You have everything you need here right at your virtual fingertips to get started and be successful in your online business endeavours.

With a global marketplace of over 2 billion active internet users, the possibilities in this industry are nothing short on mind-blowing!

Even if you just wanted to study with Wealthy Affiliate and promote WA as your main or sole business model, it is very conceivable that you could ultimately make a fulltime income from it.

But why stop there?

There are so many great affiliate programs out there, and just about every interest you could think of would make a profitable niche. Most niches will have products you can promote as an affiliate.

In case you are wondering which affiliate programs you could sign up to, here is a brief list of some popular ones:

• Amazon Associates
• eBay Partner Network
• LinkShare
• Commission Junction
• ShareASale
• ClickBank
• Deal Guardian

The above are all umbrella affiliate companies; meaning they are a company that has a whole bunch of companies promoting products through them. Of course, sometimes the most lucrative affiliate programs are ones offered solo by the company themselves. Wealthy Affiliate is a great example. So don't limit yourself to the companies above. If you have a niche, search for companies that have products within your niche and check to see if they have an affiliate program. Often you will find a link for affiliates right down the bottom of the home page if they have an affiliate program.

If you've just started with affiliate marketing and Wealthy Affiliate, stick with it and see it through. Focus on going through all the training here one step at a time, build up one solid website and you can think about expanding your business from there. While building up your affiliate marketing business and learning the trade, consider some of these other options to bring in a bit of extra income at the same time.
