Any advice for a new comer?

[Elliott Lee]

Hi,
I'm 17 and from the UK. I've just created an account after coming across this website when looking up a you tuber that i have been watching. I'm just wondering has anyone got any advice on where I can start or tell me what the basics are that I will need to learn. I have watched videos on youtube but have never heard most the terms used on this website.
Thanks

What is it that you want to do?

 

[Elliott Lee]

My initial idea was to gain fans on social media and refer them to websites I will create relating to the social media accounts. Although following advice from youtubers I cannot seem to attract many fans to the accounts. Is this the best way for me to start or am I doing it all wrong?

People seem to be doing this, it works for some, some abandon it once they figure out that it's hard work. If you don't have a large budget I think it could work.

I've never done free traffic though.

I've never done free traffic though.

What would you say I would need as a fair start up budget, I have a solid idea for a website that I know alot of people will be interested in, currently i do not have a website or any experince creating them (except using free website builders for a couple of months a few years back). Also I would consider using paid advertising as I feel the idea is strong so how much start up do I need for that? Thanks

Budget for what? Do you want to do CPA marketing? Market your own website?

 

[Elliott Lee]

@comegetbravo CPA marketing is what I had in mind and I was thinking I would market my own websites but I'm very new to this and don't know what's best for me. The budget I was asking about I meant how much money would I need to promote my website with google starting off. Thanks

Hi @Elliott Lee! Great that you found the way to AffiliateFix! Welcome aboard man!

First I'd suggest you to read the following tutorials by K: What is Affiliate Marketing? (START HERE) | Affiliate Marketing Forum | AffiliateFix They will give you an overview what Affiliate Marketing is and what options are possible

My second advice for you would be browsing our social media forum Social Media | Affiliate Marketing Forum | AffiliateFix You will find lots of helpful information therein

My question to you: Which yt vid was it that brought you to us?

Hi thanks for the advice! The yt vid that brought me here was a series off videos that I have watched a couple of times now by a youtuber called "Lazyassstoner" and his name is Jay Wessman. I was searching through google as he has not posted any content for a couple of years to see what he was doing now, which eventually brought me here.

Welcome to this forum buddy. I will tell you that it is a decision you will never regret making. To understand you better, you need to know how the forum can help you know what you want to do right? If that is the case, then will advise you that you first get familiarised with the forum rules and regulations. Then you can be able to look at some of the posts in the newbie section for you to establish a niche that you will work on to get a few dollars.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Be active, 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!
