For the newbie, affiliate marketing, that is, selling other peoples products and making a commission is the best way to start. It is generally risk free and the ideal way for a newbie to venture into internet marketing.
He can learn about affiliate marketing by first going through Rosalind Gardner’s book, and then taking up one of the suggested trainings to start with. In the navigational bar above this page, you will find three training links and you should choose one of them and go with it.
Training-1: Chris Farrell membership – For absolute beginners
Training-2: AffiloBlueprint – For Newbies
Training-3: Internet Marketer – For those who have a general idea of internet marketing
Well, I have done all the hard work for you in sourcing these useful links and you only have to have the right mindset to consistently work towards your goal of making money online.
I would also recommend that you check out Ewen Chia’s (world’s number one affiliate marketer) free basic internet skills videos. You can get free access to it by entering your name and email address in the form at the top right hand corner of this page.
The next step would be to decide on a goal and work towards it. You have to choose one of the many business models for making money online and work at it with dedication till you get the desired results. While you are at it, don’t get sidetracked by other programs or other business models. First make the one you have chosen, work before moving on to the next one.
Don’t be the eternal student. Whenever you learn something new through a video or eBook internet marketing course, try it out and check the results. Hats off to you if it works and if it doesn’t, go through it again and check whether you have followed all the steps correctly.
Never get into the habit of blindly buying and storing all the programs you come across without using them. Remember that a newbie first needs to learn the ropes before he would be able to understand and use all those programs out there.
While at this stage, it is important to have a good mentor who will show you the way and answer all your questions. So, you will have your questions answered by the support staff or by more knowledgeable members of the forum which would be part of the membership program.
Well, I have mentioned this elsewhere on this site and I am saying it again – traffic generation is very important if you want to make money online. So, it’s absolutely necessary to learn traffic generation tactics also right from the beginning. So check out the post entitled “Traffic Generation” on the home page and you will find links to programs on how to bring lots of visitors to your website or blog.
