In the long run yes you should have your own site where you add value to the product being recommended. e.g. a thorough review site or offering some other product as a bonus. But many affiliates send traffic to merchants other ways e.g. with paid ads or email marketing etc.

Hi Steve – If you …
Hi Steve – If you want to be an affiliate you need to find vendors/merchants who have an affiliate program for their product. If they don’t then suggest to them that they start an affiliate program. Merchants either have their own (private) aff. programs or you can find affiliate offers in networks like linkshare, hydra, commission junction etc. Usually the merchant has a link on their site that says “make money” or “affiliates”. The links are found from within their affiliate system.
