new to affiliate marketing

hi dear members, I've heard about affiliate marketing looong ago but never considered taking a journey in it until lately when i stumbled upon a course that teaching it and i got excited even knowing how hard it its.
I'd love to hear some stories from you guys specially the once who consider them selves successful on it, how did you got into affiliate? how long it took you from a newbie to your first commission ? your struggles and the best networks a beginner like me should join in.
note that I'm resident in morocco and couldn't make it into clickbank due to my area.
any information will be so helpful to me and i appreciate any help, thank you in advance.

Hi, glad to see more and more new people decide to take this journey and change their careers in this direction. I would say the most important thing is to first determine your niche, just to know which kind of offers you will place on your site or some other social platform and then to fill yourself up with the knowledge and patience, as even you manage to get first partners, don't expect to see quick results, it can take up to 3 months to start receiving first commissions. That can be challenging in this job, as a lot of people want to give up too quickly. As for the network, you should join, can't tell you without knowing about your niche, but would recommend starting with smaller ones at the beginning.

The beginning is always bit rough
But try to read much articles that you can and take advice from other people
Good luck mate

It depends on several other factors. If you're running Google/Facebook ads, then you can have several landing pages for individual products. But if you have a website, then you should stick to a niche instead of covering all products. It's better to stick to a niche when you're a beginner.

There are many people in the forum who are successful in affiliate marketing. You should find a strategy, test the waters, and then come up with an exact problem. There is nothing like a blueprint which can give you profits.

You could maybe go to Google Trends and see what's the most popular nowadays, especially in the market that you want to target. Might give you a couple of ideas that you can think about. Also, see which are some of the quality networks out there and find out which verticals they cover, as well.

Welcome @ayoub elakhdar and good luck!

There are a few ways to get traffic and promote offers of various networks. First thing you have to decide is your vertical (adult, dating, casino, health, and the list goes on). Afterwards you need to think how much money yu are willing to spend on finding the traffic. Either you will be paying ad networks to buy ad spots (display ads - banners, popunders, e.t.c.) or you will create social media groups and place the offer link there. What you have to know is that you have to find the right traffic for the right offer. Furthermore, you can write blogs in various websites and place the offer link there. Creating a website and bringing traffic to it is also an option.

I hope these few tips will help you buddy

it seems that it's all starts with choosing your niche and then growing around it
