Hi Guys
Myself Travis, and I have 8+ years of experience in Internet Marketing industry. I am currently in service business where i provide SEO/PPC/Social Media/Web Development/Graphic Design services to Canadians. I have a team of 50+ people in India, so manpower is not a problem for me. Now, I want to start my Affiliate Marketing Business., i came to know STM is a great forum to get expert advice, please help me where i should start. I have following things-
1) Manpower
2) Access to affiliate account - Sellhealth, Markethealth, Maxbounty, Allaboveoffers
3) Access to SEM Rush, Spyfu, IBP, Woorank.
4) Knowledge of Google PPC/SEO/Bing PPC/Facebook PPC
5) $5000 investment to start and can expand if everything looks positive.
I am fine with partnership as well, i can provide free manpower and equally spend money on the system if somebody wants to. If somebody have experts advice please let me know where to start.

Honestly, I'd recommend starting in the same place as any new affiliate - follow one of our guides (the Getting Started Guide or the Mobile Cookbook), get the basics down, and expand from there.
You've got a number of great advantages - having a team with web experience will really help - so you should be able to get going pretty rapidly.
Given your existing experience with Facebook, that's probably a good place to start, although I'd recommend doing it on a secondary account - don't risk your main client campaigns, given FB sometimes takes the banhammer to even white-hat campaigns. Zeno has written an extensive guide to FB and affiliate work - http://stmforum.com/forum/forumdispl...el-Guide-to-FB - whilst you'll know a lot of it already it should assist you to rapidly convert that knowledge to affiliate campaigns.
I'd probably also recommend starting accounts with a fair number of other affiliate networks to give yourself the best chance - split-test offers between them ruthlessly. Given your background you shouldn't have trouble getting accounts with pretty much any affiliate network!
And finally, I'd recommend starting a Follow-Along Thread. Particularly given your existing assets, I imagine you're looking for a fast start, and seeking advice with a Follow-Along is a great way to shorten the initial learning curve.
Good luck, and I look forward to hearing how you get on.
Yes like Caurmen says, you have a number of advantages to get going. It is still a world of change (I come from pretty much exact same skills background as you) and there is still a huge learning curve, but your PPC experience and knowledge of web design will help with optimizing campaigns and landers.
