Affiliate Marketing Secrets

i’ve been doing affiliate marketing for a while and just got into CPA marketing. i got accepted to MaxBounty but just haven’t figured out getting around it. I see all the campaigns and have visited some of them. i haven’t seen where my ‘unique id’ is. shouldn’t there be some special link which goes back to you so that they can know that you sent a specific traffic. just copying and pasting the campaign links don’t look right to me since everyone might have the same. Where do i get my special link for different campaigns to promote?

I just joined rap bank (an affiliate program) it looks like a good program. I see a lot of programs that require you to have a blog, niche, or some form of website. I don’t have one nor do i want to deal with making one, does anyone know if i can just post classified ads on craigslist, backpage, etc.. with my affiliate link (it will be a “click here hyperlink”) and still get my commission?
Thanks in advance!

I have used my hobbies to help bring in a little extra cash. Such as house plant and perennial work. But it doesn’t bring much in.
I have looked into freelance writing. I have done many articles for news papers etc… for free. But have never been paid for freelance as of yet.
Also I have seen for example: If some one is into photography and desk top publishing, some have ran photo contest for the best looking child, pet etc… There may be a charge to enter. But that is where they get there pay out money for first prize.
Others have let people enter there own photo to see if they qualify to be published. Regardless of how great the photo is, the person running the business says, your photo qualified. If you want a copy of the published book that contains your photo the price is insane. Could be $35.00 or even $80.00 for the published book. That is how the publisher makes the money.
What have you found that you have fun with and make money at the same time.
NO SPAM PLEASE!
No chain letters, stuffing envelopes or sending out fancy magazines with the promise of making a fortune. I do know that some people make money with affiliate marketing etc… But only people that are really computer trained have luck with that kind of thing.
I look forward to real answers. Not the empty promises of making money with a secret spam program that makes people so rich they can buy new boats, homes, cars etc… That is fraud!

Ok so its getting close to choose what should I study in college, I like Digital Arts like visual effects and 3d, well Digital Arts will take anything from designing a book cover to visual effects in movies.
In the same time I’v started Affiliate marketing which everyone thinks that its easy to make money online but its actually harder that I thought but I’m learning more about it.
So I thought these would be good to choose, now which one do you think should I go with, which one make more money.
Thanks in advance.

If I start a website, just a website with links to other websites, if a customer goes on one of those links and buys a product, how will that company know it was me that sent them and how will I get commission? Is there a special way to make a affiliate marketing website? PLEASE ANSWER

I will be retired and I will need to add a little income monthly.
