Newbie looking for some advice
I am new to the whole Internet Marketing scene. I am a website designer, but I want to do something else, I want to get in to affiliate marketing, run some campaigns, design some awesome landing pages, etc. I want to do more than just design websites for other people who will be making money, and I only get a small one-time fee.
I've read a LOT. I've read so many blogs, articles, videos, podcasts, webinars, e-books, etc. The only thing I need help with is that starting point.
I tried to apply for all the top affiliate networks, but I got denied because I don't have experience. I also didn't know what to put for my website URL. I don't have a main website, I was planning on designing unique landing pages for each offer.
I don't want to use Clickbank to promote e-Books or anything, I really want to try the CPA offers.
So, since I got denied to all the networks, I decided to try marketing e-cigarettes, since I saw that everyone can apply. It is called GreenSmoke, they have a nice system, and they give you excellent banners of all types and sizes to put on your website.
I created my own domain, and got a nice design going.
SafeSmokeCigs . com
I went to go try some PPC, and set up some campaigns, but both Facebook and Adwords will not allow that type of ad. That really brought me down, since I was willing to invest in some money to test out some campaigns, but now that I can't do that, I'm not too sure what to do. I know I need to write articles, I'm just not sure what keywords to attract and all of that, I don't want to invest money for people to write articles for me, but have everything be wrong.
I don't even think my site is right. When you go to SafeSmokeCigs, it is basically just information on the GreenSmoke product, along with some Promo Codes. I display advertisements so they can click on it and actually get the product. Should I do this differently? I think sometimes maybe someone will go to the site, but not have any idea what to do since there is no "Order Now" button, I just expect them to click on the advertisements.
So next, I should get articles written, right? I can set up a blog, the site is under Wordpress. Do I write articles on How to Stop Smoking? Why to switch to E-Cigs? What keywords should I target? E-cigarettes? How many articles should be written?
Is there anything else I should do? I don't have any mailing lists, or things to offer in exchange for their Name & E-Mail. Is that something I should do?
Sorry for the long post and so many questions!! I just feel like I have a great start with a nice looking website, well laid out, I just need help on the technical aspect, such as targeting the correct keywords and ways to get traffic to the website, where they can click on the ads or somehow get to my GreenSmoke referral ID.
Thanks so much everyone.
