Affiliate Marketing for Dummies - Getting Started

This article on affiliate marketing for dummies is for people who join affiliate marketing without aclue on what to do or where to begin, but don't worry this happens to the best of us. If you're like methen the moment you stepped into the affiliate marketing world you were overwhelmed by all theresources, tools, and training that jumped at you, that's if you had a good sponsor (we'll talk aboutthat in just a second).

You must ask yourself, what caught your attention most in the industry? Was it the incomeopportunity, working from home, not having a boss, or just a little bit of all three? Maybe you justwant to be successful and start helping people who want change, people who deserve change. Eitherway I have a few tips for you newbies out there.

Research, Research, and More Research

Before you even think about joining you have to do some research on the program that interests yousuch as proof videos, article reviews, company history, the company compensation plan, etc. This isa good way to really find out if the company is a scam or not. Don't be one of those people who see 8positive reviews and 1 scam review and end up thinking it's a scam, those people are looking forevery reason not to join.

If you made up your final decision then try not to hesitate. I had this same problem with hesitatingand it did me no good, why? Well you have to be 110% sure for every decision you make when itcomes to choosing a company but don't get me wrong I do not want to feel like I am forcing youbecause at the end of the day the decision is all yours. I'm only here to provide information and valueto you.

Find a Good Sponsor

Before you join any company you have to make sure you're signing under a good sponsor. I canspeak from experience, I remember joining without knowing anything about affiliate marketing, Imust have joined under the worst sponsor alive. Your sponsor needs to provide you the training andresources you need to get off on the right foot because if not then you're going to kill time findingthis all out on your own.

There are a lot of people who come to other sponsors asking for help because their own sponsorsabandoned them. They may provide help but you have to understand that the good sponsors havetheir own team to help out first, but don't expect for your sponsor to hold your hand througheverything. You need to put in your own work because this is your business, a sponsor will only putyou on the right foot and guide you whenever you're lost but he will not make the money for you, youhave to work and earn it yourself.

Investing

Don't think you will make money just by joining a program, no, you need to invest in tools like that'llhelp you move forward. This is critical for your business, you need to think like a marketer whichmeans investing and learning effective marketing techniques. Have a 'marketers eye' go outside and

look at all the advertising signs and how they put their words together. You can also get thecompanies number and maybe do your own advertising. Just an idea ;).

The wonderful thing about investing in a work from home business is that it's super cheap, the onlything you need to be aware of are the monthly payments most companies ask for. To open up a fastfood franchise can cost you over $1,000,000 at times, landscaping businesses can cost up to$500,000, online businesses can cost up to $5,000 depending on what program you choose, not badright? It's actually mind blowing. Network Marketing came first in the total globe sales as of 2012ranking over the many industries like the music industry and gaming industry with over $165 Billion.This alone should motivate you and pump you up to become successful in this industry.

A Little Bit of Me

I, personally love everything about this industry it has taught me so much so far. It has reallychanged the way I think forever and I know it will do the same for you if you stay focused andpositive. My goal here is to help everyone in need because that's what attracts me most and it shouldbe the same way with you. Don't just do it for the money do it because you want to, do it because youhave that burning desire and faith that you will succeed and watch these same emotions open manymany doors for you.

I believe network marketing will be the future and I also believe the 97% fail percentage willdrastically decrease within the next few years. Why do I know this because what goes up must comedown and if the fail percentage rate is that high then the only way from here is down, especially withall the resources we have on the internet we just have to take advantage of them and use them tothe fullest extent.

Ask yourself, where will you be 5 years from now. Do you think you will have the successful life ofyour dreams? Do you see your hands on the steering wheel of your dream car? Do you see yourhouse up on the hill? You need to dream and dream big and take action everyday.
