Hi there.
My journey in affiliate marketing has been interesting, in a way that I actually love this... I was first introduced to this in 2016 but I only started doing it in November 2018. I found that I actually like researching and I that whenever I have free time, I'm always researching for Marketing related topics trying to get better at what I do. I finally think that I've found something that I really like doing. When I see a sale it's like fireworks. It's like a victory. But then that feeling slowly fades away because it can be many days without any other sale. But even without the sales happening I still love seeing the metrics. Just by having someone signing up to my email list is another victory!!
I have spent around 350$cad dollars on Bing ads plus around 120$cad with a getresponse subscription. I actually like getresponse a lot. It allows me to build my own landing pages and host them and also have autoresponders and their support is great. So in total I've spent almost 500$cad in this adventure. I've made like 7 sales already totaling 250$cad but those sales didn't happen how I wanted them to happen...
I want my business to be sustainable and that would happen if my sales would come through my email marketing funnels. But they didn't!!! They were just random luck.
I get it... First I need to test a lot and spend money to see what it works, and being new to marketing I need to learn the intricacies of copywriting and how to put myself in a buyer's mind.
I am starting to recognize some authority names in this industry, through all the ads that I'm bombarded with daily on social media. There's tons of gurus... but I know that taking their courses is a dead end. They just teach you how to refer those softwares to all those new people starting (like me) for a commission. Softwares that every online marketer uses. I mean... Why would they teach a course if they are good at being salespeople? Why share a formula that would literally give them some much competition?
I still think that I can do it by myself and I'll be very proud of achieving that success one day!! I got a friend in Portugal who started doing online marketing back in 2014 and he already started a small company . He found success!!
I'm in Canada now and I've tried asking him for some tips, but no reply!! So no luck there.
I get it. He had a tough road learning everything.. Why would he teach me anything even if we grew up together? He trailed his own path to success. I should do the same without shortcuts. Without an easy road.
I have a lot of questions and sometimes I wish I had a mentor. Some people are so smart they figure everything on their own. Me on the other hand I need some guidance. But the good thing is that I don't quit!!!
I started this journey on November last year and there's no single day that I don't think about doing things better.
You guys are a great help and I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for always replying to my inquiries and helping me!!!!
This forum is amazing!!! Lots of good Samaritans in here!! God bless you all.
As of now I am learning several things.. From HTML to Email Marketing and how to optimize Landing Pages to have a better CR.
I won't quit!!!
Thanks for everything.
