Returning affiliate marketer, forgotten much of it, looking for simple, reliable program

No, I can't nor can anyone else. If you want guaranteed money on demand (like the amount you're asking) get a job.

If you want a step-by-step afffiliate marketing guide, get AffiloBlueprint by Affilorama. Be sure to get their free training at Affilorama.com

Your budget can easily cover a domain name, web hosting, and an autoresponder service. That's all you need to make a solid income with affiliate marketing (as far as overhead is concerned).

P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your social phobia issues so don't take the "get a job" thing personally. I feel bad for that statement in light of your condition. I apologize. However, the rest of what I said still stands. I wish you the best.

Thanks, those were the kind of services I was talking about.

Of course, my main concern is that they might well guide you by the hand and get you to create wonderful sites, and even choose the niche quite well, but these days, affiliate marketing is such a competitive industry, I could put all that work in and get almost nothing, and then, as happened to me before, I'll have to start again on a whole new project.

I get what you're saying though, maybe there are ways to make guaranteed money online, but they are services that guarantee that you won't go that far, like writing articles or filling out surveys...

To be honest, I used to sell jewellery online for a wholesaler of my Mum's, as well as her art and craft products as a separate business, and so it's going to be hard to get back into just the jewellery selling on Ebay, but the nascent jewellery had major advantages, like, the items are small, leightweight, generally much higher value, and more popular on Ebay.

I could run nearly everything from my flat and only need to leave most of the time to hit the Post Office three times a week...Sorry, this is getting off topic, but I would have guarantee of making some money there, he paid me a commission for each sale....

Hmm, so hard to compare the two. Of course, for someone with my issues, the idea that affiliate marketing can be managed entirely from home and entirely on your own time are serious benefits in its favour, I'm such a night owl.

Thanks for recommending those services, I'd heard of them before, maybe I'll go that route...Maybe dabble in a bit of both.

There is nothing guaranteed in online marketing, that aside, here are a couple of courses that are step by step that can help you gettng started and make money from being an Amazon Affilaite:
1. Extreme Review and Straight Line Amazon Passive Profits - shows you how to pick a niche and write reviews with step by step instructions
or
2. Pajama Affiliates Home Blogging And Affiliate Marketing Course - again step by step and with real live examples.

Neither course requires an ongoing membership fee, nor is there building backlinks other than social media. Your ongoing costs will be hosting and time for writing reviews and articles for youer blog.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience.

In my opinion, the best and most trusted way to earn money for life is starting with your own niche blog.

Write some 20-30 long informative articles, post it on your blog, and promote all over social media.

Once you get a good number of visitors, apply for Google Adsense, Amazon Affiliate, and Yahoo Publishers program.

Continue writing, posting, and promoting blog content for life.

Sorry to hear about your "Issues" but just like so many before you (If i had to guess, more than half) turn to MMO as a last resort, a Hail Mary so to speak... And they all are after the same: easy money, guaranteed money, step by step instructions etc. etc.

It's desperation and hope which more often than not leads to failure, the MMO "business" is tough to crack. If you didn't suffer from these ailments i would tell you to get a steady job first, so that you can restart your IM under less pressure to succeed and build from there....

I know someone who is an expert in affiliate marketing..but his consulting fee is high..but still it is worth it..i would recommend his personal coaching since it would be better since you are just starting out...

What you are looking for does not exist, and if it did, you would need to add some zeros to the $40-50/month price tag (I don't feel like looking up the accent code for the Pound Sign, or whatever its proper name is, lol).

And you need to give serious thought to salesguru's post above.

And you need to understand that the solution to things like your anxiety are not to be found in Aff Mkgtng, nor in a stack of money. If that's your life right now, and you need to find a way to make money with those issues, you can, but ya gotta separate them from business, and not make the solution to those problems reliant upon the success of an online business.

And there is a significant portion, the majority, actually, of the 7,000,000,000 people walking around Planet Earth everyday that have to, day after day, do a bunch of crap they don't want to. Like how you feel about trying to sell some writing.

Whether you want to or not, you need to make some money, because 40-50/month is NOT enough to start, maintain, and grow an Affiliate business in 2016. CERTAINLY not in as competitive a niche as you are talking about jumping into. You need to make money. From everything you have said in this thread, I would suggest your only real option is to try to get a few thousand saved up from writing, while YOU are educating YOURSELF about the different business models people have had success with, and then how you can apply/adapt that to your situation. And don't expect it to come overnight or without potential HIGH AMOUNTS OF STRESS. Can you handle more stress in your life right now?

Salesguru is right - MOST, the vast majority, who visit a site like this and say to themselves, "I am going to make a fulltime living via IM," won't make it. If you are planning on solving your issues (not the financial ones) by selling a diet pill via IM, well, I am only trying to be helpful when I tell you that you need a new plan ...

If you sell any, you should be able to scale it up. Recruit other producers on consignment.

Think BIG! It's best to be the boss.
