Hello All,
I have familiarized myself somewhat with the affiliate marketing industry for some 10+ years. I have created websites in the earlier years and had my affiliate code hijacked several times over, only to become less interested and discouraged with affiliate marketing. I continued to follow how the industry has changed for the better while I consumed myself with work, marriage, family and then more work all the while watching the industry expand, grow and profit. I say all this knowing, believing that affiliate marketing can provide the freedom necessary that I seek on my pursuit to happiness. With that being said, today I am making a commitment to learn, achieve and pursue my quest to being successful in this industry. I am open to hear from any and all successful affiliates that can assist me on my quest.

Thank you all in advance,

Masterp917

Hello All,

Hi @masterp917 , welcome to AffiliateFix! Thanks for joining us.

I have familiarized myself somewhat with the affiliate marketing industry for some 10+ years. I have created websites in the earlier years and had my affiliate code hijacked several times over, only to become less interested and discouraged with affiliate marketing. I continued to follow how the industry has changed for the better while I consumed myself with work, marriage, family and then more work all the while watching the industry expand, grow and profit.

This is not an unusual story, you are not alone. Everyone goes through this. Some more than others, but we have all had our dealings with corruption and disappointments. The important thing is you are being a committed business person this time. This is perhaps the most important element. Commitment in business is what will carry you through to the results you seek.

Perhaps you know what I am about to convey below, but I just want to cover the bases with you. Follow the pattern laid out, and I promise you will find the path to the results you seek. All of us that claim success today in this industry eventually had to settle down, pick a narrow path at the beginning and master the basic elements this way. Once you do, you will then be prepared to conquer anything in this industry.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Be active, ask loads of questions, take action, and be committed. That's how it gets done!

Use this forum as a mentor. It's 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!
