Newbie - Advice Needed!

by Matty C
13 replies
Hello Fellow Warrior Forum Members,

I am new to the Internet Marketing scene (although I have been reading forums and becoming more familiar with key terms and methods) and would like some advice on how to start up as an affiliate without spending a dollar.

Things such as affiliate products, where to promote these products, is blogging a good idea etc. that you can advise me to use and tips on how to pull traffic.

Even if you have a completely different suggestion to affiliate marketing, I'm all ears.

About me :

I'm 15 (I believe that, if i start early, I will have more chance of success)
I live in Australia, and I am very familiar with technology (especially computers and the internet)

I would like some help from experienced members who were once in my position, I plan to 'invest' some of the money I make into my own website and other expenses I may need to cover (Auto Responders, Paid Advertising etc.)

EDIT: I make $30-$50 a week from a casual job (and i work hard for it) which I think is pathetic, If i spent that time researching and implementing ideas and strategies on the internet, I know that I could make more

Thank You in Advance.

    Matty,

    I would start with Bum Marketing Method - Free Traffic Tips because it plays to marketing spending no money whatsoever and the methods actually work

    Free services like blogger, squidoo, any of the social networks, etc... are a great place to start learning.

    Find a profitable niche

    Find a product with an affiliate program

    Do little keyword research on the niche using Google and
    SeoBook, find long tailed keywords that are getting traffic.

    Write as many articles you can using your keywords and
    add them to article directory's.

    Make blogs and social hub pages and post some of your
    articles there as content. Remember to add your keywords
    into the "TAG" box.

    Do this and write as many articles as you can.
    After about a month you should be able to quite your day
    job!

      Hi Ebbi,

      May I ask you a question. Do you do the method above for yourself Ebbi?

      I'm also new in internet marketing and read several method how to make money online. Most ebook said to use the above method (same as you recommended).

      I always keep thinking to myself. It is really works?

      Please don't misunderstood me. I not looking for something that not required me to do work. I believe I have to do something.

      Just a matter of as a newbie they have tight budget and also have to be careful to spend their money.

    Hey it's great that you're starting young. I know this guy who started when he was 16. He's only 22 now and he's quite successful already.

    If you're completely new to this you need to first get the right information and have the right mindset to start off. There is a learning curve involved in the beginning.

    If you don't have budget to buy products and learn that way, there's a free ebook section on this forum. You should do a bit of research and get the general idea about what this game involves on the broad scope before getting into anything very specific.

    Also check my signature. It will help.

          This is my advice, use your knowledge that you already had from you research. I mean your IM research and try to find a business owner on your area offer them to set up the web site and help them to drive traffic to their web site, it's very easy way to make money. you can made $500-$1000 for 1 set up. I think that's the easy way to make money.

            This is what I was thinking, seeing as I do accelerated IT, 80% of my course is based around HTML (WYSIWYG Programs) I could find local businesses that need a website build and offer my services, if they truly wanted it to be 'out of their hands' I could also charge a monthly maintenance fee.
