Advice for starting off as an affiliate

Hi, my name is Louise and I'm new around here!

I am new to all of this, so am needing some good advice if possible. I have been asked through someone I know, to become an affiliate for someone's new site. He is selling replica watches. Real good looking things, how does a Rolex sound to you for $299!? Well, kind of a Rolex!

Anyway, so I am really new to this and wanted some hints as to the best place to start off. This is really just me playing around to start with and hopefully earning a little money every month to add to savings.

I was hoping to start this off without spending any money on this, and we'll see how it goes!

So, where is a good place to start!?

I have so far collected a list of replica/watch forums, which I could do some postings in, perhaps acting as a customer that bought a watch from the website. I doubt it will bring much though.

I do have basic web building skills, so perhaps I could so something there, but I am unsure of the kind of site I could build.

Also, should I bother with this at all!? Maybe I should go for something with a bigger market, like online casinos or something? Honesty is the best policy please!

As you see, I am VERY new to this, and really want to learn, but you have to start somewhere don't you!?

Any advice is REALLY appreciated.

Thanks all for your time.

Louise.
