Hi my name is Brad Spears and Ive been trying to learn affiliate marketing for about 7 months now, so I can finally get out of my 9-5 job and make some decent money. Ive read Profit Lance and Mymarketingland.com and Im still as lost as monkey in New York. I have learned alot, but it is just kind of all over the place and I don't really know how to put it all together in one simple format.
I started a blog, because I was told this was the best way for a beginner to start off, since I don't know much about html or website design or anything quite yet. So the steps I started with was to pick a niche then to make sure it was a profitable niche. Then I was told to get keywords and then create my blog then get traffic and make sales. Well I created my blog and Ive been trying to get traffic with article marketing, answering questions on yahoo answers and wiki with links to my blog , forums related to my blog I put my url in my signature and I also post new post and ping my blog everyday. Yet I can only seem to get about 5-25 people a day. I just started all this about 2 weeks ago, is it to soon to be expecting more traffic then this ? If so how long does it usually take to recieve your first commission?
Any help or pointers would be great because im really struggling here. Am I doing something wrong or missing something I should be focusing on more ? .Im just really struggling and trying to get some help to make my first commission. I dont even care if its only 1 dollar, I just want to know im doing this all right and not waisting hours a day trying to get traffic and make sales. Id put a link to my blog so you could check to see if i was doing something wrong but they wont let me . But my niche is all about fat loss and muscle building .
