How did YOU find out about affiliate/Internet marketing?

ChrisBa · 10-09-2011, 02:33 PM

Just curious how everyone found out about this business??

bross · 10-09-2011, 02:47 PM

by searching on google under keyword "how to make some money online" or something like that..

Ruck · 10-09-2011, 03:00 PM

Heh, I was expecting more of an epic story coming from the man himself

Ruck · 10-09-2011, 03:57 PM

Sitting around in my underwear man playing video games and started searching. The beginning was pretty boring but the journey has been pretty crazy so far

bross · 10-09-2011, 04:04 PM

I must say that beginnings, well the first days, were exciting. Reading all success stories and promises of making thousands online easy way.. you know what I mean. Hopefully I didn`t go and blow my money away on stupid courses

First month was little boring though because you realize that some hard work, better to say a lot of hard work, will have to be putted in. After some time it goes well..

Chirpature · 10-09-2011, 04:07 PM

I did the same thing.

Googled: 'How to make money online' after I lost my desk monkey job. I'm still new to the whole Affiliate Marketing business but I must say... it's definitely more interesting than my old job.

Internet Lawyer · 10-09-2011, 04:29 PM

One of my clients was having a problem with his intellectual property case and when I took a look at his income statements he was pulling in around 6-figures pre-tax. I asked him what exactly he did for a living, and he said affiliate marketing. That was all I needed to know.

thad · 10-09-2011, 04:51 PM

saw a banner on a website. bought the product and didnt make any money

vj3660 · 10-09-2011, 07:46 PM

Its almost year ago.
I got to know about IM from one of my client.Actually i used to work for her as a freelancer.she is a very reputable person in UK IM industry but i was unaware of that.
I used to ask whether she z having more work since i was jobless @ that time.
She was like. Man do you know there is a thing called affiliate marketing and people pushing xxxxxx$ from that?I was like really never heard of it.
Then she bought me a domain and offered me free hosting as a xmas present.It was one of the best gifts i ever had had.

jeffrey73 · 10-09-2011, 07:46 PM

I first learned about affiliate marketing from a guy named Clint Lenard, the owner of Internet Marketing Training - Affiliit.com ( not an affiliate link ).

He is one of the most well-rounded online marketers I've ever met, no joke.

mtmjohn · 10-09-2011, 07:55 PM

Saw a GPT (get paid to read emails) banner on a site....

futuremills · 10-09-2011, 08:13 PM

was watching TV late night and saw a commercial for a make money online product, I googled the product and found it online. After reading the course i thought that I would be a millionaire in a couple of months. Two weeks later i quit IM due to the fact I failed a couple of ppc campaigns and thought it was not possible to make any money online.

A couple of years later I decided to give IM another shot after talking to someone who was getting some serious money online. Best decision of my life. Only regret is quitting IM as a 19 year old and not getting in on the berriez money or directlinking on adwords.

ChadH · 10-09-2011, 10:44 PM

I'm not gonna lie, my first exposure was buying The Rich Jerk ebook waaaayyy back... Then the boiler room called me but i declined the 6k coaching.

Then i forgot about IM for years.

In early 2009 i had to come back to canada since my dad got sick. So i just started reading forums and came across ppc coach, and thats how i started learning faster in the beginning.

Jesse M · 10-09-2011, 10:54 PM

I found CheatingNetwork.net then from there I found BlackHatWorld and then from there I found WarriorForum and started reading threads.

I was looking for a way to market my offline business online so I signed up for an internet marketing seminar. I learned a lot of new things and it opened up a lot of opportunities for me.

reigovilbiks · 10-10-2011, 01:24 AM

Here is my weird story:

Being an European backpacker in Australia working as a painter, made some money and went to Bali for a month. And while i was in Bali i thought how can i make enough money to stay in Bali? Got an random email about living in Bali and working ONLINE??

Started to search online what the heck is IM. Find out that most of the money is in the dating niche. So i bought a turnkey dating website for asian date named asiasuperdate.com ..spend over 1500$ on it and rubbed my hands as a future millionaire! FAILED big time. But i learned my lesson.

Luckily i had some hard earned money left working as a painter in AU. So i found out Nick Peall`s Mr. FBX program(Facebook marketing) - i bought it with 500$

Then i started to build my Facebook fan pages, spent over 1300$ on them..making no money at all at first, but then i figured out my own way how to make money with my pages..making 80 to 100$ a day at the moment.

At the moment i`m back home again but soon heading to AU to make some killing offline moneeey

..and then back to BALI!

KimboJim · 10-10-2011, 01:47 AM

In college I got fired from my "real" job and, like many people, looked towards the Internet for my riches. I first started writing for eHow, but I didn't understand how they made money. So I looked up what things like AdSense and affiliate marketing was, and that's how I found out about it.

Bali rocks,

Spent about 2 weeks out there last year after travelling round south east asia, was incredible.

I was first introduced to IM by someone who had made pretty decent money creating ridiculous ebooks such as "how to grow bigger breasts, naturally"

I thought it was all a gimmick and it wasn't anything you could build a profitable business from. One day after a 12 hour stretch at work I came home and just started scouring the web for more info, just to make a few extra pennies, I came across this site and tried everything, jumped from method to method never really committing to anything.

I then discovered CPA and committed completely, the rest as they say is history...

The key is sitting around in the underwear!

ChrisBa · 10-10-2011, 07:57 AM

For me... I had a friend who was well off.. the weird thing is he didn't work, and seemed to always be free and spending money on frivolous things, I bugged and bugged and bugged him.. he eventually told me he had his own business (for the longest time I thought he was a big time drug dealer), then after more and more bugging he told me about affiliate marketing.. dropped a few forums to me and told me to check out adwords, mediatraffic, adonnetwork and that's all I got..

Ironically he has since left the industry..

pacelattin · 10-10-2011, 08:40 AM

My first internet marketing project was a page that reloaded the status of Ultima Online in 1997. I put banners on that, make about $50k. I forgot how much the CPM was.. was ridiculous.

Kenster · 10-10-2011, 10:02 AM

Ended up going to an invite-only internet marketing seminar in Vegas...had no idea what the heck was being taught but that's when I got hooked. Went home, worked my tail off to fight the initial incline of the learning curve and the rest is history.

Love this game, love this business, having fun!

May we all continue to succeed and prosper!
