Affiliate Marketing?
Which affiliate programme is the best to join? With so many affiliate marketing sites online, it’s hard to determine which would give a person a reasonable opportunity to earn a steady income online from ones own promotional effort.
I just need some opinion on which I should join-saving the long search and much trial and error with some that are just waste of time.

I would recommend that you consider your own product. It’s true that affiliate marketing is a good place to start, in terms of getting your feet wet if you are new to internet marketing, but if you can create your own product, you will achieve a lot more.
Two approaches you can take here:
OPTION #1
1) Sign up for ClickBank. Look for an affiliate product that is in the niche which interests you the most.
2) Do some homework on Affiliate Marketing and try to get some experience selling the product you chose. You can sell the products via placing high in organic search using a variety of free promotion strategies (article marketing, social bookmarking, etc.) or you can dive into Google Adwords and set up a PPC campaign. (check out http://www.adwords-profits2.com for good overview on how to do this or you can sign up for their free mini ecourse.)
3) Once you feel more comfortable that affiliate marketing is right for you, you then move into developing your own product and repeat the process.
OPTION #2
1) Think of what you are most excited about, and look to see if that people in your chosen niche has a particular "pain" that needs to be addressed.
2) Research affiliate products to see if there are currently other competing products. (if you find them, great! because this means there is a market out there).
3) Go to google and type in your niche. Do you see lots of Adwords Ads? If so, another good indicator.
4) Write your own ebook (or develop a free report to get a feel for the market).
5) Set up your website, market your eBook, distribute via sites such as ClickBank to get affiliates selling for you.
Keep in mind, the above is a VERY high level abbreviated version of what you need to do, but in my mind, if you are going to go through all the effort selling someone else’s product, you might as well sell your own. Not only will you make a higher % per sale, but you will be able to get affiliates selling for you plus build up your own "list" of prospects & customers to sell to in the future.
Good luck!

I am not trying to be rude but you are going to have to do some of the work for yourself.
I will give you three tips though…
You will be leaps and bounds ahead if you take a step back and do research on affiliate marketing and how to position yourself prior to getting started. If you do the long search you will eliminate some of the heartaches and unnecessary trials. The web host that I use for building websites has a great web page on this topic. You may be able to spark some ideas of your own. http://affiliatemarketing.sitesell.com/UnstoppableDreams.html
