Can anyone help me with affiliate marketing ?

I would definitely build your mailing list as you are building traffic as that is a powerful tool. But it is all about traffic.

You said you "worked articles", but you didn't mention doing SEO (Search Engine Optimization). This by far gets me the most traffic and is the best to spend my time on when it concerns my websites. Great content is great, but if it isn't optimized it isn't going to give you traffic.

So I would recommend to start working on that. Once you get the traffic, you can start working on Conversion rates, etc. SEOMoz.com has some free tools for learning, same as Digestonlinemarketing.com.

However, most of the good stuff is paid. As it should be. Because SEO makes people a lot of money. I didn't learn it for free, eventually I had to take some courses (Well, I actually went to a conference on the subject). And you will most likely too if you want to become an expert in the matter.
