The experience with many affiliates is rather than it being fast, it takes way too long to make money from any affiliate program. There are a few things you can do as an affiliate to ensure that you make money fast from any affiliate program that you join.

To make money fast, the first thing you should do is to set up a system where every new affiliate program starts off in beta status. That means that you test it to find that critical bit of statistics that will tell you how many hits you require to make a single sale. Some affiliate programs you join will not yield any sales. These ones you should discard by removing the affiliate links from your site and replacing them with others that will make money fast for you.

The other thing you need to do to make money fast from your affiliate program is to make extensive use of the text affiliate links in your site, placing them where they are as relevant as possible to the content. The more links you have out there pointing at your affiliate site the more money you will make faster from your affiliate program.

Which leads us to the killer strategy for ensuring that you make money fast from any affiliate program. Your site is not enough when it comes to placing affiliate links. You must find a way for placing your affiliate links in as many different places as possible. One of the ways of doing this is by writing interesting articles to promote your affiliate program and then placing your affiliate link in the resource box. This article can then be placed in as many leading article directories as possible.

If your article is good, it will virally mutate and show up in numerous other sites as it gets re-posted all over the place, complete with your resource box with the affiliate link intact. If this happens, you will find that you make money very fast from your affiliate program.
