As you have seen in my last post, list building usually does not happen over night.
I admit this is one of the draw backs if you start a business with no or very limited funds.
You have to substitute the service you can buy by learning to do it yourself, and other things by time. So in a way it is true that time is money - the other way round, as it is normally used!
One thing you know, but I want to mention:
Do you know a sure way to fail in affiliate marketing?
Yes, you are right, to give up!
Have you made a plan for your affiliate marketing business?
You know one of the very important things in a business plan are the dead lines!
Give yourself 9 to 12 month at least!
With me I observed an interesting fact: sometimes I learn something and "know" it. A while later - that can be after a night of sleep or some days - all of a sudden this knowing become "understanding". This might happen in Affiliate Marketing as well. After all it is not as easy as copy and paste!
Back to the core of affiliate marketing:
What are you doing in the web?
Do you got to certain pages regularly?
You go there because you like the place or you gain something!
Check it, maybe this site has an affiliate program!
Even if you do not get much out of it, you can learn and make experiences.
If you are smart, you write down what you do and what the results are!
If you do it as a sideline and if you do not do the internet marketing on a daily base, you will forget a lot of things!
And you know, mistakes we forget, we are likely to repeat!
I mentioned Click Bank and Commission junction before, because these are the places where people go for affiliate marketing as promoters and as sellers. If you have a product and do not know how to market it, go to click bank and offer it. You have to pay a one time fee of about 50 $ that is ~2200 peso.
It is also a great place (both are) to learn a lot about internet marketing.
Have you read it? Read it again! Whenever I go there, I learn something new, often something I did not understand the first time!
You can find a product to market in Click bank or Commission Junction but you also can find affiliate programs with many other big internet companies eBay, Amazon, PayPal to name just three. If you google, you get about 53,000,000 hits! This should give you enough options.
Learn the product you choose, get as much information as you can.
have a means to get paid (Paypal for example)
Then sit down and develop a strategy to bring customers to your vendor!
Keep a form of dairy! Sketch down where and what you did! And what the results were.
You will make MISTAKES! and that is good, as long as you learn from it!
I also suggest you do not start with your dearest product! If you learn to build a house you will start simple and be prepared for flaws.!
ToDoList:
If you read Click Bank last time, please go and read Commission Junction now!
