I thought I would see if there was anyone out there that is accomplished at the affiliate game that was interested in helping a relative noob get a good foundation ? Me ? I am a mid 30 (yikes that is starting to sound old!) marketing/sales director for a very large insurance company. I have run a few small businesses in my weekends but none currently. I am fairly technology/web savy. I have affiliate accounts, adsense account, aweber account, light web skills, good english skills (I only speak English and gibberish ). I have a few bucks to invest to learn but would prefer to direct them in positive directions instead of randomly where the ebook of the week suggests. I am looking for a part time venture to suplement my full time income ... daddy needs a new motorcycle but shhhh dont tell the wife ! I am hoping there is someone out there that could use a hand running their campaigns so I can get hands on learning that I can slowly take and try myself. I am not opposed to a partnership of sorts so that my learning is profitable to the teacher if required. Ideally I would like someone that has skype or similiar so the delays of typing and email arent an issue and we can talk live when called for. If this sounds like a fit or you are willing to help please PM me and we can see if we can work together. Cheers
Yes I would be happy to work with you. I am in the insurance vertical in the US. Ong me via IM, PM or Email. I have been in the industry for 8 years.
merk13: your honostly very lucky that experieneced has messeged you, ive asked for roughly the same idea when i first started, and got absolutely nothing besides "i can give you advise, buy your own domain and hosting"
Hi, I know this post is a little old but not too old to go against the rules I hope. If it is my apologies. I am currently looking for a mentor for affiliate marketing. I owned a direct marketing company for a few years (offline telemarketing, b2b lead generation, direct mail campaigns etc..) My passion is online. I see untapped potential for money online, and so I started developing. I am now a freelance web application developer and spend my days starring down thousands of lines of code and am loving it. I have spent the last 2 years doing this and now that others have paid me to teach myself web development, I am ready to venture off on my own projects and affiliate marketing seems like the logical first place to get my feet wet with developing traffic and general SEO strategy building. I have all the skills from a tech side, I bring to the table the ability to develop any application you can think of, and I have a background in marketing that may come in useful. I am reading anything and everything available and there seems to be contradictory information out there .. not surprising .. so success what I am trying to say is that success will happen, I am just looking for someone who can save me some time by learning a good foundation. If there is anyone out there who is interested in helping, profit sharing is of course expected so you wouldn't be doing this for nothing and I can help out where I can with any development you may need. Looking forward to hearing replys. Cheers.
So is that good advice or bad advice that not all advice is good? lol ... I am not asking for anyone to give me their secret to success. Maybe if they could help me with any way that will work just to start off not nessessarily THEIR way. Even a direction or to answer a few questions like ... are places like CJ or CB worth while or a big waste of time?? etc.... Thanks,
hehe I'm not trying to be an ass, just remember test everything yourself and dont just put all your chips in 1 place without testing your waters a little
Hey, I was only kidding, thanks for the advice though.... maybe ... you might like to continue with a little more advice ... hint hint, wink wink, say no more ... really, there has to be a great way to affiliate market, a bad way, and some inbetween... I dont even want an inbetween way ... just let me pm you my contact details and we can chat in email or phone about all the bad ways to get into the game... I have all the best traits to make us both big money... I am obviously persistant from these posts ... and I love developing so I know I already like the most boring thing in the world .... lets get together and make some major money. Then we can go to vegas and blow a bunch on hookers and drugs ...lol.. I am just kidding, I dont do drugs. cheers.
I am also looking for an affiliate mentor. If anyone can help I would appreciate it greatly. I don't mind spending some money to get started. I have an aweber account. Just looking for a way to make about $3000 extra a month. I look forward to hearing from you.
We plan to start 1-1 coach next month, free for our pubs who can only earn $300 per month and want to increase their earning.
May I ask how many subscribers you have got on your Aweber account, you seem pretty knowledgeable than a lot of the "gurus"
