If you are a newbie to internet marketing , let alone affiliate marketing I am going to give you a few pieces of advice that any newbie can use to get his or her start in affiliate marketing.
You do not have to be some kind of marketing wizard but you do have to have some ground work.
I am going to show you just how you can get started.
Clickbank is the best place to start.
If you have not checked out their marketplace then you should.
They have thousands of products that you can choose from to promote.
Once you choose a affiliate product to promote and get your affiliate link you now just have to drive traffic to that affiliate link.
The more traffic and people that you send the more sales you are going to make.
Here are some ways that you can send traffic to your affiliate link - Craigslist Ads - Article Marketing - Press Releases - Forum Marketing - Email Marketing - Local Advertising - Blogging - Free Giveaway's - JV's The best method that I use is article marketing.
I love using article marketing because I am in control.
I have the power of how many articles I submit.
I know that with the more articles that I submit the more traffic I am going to get.
I once submitted 30 articles in one day to a few different directories and blogs and the next day turned that into 120 visits and 2 sales.
Once you start sending traffic to your affiliate link and you see that whatever method you are using is working you can then start to build an email list, so instead of sending all traffic to your affiliate link your send it to your squeeze page.
This is so easy a newbie can do it, get started with affiliate marketing.
