Affiliate Income for Newbies
Now, I’m not an affiliate marketer (at least not at this point). Anyone who has spent time around my planet knows that I don’t really plug other people’s products. Especially when I do not own the product, I just can’t bring myself to do it. However, what I am good at is getting traffic and converting it when it gets there (as long as I have enough controls on how the product is talked about and sold). So if you’re an affiliate marketer who just entered the market, then here’s my advice for you.
1. Learn bum marketing but tweak it
Bum marketing is probably the fastest SEO you can do. But, like everyone else on the internet says, you should pick a lot of keywords and a lot of products to pitch. You should run with the ones that make money and ditch the ones that don’t. You’re probably going to figure it out real quick, don’t try to make a loser win, try to make your winners win more often. You don’t go laser targeted with this method, you go buck shot and try a lot of things. It’s probably the best thing you can do, the more niched you go (let’s say if you pick a niche like metal free dental implants in Portland), the more knowledge of the market you need. You should start here.
2. Don’t rush into pay per click
Pay per click is going to cost you money fast, if you don’t have experience in the market, I wouldn’t be likely to suggest that you go this route. You can literally lose your shirt in a matter of hours, you should be very careful about pay per click. In fact most of the people who go into pay per click have the wrong mindset when they get into the market. They usually want to make money now, but what you really end up doing is losing money now.
3. Get your funnel right
Too many people try to rush into making money too fast. If your funnel is all wrong then when you get to a high amount of people contacting your funnel, then you’re just going to be leaking potential earnings. Your funnel needs to be tested because you never know how the conversion is going to go on the sales page of the product’s owner. Your own funnel must do the selling as much as possible so you can control and test what message works best for your own market.
There are a few tips to get started making money on the internet. Listen to those types closely because you won’t a more honest truth. Good luck with your business in the future.
