Invest in yourself and Learn about Affiliate Marketing

When you begin to try making money online, you'll hear a lot of people telling you to start with affiliate marketing and to invest in some eBooks or courses on affiliate marketing or internet marketing.. With former exposure to this field and experience in internet marketing, you may find it hard to choose one suitable for you. I do understand this, and when I just started out, I get scammed several times by people who is just the one-eye man in a blind country. But don't let this hinder you to invest your own education, with sufficient knowledge, you won't go far and make yourself a living on the internet.

There are some core aspects of tech skills and marketing concepts you need to get familiar with to kick up.

First, the one you choose should never involves some overnight, get rich quick scheme. If you are told that as a newbie with no list, and no experience, but you'll wake up tomorrow with a big amount of cash in your bank account, this is simply not realistic. I want to point out that even you are without a list, it's your aim to build one. Besides that, you need to have an offer/product to promote, so you need to get familiar with building your sites or your landing pages/sales pages to initiate all these. Thus, skills and knowledge in building sites and make them worked for you can't be over emphasized. I encourage you start out your site with WordPress to kick start.
You can find many, many videos on youtube teaching you how to build a site with WordPress, how to customize WordPress to your needs, and how to set up a sales page with WordPress. Below is a film for your reference, usually, the channel owners of the internet marketing niche provide a series of videos for you to get the skills for Internet Marketing.

Second, make sure the ones you chosen not just elaborate on paid traffic techniques. Often, the author will receive a commission through their affiliate links on paid advertising tools and sites they recommend to you, so their intentions aren't all in your best interest. Besides this, you should never focus on one method to drive traffic to your sites. Internet is always changing, one method used to make a killing might lose all its charm tomorrow, so you need to diversify your traffic source.There should be a healthy balance of organic targeted traffic (through search engine) and paid traffic.

And lastly, invest in one that will help you learn to choose a profitable niche and products that convert easily. Some marketers advise that you simply "follow your passion," but successful affiliates know that you also need to promote products that attract to a number of prospectus customers to make a living online. Don't be tempt to go for high-ticket products with low conversing rates or with very long buying cycles before you become savvy enough to profit from it!
