Many people are lured to be an affiliate marketers because they have set up a website. This approach to affiliate marketing is a short sited one.
First, they do not know what they want to sell. It is because there is lack of research before hand. Doing reseacrch online is the most important step, more important than setting up a website. You must research to find out what people are looking for in the Internet. That's where the buyers are, and therefore where the money is.
Don't make this mistake.
If you already have a website or a blog and getting no where to find your visitors, you are stucked!
You may earn some money to cover your expenses, but you are getting now where.
So how do you find a good affiliate program? How do you know if it's going to earn you money or if it's going to be a total waste of money and time?

A lot of people join affiliate programs because they've bought a product and they like it so much that they believe that product has the potential to be a worldwide success story.
So they join the business.
But how does this relate to your personal web site?

For the large majority of web sites, the answer is "No". People have come to believe that text link ads are normal on a web site, and so much so that they simply ignore them.
Building mailing lists and sending tons of sales copies and newsletters used to work at some point. Now they don't or at least they don't work as well as they used to. Don't get me wrong, I still build mailing lists because I would never give up any source of income, but I know they alone won't guarantee me any money.
A good marketing move is to make the most of the seasonal promotions and advertise your business to as many people as possible.
Offline advertising is a very powerful tool if you use it right. Let's say you have a Xmas promotion. You can send with every package a few printed Christmas cards with a nice picture on one side and the address of your web site and a few words about your business on the back of the card. Let your customers send your holiday cards around and promote your business!

C-T-P-M approach is proven to work very well no matter how the future of the Internet become. It is because online searchers and visitors are still human being. They look for your content.
