I've come across some free affiliate marketing training recently and I have to say, it's pretty amazing stuff. Regardless of the level you are at I'm certain you can pick something up from the training.
There are three separate programs that I have been following and they all have a different approach to affiliate marketing. They are all free and use video for the training.
Black Ink Project
First there's the Black Ink Project. It's run by the Jeremy Palmer from QuitYourDayJob.com. He is building an affiliate web site from scratch with a forum and a blog attached. He walks you through the setup from beginning to end and includes the market research phase, etc. 7 lessons are complete but you can probably get caught up pretty quickly. I highly recommend following along with it, it's amazing stuff.
He's currently on phase 2 but phase 1 is still very new material. Phase 2 is limited seating so if it's full, take a look at phase 1. Visit TheBlackInkProject and/or BlackInk2.
The Second Tier
Another one is called The Second Tier. It's a decent program but the premise is really to teach you how to promote their products, although you can apply what you learn to any niche. Their products are all MMO related. They also have a referral system and you can make commissions from some of your referral's sales. There are some amazing prizes (a hummer was rewarded one time) for high volume. Here's my link: The Second Tier
30 Day Challenge
This is one that I definitely suggest you get started with right away. They are currently in pre-season but the challenge starts on August 1st. During pre-season they teach you about the free tools that will be used during the challenge.
They teach you some amazing techniques for making your first $10 online and it's not just for beginners. The money generating techniques are all free (no PPC) and make heavy use of Web 2.0 and social sites. If you want to be on my team, send me an email after you join.

I have to agree an all of these. The Black Ink Project you introduced me to a couple of weeks back. The other two I had already known about, Russel Brunson runs the second tier, and basically it’s his affiliate program for his products. No matter though, cuz I think his products are great.
The guys at the 30 day challenge are great and give out a lot of good info. Many successful marketers got their start there.
There is also another one to lookout for, it’s currently in beta, but I’ll tell you man, this thing is going to be huge. It’s run by Ryan Moran…the creator of Spacebankers.
He’s looking for beta testers of all types, check it out at http://www.theaffiliategod.com/
