Alright everyone,
Today,s little lesson is geared toward the Newbie Affiliate.
The term Newbie is not in any way, shape or form to meant as an insult or looking down upon. It is just the term that happened to stick in the business world for anyone starting out fresh in any industry.
We have ALL been newbies at one point and I will testify first hand that is so frustrating in the beginning if you do not have the right answers when starting this new way of life.
There are many rip off artists out there that can seem so genuine and honest. If you do not know how to spot them, you are in for a world of losses and pure aggravation. I suppose that is exactly what got me started on the whole review tangent.
I totally have your back on this one.
So you want to make money online eh?.
Where do you start?
How do the people out there do it?
Can I really get rich?
What is the best way to pick a product to promote?
What the heck does an affiliate marketer really do anyway?
Lets go down the list together shall we?
Where to start:
Before you do a thing, you start from within and decide what type of niche you are most drawn to. You can build on different niches as you go along. Lets just take it one step at a time o.k?
Once you have made a decision on your niche, get over to Google and do a keyword search on the niche you have just chosen.
If it pulls up a lot of other interest in the search engine, chances are you have a good niche and can start the ball rolling on promoting companies that have the products that fill that need in the market place. Cool?
O.k, lets take the next step.
How do other people out there do it?
Loaded questionn. We all have different ways of running our businesses. We have different thought processes, different passions and different business models we go by. However if we take that same question and change it up a bit to something like, “How do the Super Affiliates and Guru’s do it?” Well now we have a much better question. Agreed? Awesome..
There is a formula to it all when you start digging your heels into it.
One thing that is agreed upon by all the Super Affiliates and Guru’s is this:
One big mistake I see with many newbies is they do not know this value yet. And yes it is Value. Think about it this way. When you are looking for something online to either learn or purchase, do you stay on pages that give you nothing up front? There has got to be value in everything you do. Not only will your potential customers thank you and actually buy from you but you will have the knowledge that you are giving the best you can give up front. No strings attached. Just great content and information to educate your readers and lead them to making their own decision on weather or not they want to buy from you. You are competing for business just like in the off line world. People buy from their friends and from authorities they trust and like. If you not build trust and keep honesty in your business dealings, YOU ARE DONE! Baked, Cooked And Fried! Got It?
Now I could go real deep here with a complete business plan and road map for you but I won’t do that here because I do plan on writing a book along with some video tutorials to sell you one day.
For now if you just can’t wait for it here is a link to on of my favorite GURU’s that made this just for the Newbies…and yes this is an affiliate link of mine... (See, upfront and honest!) “This is one you can TRUST.”Click Here! I will get to that whole who to trust thing with products out there as well.
Next one:
Can I really Get Rich?
Again, this is a question you need to answer for yourself. Can you? Well, yes. Will you? Depends…
We all have the same opportunity to make our dreams of financial freedom come true. First off, you need to decide what rich really means to you personally. If you are really asking can I become a millionaire off of this type of business. Absolutely you can! But it is work and dedication. Just ask any millionaire in the world what they do daily to get there and the list will amaze you.
Next:
What is the best way to pick a product to promote?
Be very selective with whom you jump in the sack with on this one.
My suggestion is you sign up for a click bank account and start looking through the programs that are offered. Look at the pitch pages from the owners of the products.
If it looks like crap to you chances are it will look like crap to someone else. Also look at what the offer for affiliates are.
The best offers will be no less that 50% of the commission. These guys know that we the affiliates make up for close to 90% of their sales. So be sure to compare the product with the rate and do investigate who you are dealing with.
You can always ask me to give the scoop on them. When you subscribe to my newsletter you will have access to my email as well. Fair?
Next and last:
What the heck does an affiliate marketer do anyway?
We do exactly just that. We market online products to the world. We have several ways of doing this but for now here is just a small list. And it is a BLAST!!!
We write blogs, articles and newsletters. We do click bank campaigns. We make pages on our websites (easy to do by the way) that promote products. We add links to our pages with our affiliate codes. We educate, inform and encourage others.
We love what we do and make money at it.
So, now that you have a little bit more..And I hope this helps..
Remember to always have love in your heart and give thanks for every window of opportunity that comes your way. And most of all Give First, Reciprocate and always do what you say you will do.
