Don't Make This Mistake...New Affiliate
Copyright 2004 By Michelle Cobbs
Joining more than 2 programs at a time is something you don't want to do. I did this when I started as an Affiliate. If I were to advise a 'newbie' getting involved online I would tell them to promote, market or endorse only '1' product or service at a time.
Why?
You should concentrate your energies on one thing at a time. Having 10, 20 or 30 diferent affiliate programs floating all over is not the way to go. Take it from someone who knows.
A plan is to start with 1 or 2 programs, you want to duplicate the success you have from the first program to the second, third or twenty the key is to do that over and over again. Once you have the formula down it will work with anything you do.
I regret not doing this today, I am an affiliate for over 100 programs believe me there is no way I can effective endorse all of them in the manner I should.
Here are a few tips I now use today, you too can learn from them as well.
1. Buy the product or service and use it. How can you endorse something if you yourself has not tired it.
2. Build your website with the neccessary banners or text links with your own descriptions of how, what or why you like the product or service.
3. Endorse the product or service from your website ONLY you want to get the traffic to your website this is key to your success.
You can build it, but they don't come without you helping them find where they need to go. Today I can say I have finally found a technique that is working for what I want to do.
