Hello

Hi,

My name is Vy. I been doing internet marketing for a month now, it is very hard to learn everything. I started with pop/redirect traffic and now begin with display traffic. I'm glad I found Affiliatefix, there are many good resources here. I have some campaigns at breakeven and looking to work all the way up to winning campaigns. I used Voluum for my tracker, I liked that is it cloud hosted. But I feel that it is very slow and it get unorganized when I have many campaigns running. I found Funnelflux here on Affiliatefix and will give it a try. It looks very interesting with the visual since I'm a visual person. I'm looking to learn more from many members here. Thanks for reading!

Hi,

Hi @GreenNim , welcome to AffiliateFix!

My name is Vy. I been doing internet marketing for a month now, it is very hard to learn everything.

The best advice I can give you about your thinking "it is very hard to learn everything" is to tell you straight up that YOU ARE WRONG! It is not hard. There is nothing that is hard or difficult in this industry. It is, however, necessary to study, invest, and implement. It takes time, you are not going to master your new business in a month. When entering a new business, you have to be very cautious about your mindset. You cannot tell yourself this is hard. You have to tell yourself this will take time to learn and master.

I started with pop/redirect traffic and now begin with display traffic.

This is the old, "the grass is greener" metaphor at work. You didn't spend enough time to master pop traffic so yon decided to try something else. This is a huge mistake. You must stick with one vertical, one tracker, one traffic source and one or two networks at the beginning. If you don't, you'll keep moving from one to the other thinking it will get easier, it won't. It will get more challenging. You have to stick to one set to master and do not move into additional verticals, traffic, or tools until you master your first set.

I'm glad I found Affiliatefix, there are many good resources here. I have some campaigns at breakeven and looking to work all the way up to winning campaigns. I used Voluum for my tracker, I liked that is it cloud hosted. But I feel that it is very slow and it get unorganized when I have many campaigns running. I found Funnelflux here on Affiliatefix and will give it a try. It looks very interesting with the visual since I'm a visual person.

All of the trackers represented in our Resource area will do the job. They all require the same information to track and analyze campaigns. Quit fooling yourself that one will be easier than the other. It is not true. Pick one and stick with it until you master it. Then, and only then, will you be qualified to determine if you prefer one over the other.

I'm looking to learn more from many members here. Thanks for reading![/QUOTE]

Be active in ihis community, 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!
