Choose a Product within a category that you know the most about. You will be suprised of how many products are connected to your hobby .

Then you will need a domain name. I buy all my domains from Godaddy as its very easy to use and to configure the forwarding feature.

Make sure your domain is relevant to the product or service that you have chosen to promote as an affiliate so it makes you look more professional.

Login to godaddy, go to Domain Manager, Tick your domain and navigate to the forwarding option at the top. The add your affiliate hoplink from clickbank within the field and submit.

Remember not to mask your domain, just forward it. If you mask it, the cookie required to track your sales will become disabled and you will not get credited for the sale which would make your affiliate marketing useless.

Now you will need to wait for the changes in godaddy to propergate throughout the internet and then your ready to rock.

Just simply advertise your new domain on relevant forums, google groups, article websites, classified adverts and Social Networks to make some commissions. You can find these by searching on google.
