Im looking for someone that can guide me from A to Z skills and technic in doing affiliate... Ive been doing it without proper plan and im really dissapointed for the return.. Really looking for help, reading materials, blog does not suits me.. I need a mentor... cheers!
There were some gurus who were looking for protege's, but I suggest, reading and reading and then experimenting and experimenting to develop your own style of business is the best way to go. There is nothing like self learning, and experience is the best teacher as they say! Only it takes exams first and teaches you later.. WHat you need is self motivation and some patience.. Don't expect to become a success overnight. It takes a lot of patience, and many experiments.. Just my two cents Do you read www.superaffiliatemindset.com?
thank you.. i do admit that im doing all the readings.. try to do like what any expert did.. but i still didnt get the positive result.. thats y i need someone to coach and mentoring me so im not trying to do evrything... means try to do almost anything that can turns money when at the end, NOTHING... another part, im not an US citizen and this might seems the disadvantages for me but yeah, lots of international people able to do that~ why not me??? i dont wanna give up but i really need a direction, or else.. ill be NOTHING... :|
OK, I would give one more suggestion: Stopping experimenting for sometime: First know the basics. Everybody swears by Perry Marshall's ebook on adword. So read that up. You do need to become an expert on adwords first. Then: Read all about copywriting and ad copy. This takes a very very long time. Only those with a gift for adcopy writing makes succes FAST. For the rest, it takes long time to study this. You would want your ADCOPY such that ONLY Qualified LEADs click on the ad.. IE: You don't want any free riders to click on your ad do you? That needs patience.. Professional Ad copy writers are usually employed by ad agencies, so it is not a very easy skill... But you should learn it. Read books on advertising, and sales!! Since you are an international player, chances are Dollars are expensive... and good kanding pages are expensive to design, so learn some good photoshop... What you need: Good adword skill. Good Copywriting. Good landing page. Don't worry too much about the Niche. Every niche is good if you know the above three stuff.
erm... what an info ive.. thanks! why not you taking me up as your mentor? leverage your knowledge so you might have a good mentee in return.. why do i need copywriting? surely im not that good in making landing page but ive seen people that having not a good landing page, but still make some profits.. adwords? it cost big money buddy.. how can newbie like me get so much income??? cheers!
Exactly why I said you need to first stop doing anything and start on your reading. Question: why do i need copywriting? In affiliate marketing, you can either have a great website with 10000s of targetted visitors. In which case, you would earn thousands not just with affiliates but with Adsense, CPM ads etc etc. But building a site with 100000s of visitors is a different game altogether. But then Google adwords happened, and now you can buy targetted traffic based on what people is Looking for SEARCHING!! That is the best targetting you could ever get.. what we call PPC, or Pay per click.. And as the name suggest, PAY PER CLICK, you got to pay for every single visitor.. on a per click basis, since you are getting traffic through those clicks.. And since those clicks cost money, you don't want everyone to click... But only those who would end up buying something through your affiliate links.. RIGHT? SO you need to write advertisement copy for adwords in such a way that It will attract the right customer.. Only Hot Qualified Leads should click on your adword ad links so that you have good conversion... And hence you need to be a good copy writer.... Why you need to learn to make good landing pages? Why do you want to be like those whop has bad landing pages ad still make profit.. WHy not be one who can make great landing pages and also turn a profit? Hmm.. WIthout adwords or PPC, what kind of traffic wer you looking for... On a returns on investment basis, Adwords will prove to be miuch better source for traffic. As for the money, you need to start somewhere.. DP is a grear place to earn some extra bucks. Many people offer some unique service like directory submissions, social network posting etc to raise fund.. You need to start somewhere and also learn at the same time... DP is a great starting place One lesson: Never try to fool someone or cheat.. Don't try to cheat your customers.. You will easily start to build up something.. All the best... I can't take a mentee.. Time is a constraint my friend.. I also work full time... and have several websites to maintain Just read through the archives.. Follwo all the honest tips.. not those get rich quick schemes.. Give yourself time to learn and grow.. Godspeed~~
Blogspotter is right. I think you won't find any affiliate guru willing to help you, it's not because they're bad guys/girls but they invest their time on improving their campaigns. It's hard at the beginning, you could think you'll never make any money but you have to have the mindset "I'm going to make this work". And that's all. If you really want to do serious affiliate, you've got to have a good mindset and don't get disappointed because some offers are not proftiable. One of these days, sooner than you think, you could find a good offer that would return your inicial investment. When I didn't know anything about affiliates, I was feeling desperate and I really wanted to have a mentor so i could learn the basis. Everything I did was read a lot about PPC and affiliates. Amit's blog is definitely a must and I decided to put in practice what I read. My first campaigns were not profitable at all, I lost some bucks, but that's a part of the game. If you're willing to have success you have to stick to it and keep testing. Good luck and NEVER get disappointed, that's not the way!
This should help: stop reading or buying ebook use what you have and start to experience it Losing money at first with PPC is not necessary a bad thing because you will get lots of experience out of it instead of asking for mentor guide you step by step. Go out there and actually do something.
