Easy everyone, the dude is 16. First of all congratulations on even finding this forum, not to even mention your interest in affiliate marketing. I wish I had known about affiliate marketing when I was your age.
Even though acemenace's advice may have been a bit harsh, that was solid advice. I use phpbay myself and you can EASILY earn $1k or so by your 3rd month. Granted you might need 5 different phpbay sites with high value items, but it's easy and can be done.
You're 16, I'm sure your friends are into custom air force 1's, gadgets etc. Start a few phpbay sites around those items, restrict your display settings to items over $99 and tell all your friends about it.
You are going to need some money to get started, so you will have to get a real job. Paint some fences in your neighborhood, borrow a lawn mower and cut some grass etc. You really need to be resourceful and creative.
Whatever you do, do not give up on affiliate marketing. Stay with it, you will have your stumbles along the way but in a few years you will be at acemenace's level.
Just take it easy on some 16yr old who wants to know how to get started :-)
