Send them links to a FREE training (video, text - any type of free content) and briefly mention you're also selling XYZ. This will make them trust you because they know you know your stuff and then they are more likely to buy from you.

Yes safelists are a worthy and viable tool to advertise and brand your programs online. Not all safelists are created equal however.  Here are a few things you should look for: Who is the owner.  Is the site owner well established or new to the industry? Adchievers owner for example has a small network of sites that have been online for many years, and I think its a good bet that he's not going anywhere soon

 

Also, from my experience if the site has a lifetime upgrade option, this greatly increases the likelihood the site will be abandoned in under two and a half years. In contrast, mailers with yearly fees almost guarantee greater admin involvement, leading to more effectiveness overall for both buyers and sellers.  Yes, it is a but more expensive this way but I believe they offer a higher ROI overall.

Great! Thanks for clarifying.

I absolutely agree. The best way to go about it is to define your product's UNIQUE selling point. If you can't think of 10 things/problems that ONLY your product can solve, you're in trouble.

Helpful article! Are the viral mailing lists such as Adchiever.com a worthy option? They are free for the most part but I doubt they can be successful since people only use them to send their own ads. Have any of you had any success using the viral mailing lists?

Hi, 

what should be done first? Building a website or buying a domain? I have already picked my niche and created some content but haven't published anything yet. What do you guys recommend? Is it better to build a website first, then buy a domain or vice versa?

Also invest time in proper market research. There's no point in promoting the highest-quality products if no one is searching for them. And when you write reviews, write about the good AND the bad. That convinces the customers of your honesty. 

Good tips. It basically boils down to the main points: 

-offer value/be useful

-give the customer a sense of urgency (call to action)

-post regularly

I have to say their free content is great. Regading AffiloBlueprint, I am not a customer of it, but it seems similar to Wealthy Affiliate, plus the AffilioTheme is in a price. It may be a good deal, there's 60-day money back guarantee too.. One thing, possibly it's members forum may not be very active to get live support fast, I have read about it. 

Yeah I like their free content too and it seems like it's enough to start the affiliate business.

It's a great time to start making money from cryptocurrency now. I heard some analysts predict it will hit $100k or even more but there are too many variables to make a bold prediction like that. Therefore it's smart to invest in multiple coins and keep track of the crypto news.

Hi guys, have any of you tried the Affilorama courses? AffiloBlueprint or AffiloJetPack? Is it worth the investment for starting an affiliate business? I'm planning to start a blog or two and curious to know if it is worth the price.

Thanks for sharing this

Tokenomy still works the best

The best way is to track the ads and see which sites are doing best, and focus on those.

Without a doubt. The problem is that plenty of sellers just scatter the ads all over the internet and then people lose interest in any type of ad because they see it as a spam.

Sites like Upwork, iFreelance, Freelancer are similar but Fiverr has by far the biggest traffic and a larger variety of services. The benefit that sites like iFreelance have is they let you keep 100% of your earnings. That may not mean much in the long run though. Like I said, Fiverr has a larger traffic.

Luckily, there are many other ways of advertising, FB is a waste of time. 

I've only been here for a few days and I really like the information from people more experienced than me.

I'd prefer social media marketing only if you have already build a respectable following (not follow-back type of followers but engaging readers with interest).

If you pick a particular niche, stick to it. Add value first and avoid spamming at all costs. Never give up, Affiliate Marketing is no get rich quick scheme.
