See if you can find out any statistics on the offers made by the merchant, i.e., how much affiliates make on average. Also, be on the look out for any "tips and tricks" from merchants. Sometimes they will offer guidelines on how to earn cash from their products. </p> http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/topic/what-criteria-could-you-use-for-choosing-affiliate-programs#post-1330 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 07:28:29 +0000 SarahQT 1330@http://www.travel-writers-exchange.com/Forum/ <p>Ok, obviously I'd like to make some "real cash" from affiliate marketing. What criteria could we be looking for? I'm not going to pick a ton of programs just to see if I make some cash. I'd like to be discerning what it comes to affiliate marketing. Thanks! </p>
