Answer #1

What are the best affiliate programs?
The best programs are the ones which are ones through which you can make the highest money. It all depends on the programs you promote and the niche you are into.

If you are into Education Niche , programs like leads/signups of universities would be good to promote and then you need to research with the biggest market places to find the best products.

For Jobs/Career related websites you should go for promoting websites like naukri,monster, resume related websites etc and get quick/easy sales/leads.

Do we need to invest anything to get into them?
If you dont have a big website from which you can drive traffic then the only option you have is to promote these affiliate products using adwords etc, which would cost you up, but you need to plan out with perfect maths before you start promoting.

Example : If you are promoting a product from mozy.com which pays you in the following way :
Mozy pays affiliates $35 for Biannual, $15.00 for each monthly Mozy Unlimited sale, 30% for MozyPro account purchase or $20.00 for each annual Mozy Unlimited sale, and finally $1 for each Mozy Free signup (no credit card required)
Now for every sale you are getting 35$, so you need to make sure you get 1 sale for every 35$ of advertising in adwords to atleast break even. In adwords you need to pay a minimum of 1cent/click and you need to create multiple campaigns for getting better conversions. If you can understand the maths then you can easily setup advertising your affiliate links and getting sales on them for making money through affiliates.

Do let me know if you have any other questions.
