I have thought about affiliate sites ... but which ones are good ones and not scams?

**Lynn Terry** · July 11th, 2012

The ones you create yourself.

For example, my newest affiliate site is http://www.travelinglowcarb.com (discussed in the first link above).

Unless I misunderstood your question?

Gottcha .... Im just not thinking outside the box.

I was thinking you had to sign up at other affiliate sites and promote their stuff to get paid ... I like the idea of making something of my own . Thanx

Yes Allen, that is correct. You would pick a niche and then find products to promote. When someone clicks on them and makes a purchase, you make a commission.

Hi Allen there are 2 options sell your own stuff(something your passionate about) or sell other peoples stuff.
I am doing totally other peoples view www.giftswa.com

You do sign up to affiliate programs to promote specific products and services. But you choose which products and services based on the topic you select. See my link above on choosing a niche. ;-)

After you look over those links, I'm sure you'll have more questions. Just let us know!
