Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’ve been looking into it for quite some time now. It has always seemed like a viable and very lucrative personal business endeavour. Was most likely going to begin to branch out some sort of an advertising campaign with an incredibly successful affiliate network called Clickbank. So I’m just looking to do some really in depth research and find some helpful source of information to come by. Any experienced advice to point me in the right direction would be utmost appreciated!!!
