Hey guys,

just getting with affiliate marketing. Looking to promote some CPA/nutra offers and learn tricks of trade.

Welcome to AffiliateFix @sameer-affiliate !

Well, there are no tricks actually, but there are tons of techniques, strategies, tactics, and methods.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Be active in this community, ask loads of questions, make the proper investment, 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.

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!

Hey T J,

Thanks for your detailed post. It is super helpful. I still have tons of reading to do.

I have been reading the various journeys and success stories.

I have decided to go with Garcinia offers. Do you think its a good one for starters or will there be too much competition.

Thanks

Since you are starting out new, you need to know and understand that your first foray into the business is more about learning the trade, not just picking out well converting offers. My post aboove for you explains that.

When you say, "too much competition", you need to examine that statement. Lots of competition usually means that there is lots of money to be made. You can start with any popular offer. The idea is to figure out how to use your tracker, design and implement great landing pages, how to get the right traffic to them, how to use the right copy to generate click thrus, how to do split testing, etc. You see, learning to do all of this with any popular offer until you figure out your first successful formula for promoting an offer is what these first steps by you are all about.

Stay with one tracker, one vertical, one traffic source, until you master them. A couple of months at most. Once you have mastered these three, you can then begin to widen the range of your experience and business with other tools, techniques, methods, strategies, and tactics.

Do not jump around, you will die on the vine if you do. Stick with your initial choices until you are their master! This is how all of us eventually made it all come together for ourselves.
