Hello @Tammy Nelson , welcome to AffiliateFix! Thanks for joining us.
You've tried everything? Can you be more specific? Everything is more than you think! Sounds to me that you didn't stick with anything long enough to make it work. Not to worry, this is more frequent than not. It is among the top causes of not finding success in this business.
That said, this is a community that will help you get to where you need to be with your marketing. Among the key to succeeding in this industry is collaborating often with others in the field of marketing you select. As well, it is extremely important (I can't stress this enough) to select one method of marketing, one tracker, one vertical, and one traffic source to start. Do not waiver, do not jump ship, do not look for greener grass, stick with these initial selections until you master them! This should take no more than a couple of months.
Myself, and any seasoned marketer, will tell you to use this forum as a mentor because it is full of members at every level of experience which makes for many balanced perspectives for a Newbie to learn from. Take the time to read through the forums here and see for yourself that the Newbies achieving success have actually dedicated themselves to success in this industry and reaping the rewards by following the advice of fellow AffiliateFix members, being dedicated to success, putting the time in, and making the necessary investments. You cannot shortcut the learning curve. It goes slower for some and it goes faster for others. Everyone has their own intellectual absorption rates, skill development pace, commitment level, and budgets.
You are a FIX'er now and that means you have the world at your feet with IM. Here are a few suggestions:
Read and learn through extensive reading in this community. Select one vertical. one tracker, and one traffic source. Learn from your fellow members here to master each one of them (a couple of months). Then you can expand and replicate your successes.
As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement. Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.
Read
Read through the various areas of the forum to learn about the types of marketing available for your new business. Make a list of all the types of marketing and take some notes along the way. Then determine which area of marketing with which you will start your journey.
Do this to select an area of marketing to start, as well, do this to select a tracker, a traffic source, and to select a vertical.
Then read up on the affiliate networks and select two to begin with that will serve your needs and the types of offers you would like to promote. Put your application in and they will call you for an interview. Be professional and be prepared to answer some questions about how you will promote offers, do you have a website, are you a Newbie, etc. Please note, if you join the Dojo, we have a thread there that can offer assistance in getting accepted to some of the networks.
Study
Now that you have selected a basis to begin, read all of the threads in this forum that relate to your initial selections so that you have a rudimentary understanding of their features and benefits.
Invest
You will require some investment. A VPS server, domains, traffic, landing pages, etc. You will need a budget for daily, weekly, and monthly expenses. This will change over time and you will need to update it often so that you know exactly what your costs and earnings are.
Implement
This is where it all starts to earn. You must now begin to implement what you have established as your foundation for your business.
Here is some advice and guidance that will help you establish your initial goals:
Make sure you complete the following first.
Every business needs:
1. a plan
2. a schedule for research, learning, and execution
3. a budget.
Remember to read through our WIKI and get to know the basics as well as some of the buzz words in the industry.
I also recommend reading the following thread:
As a Newbie, What Stops You From Getting Started
Here is a set of immediate goals:
1. Get a VPS
2. Select a vertical
3. Select a tracker
4. Select a couple of networks and get your approval
5. Select a traffic source
6. Create a schedule for researching, learning (training), and working. This is a business, treat it as such!
7. Create a budget for every expense (daily, weekly, monthly)
8. Be very active in this forum by researching, asking questions, helping others when you are able.
As well, I highly recommend you join the DOJO as it is full of great tools and contributions for successful marketers. Click the banner below to learn more.
Remember This! : Nothing has to be perfect before you start. Read & study, but invest and implement at the same time. You cannot learn all of it from reading and studying. A great deal of your learning comes from implementing!
Good Luck!

Hi Tammy,
what have you tried? Have you tried analyzing what was wrong? Any ideas how to improve situation?
what have you tried? Have you tried analyzing what was wrong? Any ideas how to improve situation?
I have never actually analyzed what was wrong.The only thing I have said was that the opportunity was a scam.Now I am starting to look into weather or not an online opportunity may be real or not.Like for instance this $10.00 per click referral Program I am into.I found out that the site is fairly new but the site owner doesn't have his name listed.I learned that could be a sign that it is fake.Lets hope not.I have earned so far $645.00.Just cut me a check already.Then I tried this freeStore.com MLM Marketing.Those MLM usually dont work out and that Free Store one didn't.I have tried mailing Letters from home for a company.I have tried working on Products from Home and nothing has worked.The only thing that has worked out so far is the earn $1.00 for doing task online.That was the first time I had ever earned any money.My mom and I did this chain letter once where we paid out alot for stamps,but the $4.00 return we got wasn't enough to cover the cost of the stamps.
