Affiliates World - Affiliate Marketing Guide
 

Affiliate Marketing Forums

Forums are a great place to find out information from other affiliates. They can be a bit daunting at first, so take your time and just have a good look around. Once you've built your confidence and got a feel for the character of the place, go ahead and ask your question.

Develop a relationship by contributing and even answering questions yourself should you feel qualified to do so.

Make sure you read the specific forum rules before posting and, unless otherwise stated, never do a blatant sales pitch. It'll surely end in tears!

Affiliate Forums

A Best Web

This is an International affiliate forum with over 20,000 members. I would imagine it has to be the largest and you could quite easily spend days here. The site has had over 450,000 posts in its 4 year history so if you have a question about affiliate marketing, promotion, networks... almost anything in fact, chances are the answer can be found here.

Affiliates 4U Forum

This forum is focused on the UK affiliate marketing scene. It boasts just under 10,000 members, has a really nice community feel to it and it the place to visit if you're a UK based affiliate.

A4U organise some great off-line events too where you could get to meet representatives from the major affiliate networks, merchants and other affiliates.

My user name in the forum is 'affiliates' and whilst not as active as some, I do check in from time to time to see what's going on!

Associate Programs Forum from Allan Gardyne, a full-time affiliate and wealth of knowledge.

Net Profits Today Forum - Rosalind Gardner, she of The Super Affiliate Handbook fame. Only about 500 members but very active and has lots of good advice/information.

Self Starters Weekly Tips Forum. This is owned by Lynn Terry and has developed into a really nice community with almost 4000 members. Stop by and you'll surely be made welcome.

Affiliate Talk Forum. Phil Wiley's forum. Bang on topic, relevant and very lively.

DentalPlans Affiliate Forum. Although dedicated to dental plans, this forum has just over 200 affiliates and covers the entire range of topics. If you're interested in this program, read about the dental plans affiliate program.

There's a lot of knowledge wrapped up in these affiliate forums so before you go buying another book, video or course, why not check them out? You may be surprised at how much information people are prepared to share.
