Hi Dina,
There are several technical and marketing skills (not mentioning the money required) you need to become a successful affiliate in UAE or MENA region.
1 - Learn basic programming languages and structure like html, css. You don't have to learn php or asp etc because you can get that sorted by hiring a developer on freelance website. But you do need to understand how php, html, css, responsive website structure, database structure binds all together to setup a website. There are several free courses available on the internet. Some understanding on hosting, domains and security essentials would also be useful. That is your min technical knowledge requirements.
2- Once you know above, you can then select if you wish to use a cms like wordpress or wish to hire someone to build a professional website for you like a cashback project. try ileaddigital.com guys.
3 - Search top trends from Google, browse top sites in the region like souq.com and see what are they selling and what people are buying? If you wish to setup a product based site then find out whats trending from these top sites in their best selling sections. if you wish to setup generic or specialized site like a cashback, discount voucher, price comparison etc then find your local competition. Low competition means there is a room to enter to capture the market but you also need to know if there is enough demand available in the market for your product or service.
Find a good niche or read some blogs from existing affiliates i.e. adeelfarooq.com
4 - then you need money to setup basic website of what you have decided. Trust me they say its free but nothing is free. Even your time spent like a month is worth hundreds of Dirhams. Never consider even you time as free. You will need money for things like hosting, design, development, integrations with affiliate networks, learning etc
5 - So in the above4 points, let's assume we have got the website ready. Now its time to promote it and get users on it who would convert well for you to make your project profitable. You will invest in promotional campaigns scuh as SEO, PPC, Email marketing, display advertising etc to bring relevant customers to your website.
6 - Keep an eye on your daily conversions, ROI and keeping your websites contents fresh and relevant. Rest is your experience that you will learn whats working and whats not working for you on your project so you can change your strategy accordingly until you find the right mix of everything that works well for you....
Good Luck.. if need more help feel free to email me on adeelfarooq.com

Hi dina
I'm ismail from morocco, thanxy for your question about what's does it takes to be a successful affiliate marketer ?
I 'm gonna answer your questions according to my years of experience in this field , as I realy didn't earned any commissions since I began working as an affiliate marketer and many other jobs like : forex trader , mobile apps publisher ... and more, however I've learnt a lot of strategies and a ways of how to earn money online .
Anyway , as a suggect and advice , if you want to become a successful affiliate marketer , you should always look for most famous and strongest companies which offer high commissions and multiple products categories , additionally to many payment methods , including : Wire transfer - Paypal - Check. On the other point , I suggest you too , to look for CPA companies which offer DEGITAL OFFERS AND PRODUCTS , these offers and products may : MOBILE APPS - COMPUTER SOFTWARES - SURVEYS - MOBILE SUBSCRIPTIONS .... , I mean every non-touched products , like : Electronics ,Home supplies.. etc , because these kind of items are so hard to promote and it's so complicated to attract people to buy it from you.
On the other point , the reason why I told you to look for DEGITAL OFFERS , is that earning commissions on them is so easy , for example : if you promote a FREE TRIAL OFFER , and someone subscribe for it by just SUBMITTING HIS EMAIL and PERSONAL INFORMATION , you'll earn your money directly , and the customer has not to pay anything, or just a MOBILE APP , if someone download and instal it you'll get PAID.
This is just an example to show you the advantages of DEGITAL PRODUCTS and OFFERS.
O, the other hand , the second advice is to use PAID TRAFFIC in order to promote your offers and products , the most top PAID ONLINE PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES :
SEO " Search Engine Optimization" - PPC " Paid Per Click" - EMAIL MARKETING - SMM " Social Media Marketing " - SEM " Search Engine Marketing " - Video Marketing.
These are the best ways almost internet marketing experts use from their first insight into this business.
