Learning how to use affilliate marketing
Ok, I’ve been around for a while. I have recently been investigating affiliate marketing. If you’ve seen my last post on changing my Adsense ads for affiliate marketing ads, you’ll probably see that I’m a little excited. Granted, there are no quick wins in this business.
So far, it looks like there have been people doing this for years and they’re making tons of money. But, that’s not everyone. It seems as though there is a select group of individuals that have learned how to master it. It also appears as though there are a lot of individuals taking advantage of others trying to learn.
The thing that impresses me the most about affiliate marketing is the scalability. For example, if you figure out how to do it, the amount of sales is unlimited and so with the profit. And because you would have to build a site, blog whatever only once and have it bring in money, forever, it sounds great. And, you don’t have to handle shipping, customers, etc. I mean what’s to lose.
So, my mission is to figure this out. It sounds like a game. Recently, I’ve been following Shoemoney. He appears to have built a small empire doing this and has “mastered” the game. If you’re interested in his tools, feel free to visit here. This link will give you a discount on the trial offer AND the membership. You’ll actually cut the monthly membership in half. So, if you need a discount promotion code, use the link. It will save you hundreds of dollars. I have to admit, I don’t quite understand the depth of the tools yet. But, I do see their benefit. For example, finding and adding backlinks to get more links to your site is invaluable already.
He used to have a 12 week program for free, but doesn’t offer it anymore. So, if you’re looking to learn about affiliate marketing, it doesn’t look like the place to go. It may be more for advanced affiliate marketers.
I also signed up for the Wealthy Affiliate a while ago. I have to admit, it may sound cheesy, but I learned a lot from them. So, I would highly recommend their program. It is also beneficial if you own a site. The forums are the best. Granted, you can use the Digital Point forums for a tremendous amount of knowledge. A lot of the people in Wealthy Affiliate and Shoemoney use these forums. So, if you’re looking to learn, I’d suggest the “>Wealthy Affiliate program. The entire program will last about 3 months, but it was well worth it.
