Build your list.

Rather than constantly sending traffic to new affiliate offers, send that traffic to a squeeze page.

It's far easier to share new affiate offers with your existing list than to rely on cold traffic.

My primary advice to a new affiliate marketer is to focus your advertising for the purposes of lead generation. Also, to develop a resilient (yet flexible) mentality. Mistakes can be discouraging and education evolves. Besides, most likely success will not occur overnight.

Take your time & research the opportunity before you spend any money with it. Look for an opportunity that will hold your interest. But you have to be motivated to build a business, not merely to join something that promises to do the work for you. Nothing easy is worthwhile or lasting.

I would say "Don't be afraid to ask questions and to request analytic information on the product you're requesting to promote." The product creator or service should  advise on the best where, what and how to promote said product as each person signing up has a different level of expertise, experience and economy from the other person promoting the product.

 

It must be a one prescription fit for every marketer as the guy  with 10 years experience, advanced marketing knowledge and Ten Thousand Dollar to spare in marketing campaigns has a completely different psychology and capacity than the guy who has just six months promoting affiliate programs with little knowledge and less than $50 Dollars available to set up a marketing campaign.

Find a few good affiliate networks.

Focus, persistence, form good habits, eliminate bad ones.

Take action. Know that the only way to reach your goals is to do the work, daily and did I mention focus?

Find a legitimate product that your markets NEEDS that pays you recurring commissions.

Learn how to embrace and learn from your inevitable failures.

Don't slow down until you can look back and say you're proud of your accomplishment.

Branding is also really important.

Whether you are branding yourself or promote an affiliate offer or site you should try to create a unique brand to help stand out from the crowd.

A very simple example of this would be to Create a name/website like Koi Pond Solutions (.com) to promote a koi pond guide/ebook. Rather then just promoting using the actual name of the product and be unrecognizable from other marketers.

People will naturally see you as more professional, an authority and will be more inclined to return to And be more likely to remember Koi Pond Solutions.

That will increase conversions.

I would ask them: Are you giving your prospects useful information about your business, or just shouting out how great it is? How do you make money when 95% are not? Stop doing the same thing they are! The First Rule of Marketing is to position yourself against your competition. If one person in a crowd starts waving a red flag they immediately stand out. But if 10,000 people start waving red flags it becomes impossible to pick out one individual.

 

Stop selling and start telling. Instead of hawking your offer like everyone else is doing start offering people information that will help them in their business... then offer your product as a solution to their problem. They will be more likely to trust you and people like to do business with people they trust and that have an interest in helping them solve their problems.

 

Write text ads, emails, articles, give away free reports and ebooks... give your potential customers something of value. Change your mindset to sell something to that of helping others get what they need to succeed and you will succeed.

With the rate of failure in affiliate marketing so high What's The One Piece Of Advice You Would Give To A New Affiliate Marketer in order to help them succeed?

 

To build a list is a great way to do it, but don't just send out a squeeze page without giving people great info on the product, as many are doing.

 

You can build a list via the product you are selling or you build a list separately, 

as eg in the program below, will you also build a list of your own, as well as making money, that program has also some squeeze pages, 

but I wouldn't sign up on those myself, so I bypass the squeeze pages and let people in on the page, after the squeeze page with full info and a signup link.

 

So the list I'll be making in this program, is only the ones who actually have made a purchase, 

but that's not too bad either, because then I know they are willing to use money, and inside the program is there a mailing system, where you can mail your referrals.

you can also set up your own autoresponder to the program. 

 

and then it is a100% commission program, so it doesn't get any better than that, does it?

Yeah it actually does, because it has a viral twist attached to it, as you will hear about in the video
