Can anyone tell me the easiest affiliate products to promote if you’re just starting out?

I’vebeen bitten by the making money online bug and I’mdipping my toe into the water. I’ve joined commissionjunction affiliate network and I ambrowsing through all the products that are out there.

Obviously, there are certain niches I feel more comfortable promoting but I’m afraid that it wouldn’t generate enough commissions to cover my overhead. I have a few questions for all you affiliate marketing wizards out there.

1.) what are the easiest affiliate products to promote if you’re soft just starting out

2.) What are some of the easiest and cost-effective ways to generate qualified traffic,and is search engine marketing still a good way to bring traffic or do you absolutely need to have a landing page?

Any other tips and advice would be greatly appreciated. Serious inquiries please.

Thank you so much in advance
