Some Tips For An Affiliate Marketer
There are people from all walks of life looking for ways to
make money online. The internet is full of opportunities for people who is
looking for the next big thing. I have been burned a few times but I have found
my home here. I realized that the next big thing only applies if you have a lot
of money to invest… in Apple stocks…lol…
I want to share with you what I have learned so far and what
works for me.
1. Start Slow! You can feel easily overwhelmed trying to
learn everything about the business if you rush it. It’s called information
overload! Don't let that happen. Learn as much as you can bit by bit. Take down notes. Of course, we still had our day
jobs – so spend some time in the evenings or on the weekends to take the
courses and move forward. Remember that most of your competition don’t have
Wealthy Affiliate and they will probably try to go in blindly, so then you'll
be one step ahead.
2. Find Good Products and good affiliate networks - When you
are ready to take the plunge into making money online, affiliate marketing is
the way to go. It is easy to say I want to promote 100 things at once, but you can
easily lose focus. Start with one website and make it better. Don't spend a lot
of money until you find a profitable product! Most of us just starting out
don't have that extra money under our mattresses..lol..so keep your costs down.
Your ultimate goal is to make a profit, right? Test and Tweak – see what works
for you.
3. Get Excited - Start promoting your website and your products
as much as you can. Start with your family and friends, ask for their personal opinions
about your website and products. Remember there are always nay sayers out there
that can burst your bubbles. Let them be! Then our Wealthy Affiliate Community
- ask for feedback. The more you learn from others, the better. There are a lot
of ways to market your website and there are courses here in Wealthy Affiliate
about this as well. The whole experience can be a lot of fun, but there are days
you can be very frustrated…with google…lol...It can even be frustrating weeks.
Keep going, keep creating your contents, keep learning and stay in the game! No
one succeeds if you quit! Never give up!
I hope that I have given you some good information. This
business is open to anyone. Take it step by step. Learn, learn and learn!
Good luck on your journey! Start small but dream big!

Great post with some good reminders. Sometimes the ideas come so fast, it is hard to stay slow and steady. I just write the ideas down and research them when I have time.
I do the same thing! I write down the ideas or something for a content then I go back to it and research it later on. Thanks for reading! Best wishes to you!
Great post!
This sentence is so accurate: "Remember that most of your competition don’t have
Wealthy Affiliate and they will probably try to go in blindly, so then you'll
be one step ahead".
Great advice, especially about starting slow. There's such big excitement in the beginning, yet it makes sense to take a slower and more measured approach. That, coupled with picking good programs, will lead to success.
Excellent Mel! I was thinking about delivering a very similar message. Building your own online business through affiliate marketing is my niche - hence my site title "Rock Solid Affiliate Marketing" … and my last name is Rock! Nice to meet you.
