Affiliate Marketing Tips For Beginners

Before we get into this I want to be completely honest and let you know that this was by no means easy to start and will never tell anybody that it happens overnight. This becomes an obsession, a desire for knowledge, hunger for how to, an honest commitment to put the best products, in front of the right eyes, at the right times. NO MATTER WHAT! I'll let you in on a secret at the end that brings validity to the whole set up. So Let's get started on my favorite Affiliate Marketing Tips For Beginners.

What The Heck Is Affiliate Marketing Anyway

Well contrary to most internet skeptics of the new age. It is not a scam. By definition, we come up with...

af·fil·i·ate mar·ket·ing [affiliate marketing]

NOUN

a marketing arrangement by which an online retailer pays commission to an external website for traffic or sales generated from its referrals.

Actually i believe that the people who are able to crack the code on driving digital traffic will have developed a high value skill. Right off the bat I knew that this was the road for me. Mostly disappointed that I did not understand this until recent history. Now that I understand I want to share what I have learned.

Make It An Obsession

Day In And Day Out - Replace your online business with the time you spend playing video games, or watching T.V. Just naturally you will be able to develop an amazing new skill set that you didn't even know you had. A skill set you didn't know you can start charging money for.

A few of the skills i had to learn to be able to do this. I can know teach someone how to do a number of things along the lines of:

1. Creating powerful website design that ranks on major search engines.

2. Building a converting sales funnel.

3. Creating Value Driven Content.

4. Optimizing a Simple YouTube Video.

5. Building an E-Mail List

6. Creating sales leads that convert.

7. Keyword Analytic

I know my head almost exploded once I started attempting to put it all together. It is all good tho. Community submerse yourself into a community and lean on them for support and techie questions. There is always someone out there who loves to show off a little knowledge. Make the community you new private Sifu!

Knowledge Is Power - Knowledge Is Money

Consume as much as you can handle every day. Just like getting in shape. Train your brain to want more. Feed it more and it will start to retain more. I started learning and it consumed me. I only thought I was Tech Savy before i took on this adventure. Read, Read, Read! Keep yourself always reading the faults as well as the successes. This is not a wheel that needs to be re-written. There is a proven method if you are willing to put the time in to create value driven content consistently.

MINDSET - Finding Your WHY

This could very well be the difference between success and failure. Spend some time and figure out what it is that drives you. There is no wrong answer here. Whatever it is that brings that drive to want more, or to do better, or to provide.

The idea of a passive income that could allow you to quit the 9 to 5 and be with your family. You may want passive income to be able to jump start a business you always wanted. You might be thinking about walking into retirement with some financial freedom. Whatever it is that drives you, you need to write it down and look at it every damn day.

Your Niche Does Not Have To Be Your Passion

It is very important to remember you are in business. Don't get me wrong you want to be able to write/create content on things you like, sure. It makes it easier. If, you would like to run a site on your passion then yes absolutely run that site. Move along to a high converting niche and study the hell out of it and make passionate value driven content about it. Set yourself up multiple streams of income. You Must Understand Right Now BUSINESS DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR PASSION, BUSINESS ONLY CARES ABOUT YOUR VALUE TO THE MARKET PLACE. ((PERIOD))

Be Patient - Enjoy The Journey

As long as you understand up front that the "payoff" if you will, is down the road, then take the time to enjoy the journey and consume as many high value skills as possible. You will just naturally be able to do and understand so many high value talents that so many businesses are looking for. As long as goods are being made and there are people needing to know about these goods you will always have something to sell.
