As someone just starting out on the internet, or even if you’re very familiar with it  (yes)  setting up an affiliate program would be a good idea. Because not only are you able to generate a profit but it doesn’t cost you a dime.
My suggestion however is to do a little research with the company that you select to affiliate with since you are a reflection of their company or business. One of the ways I determined my affiliates was if they were in line with my company or my business industry.
