Relatively new to the game and overloaded with info

Hey All,
I am new to the forum(so new I haven't even created my signature yet) and relatively new to affiliate marketing. I have a couple of sites up with no traffic of course and just working my way around trying to figure it all out. I would like to understand what I am doing before I start paying someone else to do it(outsourcing). That way I know what I am paying for. Hopefully I will get some good info here and maybe share some of what I have learned in my thousands of hours online!

 

welcome to the board, hopefully you can share some of your knowledge with us.

 

There is lots of good info here but stay away from the obvious idiots trying to scam people every day with a new system. You know, this type of person who introduces a new ebook every other day:

Find people who offer real info for free in their posts, not fools who offer get rich quick scams and gimmicks.

 

Thank you Browntwn, That is definitely the first thing I learned. there is no get rich quick program. I am learning how to distinguish the phony's and the bogus offers. And hopefully foreveryoung, I can offer as much as I take away.

 

Hello there, when you have a site that has no traffic (it might be new) it takes about 3 months for search engines to pick it up. I also suggest, you find info on increasing traffic on your site. Learn SEO to gain organic traffic. Use social media and visit other blogs (pref those in the same niche as you) to gain following.

 

Hello...Glad you're here at the DP...As you embark on your internet marketing journey, watch out for information overload...You're right about one thing: Get a basic understanding as to how internet marketing works before you start outsourcing your work...You'll be glad you did.

 

Hey there, welcome to the forum, best advice I can give a new affiliate is never give up, Your initial campaigns may not turn a profit, but in this game, it takes money to make money. Try, try, try again!

Good luck mate!
