Newbies! Start with Amazon Affiliates, here's why
Just a while ago I was new to Internet Marketing, and it was so easy to get lost with all the options out there. There's CPA, Adsense, Clickbank, Offline Marketing, offering writing/SEO/design services freelance, and many more. The internet is literally a whole new world of opportunities, so much that it may even feel daunting.
It took me a while to make my first sale online, because I was shifting from method to method, looking for the best one.
Guess how I made my first sale?
That's right - Amazon affiliates. I'm still good money from it, even though I have diversified my income quite a bit.
Here's why I think Amazon affiliates is the right place to start for a newbie:
It's much harder doing affiliate marketing for digital products (Clickbank, for example) because people are usually more apprehensive about buying a digital product over a physical product.
With this apprehension in mind, people often go the extra mile with new techniques and skills, amongst them: building "high-converting" squeeze pages, dabbling in SEO and pay-per-click advertising, learning to write good copy, and it can get quite daunting - a newbie might just feel lost at times.
This is not to say that these skills are useless, however, they certainly are! The aforementioned skills are extremely important, but for a newbie it would be wise to start off one step at a time.
That's why Amazon affiliates is great: you learn to do keyword research, SEO, and you learn to write reviews to gently persuade visitors to buy. That's manageable for beginners, don't you think? You get to learn some VERY important basics! Start with Amazon, then as you get better at your skills of persuasion you can learn to write good copy for Clickbank/product creation.
Most people get burned out not making their first dollar month after month. For some people, it can take a loong time before they first start earning, and many will get disheartened and give up. In my opinion, it doesn't get much easier than Amazon affiliates. Earning your first dollar that much quicker can be excellent motivation.
I hope this helped!
Godspeed, newbies.
