Beginning Online As an Affiliate
Marketer
By Anne O'Dwyer
So you have decided to set up a
business online. You have found and read many books on the subject, Googled
loads of keywords and visited forums and Facebook groups. You have decided
affiliate marketing is a simple starting point, and have decided to retain your
job for the moment. You have decided how much time you are prepared to invest
in your new business, and realize it will take some time to learn the new
skills required.
First I would say unless you are very
confident find a mentor, rather than beginning on your own; someone who's
products you like and trust and who's teaching style you find inspiring. You
may find recommendations from forums or Facebook groups or YouTube. Sample some
products. Spend plenty of time on the initial stages investigating and choosing
a niche.
Decide on a topic you want to learn
more about, that you would be happy to invest time in, in fact something you
feel passionate about. Test your chosen niche for profitability. A good
starting point; are there plenty of books on Amazon on your subject and
magazines on the racks? Test keywords and see if there is a "hungry
market" of buyers with disposable income, if so you could be looking at a
winner. If you are serious about building a successful business initial time
spent is imperative. Treat your business as you would a new hobby enjoy the
time spent learning all the new skills.
If you are completely new to working
online and you initially want a very simple way to begin you could start by
only recommending your mentor's products and linking to existing squeeze pages.
However to make the real money and optimize your time and effort you need to
build a list of your own. These are prospective buyers, who you can sell other
products to later. Build your email marketing sequence, your range of products
and your reputation; really take control of you business and your life.
Later if you wish to you can write
your own eBooks and courses, make DVD's, give lectures, coach, the sky is the
limit, depending on your aspirations and desires. Or you can simply sell
ClickBank or Amazon products or choose products from similar distribution
websites. Affiliate marketing can lead on to such a wide and varied spectrum in
so many diverse niches that you will never be short of choices. Just make a
START and see where your future leads you! Affiliate marketing is a great way
to start working at home.
