I am planning on writing a business plan for my Internet Marketing plans. I am a beginner internet marketer, and I like the Google Sniper method the best. My affiliate strategy will follow most similarly along the lines of google sniper. I have yet to find any success as an IM and I am thinking about getting a loan. I want to build a team which will be able to help me be able to build a succesful affiliate network. Is this a good idea?

    you can't go wrong with planning, as long as you also take steps daily to meet your goals.

    as far as building a team, what exactly do you require of them? If its just knowledge, then you have a team of thousands of ppl on this forum who will help you.

    I'm confused.

    When you say that you want to build an affiliate network, do you mean like a bunch of sites promoting affiliate products?

    I assume you don't plan on starting the next Clickbank or CPA network.

    You mean affiliate sites network right?

    Well, planning is good, implementation is the best. Knowing what you're doing...priceless.

    Before you go spending, make sure you know what you're doing first..just some caution to lessen the risks.

      Hey,

      I agree with #Mary on this one... make sure you know what you're doing before you go taking out loans and investing large sums of money into this new found idea of yours.

      Just preliminary pre-cautions from my Business Start Up 101 (personal experience) LOL.

      Hope this helps,

      Colin

      P.S - love the ambition tho.

    Well building and affiliate network for beginner marketer might be to early. I would get more experience first so your plan might be more accurate after.

    No.

    You need a much more defined likelihood of profiting before scaling up. Otherwise, you are compounded a small loss into a large loss.

    My advice...and it's just my thoughts....

    I would get a certain sum of money. Let's say $200 for starters. I would sit down and pick 1 or 2 methods, read all I can and burn through that money first giving the efforts everything I got. And I mean "Everything".

    Internet marketing unfortunatley is not like other businesses....until you get some experience. Then it can be treated like any other businesses. As a newbie, you really don't have a realistic expectations of your capabilities. Some people hit $100/day in their first 30 days, some go a year without making money.

    I say do very little planning ,maybe plan the next 30 days and then TAKE ACTION. Then plan the next 60 days. Then you will have an expectation and can make longer term plans.

    I'm just afraid you might spend a lot of time and energy making a plan, then get your site googled slapped, or can't get conversions, or a cpa offer gets pulled, or a cpa company doesn't pay you, or your adsense account gets banned..(you see all the things that can go wrong?) and then get discouraged.

    Plan a few weeks, then a couple of months and then go big. Just my suggestion.

    Eitherway good luck. The forum will always be here (unless the server goes down)! lol. J/k

    Not sure you shouldn't be going for gold here. It's actually easy to start an affiliate or CPA network using Hasoffers and if you can make it a success, the loan could be just the kick-start you need. If it's a success you will easily pay it off and you have the motivation to do so.
