Need advice for getting my wife started in affiliate marketing

Have you looked at Empower Network, or even Big Idea Mastermind?

They have great marketing training programs and is precisely what I would recommend to stay at home and inexperienced marketers.

I knew this one resource wich was very detailed, but I forgot what it's called.
I'll come back later when I remember it's name.

Empower network yeah if you wanna donate your money to the owners

There are a lot of quality affiliate marketing programs out there I would recommend going to the internet marketing product review section on this forum and look at the various reviews on the different products out there.

affilorama,wealthy affiliate, this forum, my blog they are all good resources for affiliates to start learning.

Get her to join the War Room and start reading and learning, at least 2 hours of serious study time in there on a daily basis. After 2 or 3 weeks she will know enough basic info to get started.

YouTube has good videos as well. She can learn how to do lots of things there. She can search for "create a free weebly blog" or "create a wordpress blog" or "how to create a paypal buy now button" etc. etc. etc. on YouTube and start learning that way...

Here is a simple explanation that I gave to some internet illiterate people:

"Do you talk with your friends about movies you saw and liked? Do you send them to see it? Do you share your experience about a shoe store if you liked their products and service?"

Most women answer - Yes!

"OK. So you will do the same on the internet, except you will get paid for every referral that buys something. Maybe your phone company or cable company or whatever company once already told you: tell a friend, send a friend and we will give you a month free or something like that".

Affiliate marketing is just that - only on a different scale.
You send me a buyer > I give you a "commission" (i.e. percentage) of my profit to you as a thankyou

Don't overcomplicate it with books and courses etc. The basic idea is nothing more tha what I wrote above.

Technicalities...? Well, that's another issue.

Hi EJM,

If she joins WF, I would be happy to steer her in the right direction. I do this for a living - helping mothers.

If she's interested in affiliate marketing, here are some ideas for her to consider in the meantime:

Newbie-Friendly Ideas for Moms

Single Product Review (Perhaps Aimed At Women):

1. Create a review landing page;
2. Drive traffic with Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, forums, groups.

Blogging:

1. Choose a niche she would enjoy writing about;
2. Drive traffic with the above, including guest blogging, social bookmarking, press releases, articles, pdf sharing sites, directories, create unique content, instagram, non-spammy commenting, viral content, offline promotion.

Article Marketing & Syndication

Article marketing is far from dead; the game has just changed. Instead of using EZA, consider other places to post articles where the resident site has authority. If you have money to invest, syndication is an option. EZA, actually, is still good for syndication (and free); just takes longer.

All of the above needs to be expanded upon (greatly), but maybe they'll give her some ideas to run with.

i am sorry to say you can teach the business but you can not teach the passion. my wife and brother have absolutely no passion for im....i think that is what makes us different and special in some ways.

Check out "www.affilorama.com/.

Try Affilorama. They have a lot of really great free information about making money with affiliate marketing.

OP. i'd recommend not buying anything mentioned in this thread. She needs to spend time reading free information herself for awhile to find the direction she wants to go.

I'll say this: If she isn't passionate about, or at least truly interested in affiliate marketing, it will be a waste of her time. Has she expressed interest in this?

If she has limited internet skills but she has a real interest in learning, she can succeed. There is a wealth of freely available information here on WF and elsewhere, which would provide her with almost everything she'd need.

If she has limited internet skills, and limited interest in pursuing this, I'd say this isn't a great idea.

Tell her to join Wealthy Affiliate - Online Business Starts Here (free) and learn all about how building a website and making money online works.

Then, she can come to the WF and ask about everything she doesn't understand.

And finally, she can put what she's learned into action. Of course, you'll help her every step of the way.

If she is taking up affiliate marketing, she needs all the tools to make her successful as quickly as possible and the with the right tuition.

Make sure she's as excited about the idea as you are. Otherwise, her interest will fade quickly. Find a topic that not only has a good market potential -- but that she'll enjoy reading, learning and writing about.

She can probably find all the information she'll need here on the forum. If anything is unclear -- many people will be happy to answer her specific questions.

Good luck! Rose
