little to nothing at all because it simply isn’t true. There are plenty of things to research and to learn about and if you truly want to be successful, you will devote several weeks to fully researching. Also, it would be wise to use many affiliate marketing strategies and take your time getting to know the world of affiliate earnings. This way, you will be sure within your mind, and your wallet, that this venture will be nothing but profitable.

I’ve lost money on many scams trying to locate a legitimate home-based work opportunity, no pyramids, affiliates, clickbank, residuals or MLMs, but real work, and no up-front money to buy useless lists of so-called companies, then take the money and give nothing in return. No schemes or scams promising earnings of thousands of dollars a day or week for 5 hours of work,then delivering nothing. I want to work and be paid, not to pay and never work because of the dishonesty of people preying on others, pretending to be, or have access to, legitimate business opportunities.
I received some good replies, but wanted to apologize for the wording of my question. I thought I’d added the following, that I’m interested in working from home answering calls for companies but was definitely not interested in sales or telemarketing. I did have that information added somewhere in my question but I have no idea what happened to it.

http://www.workathomeagent.com/ is a web address left by one person and it seems to be legitimate, and is from a company seeking people to work from home for businesses, answering questions, in a customer service setting, using the Internet and a PC. This is exactly what I had in mind so I will look into that company, but in the meantime if anyone else has any other links to companies such as this, please leave the information here. A great big thanks to all who’ve taken their precious time and have already left answers. You’re wonderful!
