Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I’m starting a web based business for a niche market and am looking for a cheap way to advertize. the site should soon gain international popularity if I can get the word out effectively.
I was thinking something like fb or twitter would be great, though I’m not really social media savvy myself.
The site should be popular among the niche since it’s free and useful.
Any insight?

can anyone compare these 2……………………pros and cons

Nutriset has an affiliate, Edesia, in Providence Rhode Island, so I learned a lot from their web site. SInce the 5th of Feb is World Nutella Day, a student in my office asked, so I do hope to get some responses that are not just frivilous.

In order to join an affiliate program with products or companies I like, I need a website and company name. I have just got a domain name and registered with a hosting site and I am looking into building my site. However, I am unsure of how to create a site or sites for affiliate marketing, because I don’t know what it ought to consist of. If for example it was a natural health product, could I only write an article about it with a picture and then join its affiliate program, or is there more to it than that? What sort of a site do you need to join an affiliate program? Thanks.

…can I use just this or would I also need to host my own website?

I really want to sell an affiliate website that I made. I already posted a post on craigslist, can i do it on ebay? If so, how?… What are some other good places to sell an affiliate site? If anyone has done this personally, how did you go about it? Like, were you open to what price the people were willing to pay, or did you have a certain price in mind? Was it a bid? Please help. Thanks!
