how to start..

Step by step in what area?

You need to learn the basics, my friend or you'll waste time and money. There is no one way, there are many and you need to figure what works for you.

@T J Tutor will be in here at some point. He has a very detailed guide that lays out exactly what you need to get started. I won't steal his copy and paste here. :)

Meanwhile, these may be of some interest to you, along with the link that @tyoussef provided:

There is no step by step for a Newbie except for the information below. If I gave you a step by step guide right now for one of my campaigns, you would never make it work because there are other elements that you would be required to obtain and learn. There are too many variables for anyone to decide what will work for you. you need to take the time to develop your skills, build a plan, invest properly, select a niche, a tracker, a traffic source, etc.

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU WILL SUCCEED! Don't follow them, and you will forever be searching for a way to earn!

Be active in this community, ask loads of questions, take action, invest in your new business, 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.

Check out the new enhanced membership option here as it is full of great tools and features.

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!

Here is your step-by-step easily to understand guide how to start with affiliate marketing:

1) choose the niche (f.e. dating, internet-shop affiliate program etc). Choose the niche you just want to try and what you're interested in.
2) find where is the auditorium for you niche (find traffic source) (groups in social networks, youtube channel, blogs, forums about your niche etc)
3) understand your budgets for testing. Ask here at forum about your special niche and traffic source and members will help you with that
4) create traffic flow from that traffic source (f.e. create your own blog about that niche, create advertising campaign via youtube, social networks, blogs, forums or via something else)
5) track leads (via Voluum or any other tracker) to understand your digits and where they came from
6) make a decision:
- got profit 20% and more? (spent 1000, got back 1200 f.e) - scale
-
got profit -40% (spent 1000, got back 600 - 1000) - opimise
- got profit less -40 (spent 1000, got back less than 600) - go to step 7
7) Choose a new niche
