Hello everyone. I am a single mom of a 2 year old. I also have a 16 & 17 year of so I know how much I have missed working while they were growing up so I want to try to work from home to be with my baby and teenagers before they are gone. If anyone knows of any affiliate programs that generates conversions quickly, please let me know. Thanks for all the help and hopefully this will be a fun project that turns into a job for me.

I've done enough research to know that. I have 2 Masters degrees (1 in Business) so I am not an idiot about business or sales. I thought someone could tell me what to stay away from and what to try such as blogging or funnel emails etc. but I guess an insult was easier. Thanks!

Welcome! I would suggest starting a thread You have a good background, so I'm sure once you apply the advice of people on the forum, you'll do great!
Much respect for a mom of three with not one, but two masters degrees!

Bragging about my degrees doesn't impress anyone and it actually attracts predators. I just didn't appreciate being talked down to; single mothers can be educated and work hard too. Thanks for the info. but you should watch your assumptions... that's just my personal subjective opinion.

Zed81414 Welcome to Affiliatefix forum. Blogging is a good choice but it will take time if you are going by the organic traffic route as it will take time to rank your site on search engines. But if you are going by the paid traffic route then you can generate quick sales and that too depends on several factors including your marketing strategies.

To get yourself started go through all the guides posted on this forum, all the case studies and all the journals and success stories. That will give you some kind of motivation how people have started from zero here and is still growing.

Hello everyone. I am a single mom of a 2 year old. I also have a 16 & 17 year of so I know how much I have missed working while they were growing up so I want to try to work from home to be with my baby and teenagers before they are gone.

Welcome to AffiliateFix @Zed81414 ! Nice to have you with us.

If anyone knows of any affiliate programs that generates conversions quickly, please let me know. Thanks for all the help and hopefully this will be a fun project that turns into a job for me.

Most any experienced marketer in this business can turn a good offer into a responsive and profitable campaign within a few days, maybe a week for some. You suggest it depends on the offer, or affiliate program, to turn a quick profit. This is never the case. It is always dependent on the skills of the marketer. ALWAYS! A skilled marketer can take a sub standard offer and figure a way to make it work, we go after fresh offers because we can often hit the ground running with them when they haven't been over promoted in some ways.

I appreciate your wanting to do something quickly, but this is just like any other business in most regards. Every Newbie to this industry that succeeds, eventually has to follow some basic guidelines to develop their initial skill set before seeing the kind of results you seek. It doesn't take long, especially for someone with your education. There is a learning curve, you must get through it, and when you do the skies open up and rain down successful campaigns for you.

This community has an abundance of marketers at every level and you will find the following information and guidance will get you where you need to be in short order. Ignore it and be forever in a loop of never getting there. Follow it and you will find the diamonds in the rough.

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!
