Here are my intakes for newbie affiliate marketers -

a. Start promoting one or two affiliate products in the begining. Start small and then grow big.

b. You should know your affiliate products well. If you don’t know what exactly you are promoting, then you can never make that first sale. I strongly, believe, you should try out the affiliate product first by buying it. See what it can offer in it’s members area, video training, free bonus resources and more. Don’t just promote your affiliate product for the sake of promoting.

c. Do a affiliate marketing course. If you want to be a successful affiliate marketer, you need to invest some money to purchase a nice affiliate marketing course program which can offer you video material courses, valuable insights, the shortcuts and many other relevant information. This saves your time by not wasting your money on experimenting with other strategies to promote your affiliate product.

d. In order to be a successful affiliate marketer, you need to invest. This phase is initial, but trust me, this will pay you off well. Now when I talk about investments, it could be things like, buying a program which will help you to create a landing page and even investing in an autoresponder email program, such as Aweber or Get Response.

e. Never directly promote your affiliate products. This for me is a cheap form of affiliate marketing and you will not be successful in even making your first sale. This is my hand down experience and I have learned this the hard way. There are ways to promote an affiliate product, such as, luring your visitors to your landing page were they need to sign-up with their details and then followed by a Thank You Page. You need to convert your visitors into valuable leads. This should be your target. The more leads you will be able to successfully generate, the more you will be able to prospect them with other various affiliate program offers.

f. Offer value and NOT Spam!! If I am a customer, I need to know what will be my benefit to purchase your affiliate program and what bonus materials I shall receive. So, if you want to promote an affiliate program, offer a good one, which is trending well in the market and also offering a good commission structure payout to its affiliates.
