You'll want to consider the price of the product or service and the commissions paid on each sale. To marketing anything effectively you have to put in some effort. You may feel it's fine getting paid peanuts for clickthroughs on links filling unused space if your only effort is actually putting them up. After all it's tough out there and every little helps, right?
But think first. Are you simply adding clutter to your site with the net result that it actually reduces your overall income? Or needlessly directing valuable visitors to the exit?
To generate a realistic income from affiliate programs you need to sell in quantity.
Actively marketing something is an entirely different proposition to simply sticking a banner or affiliate link on your page. Think about the time and energy you plan to devote and be realistic about the returns you can expect to see. What's your traffic like? Assuming 1% of visitors buy (one in one hundred – a ballpark figure you can start with) will that get you one sale a day? 3 sales? Do a rough calculation of how much you are actually earning for each hour of promotion, etc., and then ask yourself,
"Would I work in a job that paid this much per hour?"
If the answer is, "No"... then why bother?
Choose another program that pays better and fully meets your requirements (at least as close as possible). There are many, many programs out there and the number grows daily. You can afford to pick and choose.
In certain categories demand is now so high that vendors have begun to compete with each other to gain your allegiance.
Joining affiliate programs, getting links, marketing the products and checking your stats does take up your time, no matter what vendors imply.
Invest your time wisely from the start and you'll reduce the potential for lost income later on. Time is money.
