I’m a beginner, need some help!

[jamesaaland]

I wish to start making money online. Just enough to pay a few bills etc. Is this asking too much? At present I am unsure which area to go into. Affiliate marketing looks possible. But there are so many e-books/courses I do not know here to start.
Therefore, I have decided to ask for advice from other members. What are the pitfalls or the chances of being sold a dud product or course. Can you recommend any products?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi James

I would take a step back and do some planning on what kind of stuff you´d like to sell first. This is a good article on this subject

How To Become A Successful Affiliate Step One: Create A Great Site

You can't display advertisers on your site if you don't have a site on which to do it. You could cobble together a site that's simply a blank page to slap ads on, but that isn't going to attract many advertisers or much traffic. If you really want to succeed as an affiliate, you need to put serious thought into what your site is going to be.

Do What You Like

Not that many people actually love auto insurance. That's okay. The point is not to pick your overriding passion but you should pick something that interests you, something that will get you to want to work on the site very day.

If you have always understood the need for insurance and the desire to get affordable insurance to those who need it, a site based around insurance may be for you. On the other hand, if you work in real estate, a site geared toward finding good mortgage loan rates and great deals on housing may be just right.

Take Your Site Seriously

Even if your affiliate marketing site has appropriate content, you don't want to just throw everything together. Remember that you are trying to attract people who may stop at a site for only a few seconds. As a result, you need an eye-catching design and interesting content. People won't stay on your site and click ads just because you want them to.

Creating a site is just one part of a successful affiliate marketing strategy. Once you have a site that you are happy with, you are ready to move on to other factors that will place you firmly in the affiliate marketing world.

Hi James,

It can be overwhelming when you are new to this business.

Affiliate marketing is about building a relationship with people.

If people like what you say then they will buy from you.

A good idea is to build a list of subscribers to an email newsletter or blog in a particular niche and periodicaly recommend a product to them you are an affiliate of.

For example, if you have a newsletter about weight loss you could promote affiliate products to do with weight loss to your readers from time to time.

I would only promote products that I have tried myself so you maintain your good reputation with your readers.

Hope that helps...
