What is the best and cheapest way to get into affiliate marketing

I use wordpress with the optimize press theme and it does wonders for me. You site can be ugly is just needs to not confuze the eyeball. Yea, don't wast your time with fiverr and traffic unless you know the person.

Traffic is the easy part. Once you have a squeeze page it can convert very well on cold traffic which means it will not take very much traffic to see your leads coming in.

Cheapest way is not always the best way.

As you had an experience in trying to create a landing page, you most likely don't have enough experience (yet) to create one that actually 'Converts' into leads and traffic.

It's not so much that your site is ugly.

It's the fact that you don't yet know how to set a webpage up to get it to do what you want it to do.

Leave that stuff to the 'experts'.

Right now I use a 'Pre-made' lead capture page because it was made by people who know how to do that stuff.

Traffic is NOT the easy part.

Start by using the search feature above and search threads explaining ways to get FREE and Paid Traffic.

Lastly...

What's wrong with fiverr?

If you have gotten results with it in the past (don't know if you have), why can't you expand on what you 'already' know?

You can do kindle publishing man. You do not need to write it yourself, you absolutely can hire someone do that for you. Now is information age, so the information is so valuable, and that kind of job just only go up. Big opportunity ha.

You can start off doing simple free things like Blog commenting and Forum Marketing to get things rolling. They can both be effective

LOL you can disregard ALL of the "advice" you've gotten from these people. Nobody here is getting rich from selling ebooks or "information products", and nobody here is getting rich off of "affiliate marketing". Those are the facts, until proven otherwise. (Like James Randi's Paranormal Challenge)

For you OP, I'm assuming that you're in the continental United States (CONUS). Save yourself precious time and money and forget about internet pipe dreams...or any pipe dreams really. Are you in school? If so, continue to do well.

Live below your means
Don't give charlatans your money

Here are a few resources you will probably benefit from. You'll definitely get more out of these than chasing unicorns.

I really hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Affiliate marketing isn't all about being the affiliate.
Turn the coin over and discover the product creator who markets via affiliates.

Bingo. Bango. Bongo.

And, keep in mind, some of the critics you come across in life are indeed the same individuals most hurting, hence the criticism.

Just sayin'

Ok i read thru the comments here and i saw negative comments about being internet marketer. First of all it can work- i started few years back and i am full time internet marketer for 2 years. It will be best to learn about SEO because it is the cheapest and most efficient way to driving traffic. I'm not a millionaire nor rich but i can live comfortably from it.

Everything you need to know can be found on forums like this and youtube videos, if you try hard enough you will succeed.

Normally the 'cheapest' way is not the best way to proceed.
Normally going the cheap way will end up either costing you more in the long run or just plain failure.

I would start with going back to basics, read up on these forums and read up on ways to drive traffic, what landing pages look like, networks to work with, etc..

Then from there pick a decent traffic source (i'd stay away from fiverr), and a network to work with and start driving traffic to offers.

There are many ways to promote affiliate products on the internet. Your budget usually will determine what is the best path to take. If you have money for advertising then pay per click is probably the best option as most banner type advertising is untargeted and does not convert well. There are many pay per click services out there and Google AdWords is the biggest and most popular.

Unfortunately most people simply do not have the budget to go with paid advertising so this is where you need to focus on creating a website and promoting it using free tactics.

Add content regularly to your site as this will help to improve it in the rankings. Also you need to work on building back links ideally one way back links from as many related sites as possible. You can add your site to as many free directories you can find.

Remember that building a quality site does take time and give it at least 6 months to even one or two years of consistent effort before your site begins to rank well for competitive terms.

According to me, Youtube videos is one of the best way to drive traffic if SEO is done correctly.

You can have an autoresponder for free, you can have good places to get traffic for free. So you can start to build a mailing list of subscribers to sell affiliate products.

By the way free is not free => because you invest your precious time (and it's not free)

Affiliate marketing is an important technique to earning commission by promoting other people's product.
While doing this you will have to choose only that products in which you have experience.
Do seo and social media sites to get traffic.Use forum posting, question answer sites to get quality traffic on your website.

It is definitely a pathetic site to display.

I suggest you to read this outstanding article How to Make Money Blogging - Guide for 2015 that will guide you comprehensively through the process.

Hope this helps

Hi j13adidas you say you're a novice and I'll tell you I'm not an expert at affiliate marketing but I'm working at it for a while now and I know how you feel.

I started a few years back and I know what it feels like being the one who does not how things work but I have to agree with some friends here when they say many people online will tell you they're the real deal and they'll help you but what they want is take your money and thatis it.

Having said that it's also true that there are many people making really good money online and you'll be able to find great mentors as well.

Now before you get to that part please do not start buying courses just because they look great or because someone if pushing them hard.

I suggest you should start gathering awesome information that's available for free online so you get your feet wet and start learning about this awesome world of affiliate marketing.

Once you get your feet wet with free information you'll have some idea of what and where you can find better (paid) information.

Believe me I wasted a lot fo time and money when I started and it's frustrating.

I suggest you take a look at this post https://yesyoucanmakeitonline.com/ho...ver-the-truth/ it can give you some good tips.

I hope that helps.

I bought one Clickbank product as an experiment. I want to try different techniques to sell it. I'll see what happens!

A simple strategy you can use is to check the landing pages of your competitors to get ideas on how to improve your landing page.

You can create a new landing page on your own specially if you're using any CMS like Wordpress.

Stop using fiverr for traffic. It's an exercise in futility. Start using pay per click advertising (Bing Ads and Google Adwords). Hire someone to create a nice simple site for you, and do it immediately. If you want to do affiliate marketing with the domain name you already have (the piano one), find a related product on the affiliate networks, and promote using email marketing. It's a sure bet. Good luck.

The question is - is getting traffic from fiverr working for you? If it is, continue with it.

I suggest if you don't like the squeeze page, create another one and get traffic to both from fiverr and measure responses. You might want to also look at creating a new mailing list and measuring responses from individual funnels and then use the winner.

They call that A-B testing. Overall, I think you are looking for other routes to traffic to save money. Overall, test to find what works. Remember paying for traffic is probably the best thing you can do. At that, also consider advertising. Remember companies advertise, i.e. in your case getting gigs on fiverr, in companies sense, getting television adverts. There is no difference, so if it works, then do the A-B testing and go from there.

Also with what Randall said about getting other programs and promoting them would definitely be essential if you have a list, so work with both and you will be pleased with the results.

Most traffic gigs on Fiverr are crap. Sure, you can spend $5 on 10,000 visitors, but they are almost always untargeted and usually come from sites where people are given an incentive to visit your site.

Look for forums and Facebook groups in your niche, join them, participate in discussions, and establish yourself as an expert. You'll get more targeted visitors, who will actually be interested in what you have to offer.
