Hello all! I'm a newby

[rosa]

Hi all,

I'm from originally from Spain but living in London and working in The City, sounds boring huh?

Although I know what affiliates are and I've done a few attempts I consider myself pretty "brand new" to this field and this is why I'm here: to read, to learn and to try as many times as needed.

See you!

Hi all

Hey @rosa , welcome to the AffiliateFix!

I'm from originally from Spain but living in London and working in The City, sounds boring huh?

We've got a lot of folks from the U.K. here, as well as from every corner of the planet.

Although I know what affiliates are and I've done a few attempts I consider myself pretty "brand new" to this field and this is why I'm here: to read, to learn and to try as many times as needed.

The following is a starting point for you that will give you a strong foundation for your new business. Follow this advice and you can get to your goals without wasting precious time and resources.

Perseverance, dedication, and taking action are the cornerstones of the success you will obtain.

As a Newbie, you need to read, study, invest, and implement.

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.

New? Then I recommend these two sections first.

What is affiliate marketing
Newbie Helpdesk

Once you have browsed around those two sections and have a general idea of what you may want to do, then The Dojo. It is a forum packed full of tutorals, guides, and tips from many of today's top Affiliates!

Welcome!
