I sent Linda a message and she requested I place it on the forum so here it is.
I know this is a lot of info to request in one shot but even though I enjoy reading the posts that are made, to stop and read every one archived here to get these answers would take forever. I am just trying to sum it up as best as possible for myself and others who want this information.
Linda,
First, I have been a member on your site for a while now and love it. great work.
I am currently not doing any affiliate marketing and there is a reason for this. I don't REALLY know what to do. I have the general idea but not really.
I would like to suggest a sticky thread in the newbie section that gives a basic outline of steps you need to do to get started. for example....
!. find a niche market.
1a. how to do it
2. find affiliate programs involving that niche
2a. What do I look for
2b. where do I look
3. What do I do next?
3a. do I need to create a website.
3b. can I just advertise with links on existing sites?
3c. what about just advertising with links on search engines?
4. affiliate management software.
4a. what to look for?
4b. Why do I need it?
5. what should I avoid in the affiliate marketing world and why?
You get the idea.
Alot of people like myself are really wanting to get involved but don't know the first thing to do, let alone the second and third and forth etc. etc.
A basic proceedure to follow would be a great help.
I know the steps are covered throughout your site but not in one organized thread involving the ABC's of it all.
Thanks for reading this.
Steve
