  Ok here is a step-by-step plan I took to make $70 in 2 days doing affiliate marketing.
  
  Step 1: I found out about internet marketing, through Googling on "how to make money online"
  
  Step 2: I found out about Knowledge Source, and signed up for their mailing list, and free ebook called Millionaire Phenomena, a few weeks later they mailed me with information about their Internet Mastery Secrets seminar that was to be held in Australia, some of the speakers included Andrew & Daryl Grant, Brett Mcfall, Matt & Amanda Clarkson, Tom Hua
  
  Being a member of Knowledge Source, I got a special discount so I phoned them up straight away and booked a seat. It was an absolutely life-changing experience!
  
  Step 3: There I meet a fellow 'teenage internet marketer' who also came along to the seminar, I asked him many things about Internet Marketing, such as "Which sort of Internet Marketing should I start off with?", and even "How much money do you make?" (he wouldn't tell me lol), After the 2 day workshop, networking and learning new things, he told me something that wasn't mentioned at the seminar at all. He said "Oh, and make sure you sign up for the Warrior Forum, you won't regret it", and he was right!
  
  Step 3A (I just remembered this after I wrote the entire post): I made a 12 month goal, 6 month goal then 3 month goal and wrote all the activities that I would need to do to achieve them.
  e.g "I am an internet marketer and make X$ a month" , then for that I would write down stuff like , Web Design, article writing, keyword research, seo etc...
  
  Step 4: Signed up for an email account, clickbank account (under parents name), and for the Warrior Forum
  
  Step 5: Emailed my friend to ask him what sort of marketing I should start, he replied "Affiliate Marketing"
  
  Step 5: Hung out at the warrior forum, and just read and read and read.
  
  Step 6: Read some more..
  
  Step 7: Found out about Chris Rempel, and bought Reverse Niche Selection, Conduit Method and his VIP Essentials Package (thanks Chris )
  
  Step 8: I then decided to enter the Weight Loss & Diet Industry.
  
  Step 9: Pulled together AUD$ 100, and decided what to spend it on.. made a thread here to ask some Warriors, it was finally decided that it would go to a Domain & Hosting.
  
  Step 10: I picked a webhost (Web Hosting Buzz), they had a great discount offer, it was like $30 for a whole year or something with free domain name, so after that I registered my domain name Unbiased Weight Loss Program Reports | The Weight Loss Reporter)
  
  Step 11: Using the VIP Essentials Package, I worked (if you can call it that) on a website for 2 days, it was completed and up and running.
  
  Step 12: The next day I found out more about Article Marketing, reading posts by Steven Wagenheim, Tiffany Dow & Daniel Molano to name a few.
  
  Step 13: I'll be honest here, and say that my first article wasn't all that great.. I basically edited some PLR content (I know... I am so ashamed of myself ) Submitted it to Ezine Articles and GoArticles, was going to submit to 21 other but couldn't be bothered
  
  Step 14: I signed up for 55 website directory submission services which cost like USD$7 or so. (So far only 5 of them confirmed)
  
  EDIT: Step 14A: I went to Yahoo Answers and signed up for an account, I posted about 5 comprehensive and detailed answers to weight loss and diet questions
  
  Step 15: I was being lazy, for about a week or so after my PLR content reedit I wasn't in the mood for article writing, so took a little "break"
  
  Step 16: Logged in than found $68.83 in my ClickBank account!
  
  Ummm... yeh that's about it.
  
  So as of Thursday 23rd October 2008, I have a site that is about 1 month old, one article for Ezine Articles & GoArticles, which got something like 10-50 visits (haven't checked), NO blog Squidoo or whatever, I have a Twitter (I don't know if this helps), 5 website directory submissions out of 55, and about 5 posts on Yahoo Answers and 2 sales equal to USD$64.83
  
  Thanks for the time you have taken to read this,
  
  TAKE ACTION!
  
  Peter Nguyen

Yeh, pretty much all the advice I can give everyone as a noob, is stick to one marketing strategy and persist, make really specific goals such as "I am an Affiliate Marketer and make X$" as opposed to "I will be an Affiliate Marketer and make X$". Then you should list all the activities you need to do to reach your goals. Write your goals in the present tense, as if they're already happening.

And last but not least, everyone tells you this and it's absolutely true...

Take Action!

I have to say that I am a little embarrassed about this, but here goes. My weight loss site is full of great content, nice graphics, blah, blah, blah. I did get signups for weight loss programs, so I can't gripe there, but so far have not gotten ebook sales. I now see the light. People, if you have a site and want to sell a product, go simple, make sure the customer has only one way out: to the sales pages of your offers. Nice job IMO.

Hi, Chris Rempel's Conduit Method (not sure if link is right, you could Google it). It's basically a strategy that revolves around making affiliate product review pages with a special twist. As Chris Rempel put it "You come across as a reporter rather than a reviewer".

I gotta go to Maths class now..

Congratulations on your sales, i can remember my first sale, it was the best feeling ever. You wait till you get the check through

"don't get caught up in any other opportunities -- stay focused -- reinvest your profits,"

I was reading down through the thread and this was one of the best pieces of advice i saw.... nice one Kyle Tully. It is so true you really need to make sure you dont get side tracked. Work on a project make it successful then move on, so many hop between projects and therefore leave some half finished. Disaster zone dont go there.

One thing to watch as you get older is balancing school with internet marketing, it gets hard but with the organization you have shown so far you will do well

I have just turned 18 and still at school by the way
