What's the best product for an affiliate marketer newbie?

hi there,
I am just curious, as what do you consider quality articles? I write a lot, but I am not sure if i am producing quality in every article(travel articles). Need some insight on this.

Work to learn.
Don't work for money

When you find your niche and your marketing method..Start a list ASAP.

The money is in the list...and it's been that way for a long time.

Good Luck and if you decide to try PPC down the road..

PPC Kahuna is the best choice of all the courses out there.


Here's to Success Good Luck,

I would recommend taking an inexpensive training course from someone with good reputation. I am currently taking one from Justin Michie. I have hard time keeping up with it etc. (I have full time job, family and other commitments) but I can't even tell you how valuable the training has been so far.

I recommend AffiloBlueprint as a good program to follow - you won't need anything else.

The Golden Rule is to do or follow whatever suits you, your personality and talents best. I have seen countless threads, where people are trying to find out what others do, without discovering their own talents first.

There are people who say article marketing is a great way to generate traffic, make lots of affiliate sales and sell PLR packs. This is great, but absolutely no use to someone who either can't write or hates writing and has no money to outsource.

Craiglist, Ebay - people stick affiliate links in here and make a ton of sales.

Social Networking - depending on what niche you're in, you can make plenty of affiliate sales this way.

Forum posting - again dependent on your niche, this can prove to be very successful

PPC great...No good, if you don't understand keywords and what makes people buy.

So you first need to put some ideas together for yourself and then re-explore what avenue to go down. By asking what's the best product others have started with, doesn't mean that product is suited to you.

There are now whole products and e-books dedicated to each of the above forms of traffic generation. First find what suits you, your personality and talents and then give it your all.

If you're not successful with one method, that doesn't mean that method doesn't work. It just means it didn't work for you. So time to either educate yourself further on that method, until you really "get it" or move on to the next thing. However, saying that, one common mistake that most noobs make (including me when i first started) is jumping from one thing to the next in the hope of making money, without ever actually putting my all into it.

To be honest, what finally worked for me was just putting up a blogger blog, finding a clickbank product in a non IM niche, i knew a little about. Writing a review and then submitting to Ezine Articles non-stop. I think i managed to write something like 76 articles in 2 weeks and over the next 6 weeks that produced approx 40 sales of a $15 commission product. So i only made $600 in my first 6 weeks of working properly, but that told me it worked! So then it was time to enhance my education, improve my article writing, try another method alongside this, etc.

My suggestion is to stop chasing after products, find what you enjoy and are good at first. Then if you need to educate yourself further, ask for suggestions on the best form of further education within your chosen field.

Cheers
