Shawn Collins of http://blog.affiliatetip.com answers a question about where to find out how to be an affiliate marketer.
Q: I have read many articles regarding Affiliate Marketing, but NONE have really answered or refuse to SHARE their knowledge. My question is WHY don't marketers talk about the "HOW" of affiliate Marketing? They talk about everything else but!
A: I guess the problem could be that you're not looking in the right places. There are a number of recent guides that I read and thought they'd be useful to folks new to affiliate marketing.
Affiliate Jonathan Volk has created a free guide called Affiliate Marketing 101, and another affiliate, Nicholas (NickyCakes) Koscianski created an Affiliate Marketing Newbie Guide.
Both of these are fairly brief and easy to understand guides on getting started in affiliate marketing. And they're free.
If you've got some money to invest in learning materials, check out the ShoeMoney System from affiliate Jeremy Schoemaker.
This is a video training program that walks affiliates through the steps to make money online, based on what Schoemaker did to achieve success.
Also, I have a short overview for affiliate newbies on my blog to get started in the business.
The "HOW" is out there.

@vinnyohare check out frontrowjoe dotcom - this NASCAR driver earns revenue from advertisers when people pay for products and services after clicking his links. That's it in a nutshell.

my problem is sort of the same. and the people that i read, have no idea how to write. call me crazy but i pay attention to every word i type.
For instance they will make a "how to be my affiliate" and let's say it's akin to rock climbing, they'll start "welcome to rock climbing; ok so you're on mt Everest with your tackle, spleen rope, guide shoes, and odometer right. ok now place your right hand on the crevice" which is 1,000ft off the ground. I'm like woah backup.

@shakaama I think the resources I mentioned are pretty easy to digest - I tried posting links here to each of them, but YouTube wouldn't allow it.
