Will you guys share with me about your affiliate marketing story?

17 replies
Hi guys,

I'm just completely fed up !! Just so damn confused what to blog about or built a website on one particular niche. I'm running a blog NewUploads4u since few years. I had no attention towards my blog, had no views(may be 80-100 per day), not much posts(56 at current). I hardly get $0.8 - $0.20 per day(Few times in a week) ... LOL @ that !

I know HTML/CSS and learning PHP at present, Planning to built a website in few months on affiliate marketing... Guys, plz suggest me what niche would be the best one?

I'm basically from India, the competition is tough here, have no idea !

Can u guys share your success stories so that i can get inspired by u guys? I may get few ideas with ur stories though

Thank u
#affiliate #guys #marketing #share #story

    Your website is all over the place with so many products.

    I think that you should focus on marketing one specific product.

    Here's another tip:

    If you are earning very small commissions when someone buys a product ($0.20-$3.00), this is not the way to go.

    Find a product that can bank you anywhere between $40-$100 per sale on the front end and $100-$1,000 on upsells.

    Lastly, never give up. If others are succeeding, so CAN YOU.

    only one question comes up in my mind: why did u go so long with your website if you did not see any profit at all?

    i mean u could not change niche or system straight away without go further like this?

    by the way if you cannot make money just change system until u find what works, simple as that

        You shouldn't try to buy and sell domains. It's a much tougher business than people let on, and if you think making affiliate commissions with a blog was hard, whew! Don't go from one rocky road to another.

    Sure it is a long one so hold on for the ride!

    Like most beginners and newbies out there I struggled time and time again before I made first dollar online. I struggled a lot and failed a lot, until I found a simple easy method which made me my first dollar. So lets go to the beginning

    The beginning
    It all started in University . I was studying an Engineering course I later realized I had no interest and passion in. Something was missing. I wanted more, I did not want to graduate with thousands in debt, and go to a job which I would despise and work for most of my life.

    Back In December of 2013 I was watching some Bryan Tracy videos on Youtube on chasing your dreams. Then it hit me in my sleep. I woke up sweating and breathing heavily. A light bulb went on in my head. I decided that I am going to do whatever it takes become an internet entrepreneur and not have to work for anyone.

    The following week I officially dropped out of university and I told my mother that I am going into the world of business. My mother was not very upset with my decision but she still supported me which I love her so dearly for.

    She took me in and I loved her even more for that. When I got back home I was browsing some Forums of people and even kids making fortunes online. I decided to dig deep and it took me 1 month of learning, researching, reading, and asking a ton of questions to know what my first venture online would be.

    My failures

    I bought product after product, scam after scam some of which where image 2promising instant overnight riches by the push of a button. I worked my ass off most days. Some days I would work 12 hours non stop. Problem was I never made a dime.I lost a lot of money, and went through a lot of struggles for 4 months.

    Until I found a system where other people in these internet marketing forums where finding success in. Everyone was talking about email marketing and how profitable it is. I decided to learn more so I invested a lot of time and money to learn more about the email marketing business.
    The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success

    I finally hired a telephone coach who was making thousands of dollars per day. He showed me how to pick my niche, set up my opt in page, Autoresponder emails, Free report and Thank you page offer.

    I bought my first Solo Ad the same day and left my funnel to go to work. 5 days later I logged into my Affiliate account and saw 366.77 dollars from my TYP downloads. Yes I remember the exact figure. I was so exctatic and so happy.

    I immediately took that money and re-invested it back into my business and bought more traffic.. Eventually I gained about 5000 subscribers and made a lot of money. I was able to move out of home, find my own place, be independent and live a very comfortably without having a job! I have travelled to my dream destinations as well which has been awesome.

    Moral of the story

    The moral of the story is that if you really want something you have to have a burning desire to have it. Then you need to make a decision. Once you have made a decision you need to take action and do whatever it takes to get to where you want to go. You too can achieve this kind of success. If a young college drop out achieved so can you. But you have to do the work. Do the work( Which isn’t a lot by the way) and you will see the results.

      I also dropped out of College when I was first getting started online. You are 100% right when you say you HAVE to do the work, but you are even more right when you say it's really not a lot, at least in comparison to the typical 9-5.

      Great post my friend!

Firstly you can go different affiliate market places like clickbank or clicksure. You may see there are different kinds of product category that you can promote through your website. But for the beginners I always prefer clicksure because there are some make money product that really convert well.

      Also remember learning is always important for marketing and any other things. Keep learning. You can find different kinds of affiliate tutorial in youtube but I like udemy to learn the solid things. There will be free and premium tutorial but you can start learning from free tutorial, as I started !!

      Good luck buddy

    I posted my story about a month ago- Making My First Million Online- My Story

    You'll see that we started out on very similar paths with one key difference- I never tried to sell information across all the sites I've done over the years and people have respected me for it. The goal is to get your core readers first and genuinely help them, then tie in a monetization strategy...but never stop trying to take care of the people who come to you for advice.

    And that's where you've gone wrong- you're trying to sell me in your signature yet you're asking for very basic advice here. So without even visiting your website, I can tell you that what you're doing is not actually blogging- it's pumping out sales copy to try and sell people. Most will quickly see through that though and just walk away.

      kk075 Thank you. I've read your article, it's truly written from your heart. You followed your passion and it brought you to the right place. I've read some replies and while it's true, it's just a story, however, it's inspirational and some people can use it as a model, which is great! And I'd like to apologize in advance, not just for typos but grammar as well, I started to learn English at 41....and I was too busy making a living, so I haven't time for advancing my writing skills....Today is my first day at WF, and I was looking for some advice on how to succeed in online marketing and I was lucky to come across your article. Thank you

    Failed miserably in the beginning (invested thousands to earn NOTHING). Just kept learning, applying myself, and eventually...viola!...like "magic" I made a living online. Okay, not "magic"...just a lot of hard work and following directions from people who knew more than me at the time
