So i am a senior in my high school and have always been interested in affiliate marketing. I have tried some MLM programs, but i feel that affiliate marketing is where i can be most succesful. My question is where do i begin? I have used paydotcom.com and advertised the products their, i have only used craigslist, because its free and 400 hits later i have made 2 sales leading me to 50 bucks. Is there a better way to approach this? So far i really like this forum, good place to get GREAT info, but sometimes it is a lot to take in. Thanks for any help and advice you can give, Steven
I can recommend you to Join MoreNiche and read the Beginner Guide and the Marketing E-Books there. They will give you some good directions on the start. You can always choose another Affiliate Program later, but MoreNiche looks like it is the best place for beginners.
Yup, MoreNiche would be great to start. MoreNiche is really newbie-friendly. They have a forum, recently setup a blog and have threads dedicated entirely to making your first sale. If you need a product recommendation from them, here's a thread of mine. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=846708 Or, if I already got you on my side, click the first or second link in my signature to join! Good luck!
I have to say NeverBlueAds network is very good place to start. They have many weight loss free trial offers (VERY HOT NICHE) that pay $30+ per free trial ordered. There's a link to sign up below in my sig. Once you signed up send me a PM on here and ill be more then happy to help you out. Good luck.
I would suggest you check out Secret Affiliate Code it is one of the best programs that I have ever seen. It leaves nothing out on showing how the gurus make money and how to get all the free traffic you need. check it out here http://www.affiliatecodesite.com
with all these things that you are suggesting, do they cost anything for like a membership. I really dont have a lot, thats why i liked using paydotcom.com and craigslist because i made 2 sales that didnt cost me a thing. Aswell i dont have a website of my own, just been using barious affiliate links. I will keep checking out the various sites you guys reccomend
You don't pay anything at MoreNiche, it's all free. They just help you to start making sales. This is the way they will make money too And you also don't need to have a website. You can just use your affiliate links to make some sales.
do they keep track of your sales? also im assuming it wont be hard to find affiliates at all, but what im guessing is its the advertising that may be difficult? what say you guys about that?
I was also recommended in a ebook that i bought that these to sites are great what do you think or know? 1. COPEAC 2. CPAEmpire
Yes Copeac and Empire are great. If you are looking for other reliable programs, check out the link in my sig. Any questions, feel free to PM me.
I'm a senior as well, but in COLLEGE, not high school I remember starting back when I was still in high school, made some bucks with the autosurfs and mlm programs back then. However, it's the affiliate programs that provided the residual income up to this very day. If you'd like to talk more about it, just message me your chat messenger ids and I'd do my best to help you. ~Johnnie Boy
Is Copeac and Empire free? Also how do you recommend advertising? All ive really used is craigslist, what else do you guys recommend?
Some of these places that i am applying to for example CPAEmpire are asking for a website? What id i dont have a website?
Their is definitely many ways to achieve success especially with affiliate programs. You are on the right track though. Combination of affiliate programs and Craigslist, and you can easily earn more than what you are earning. Find a good high payout program. I suggest going with business opportunities in which you can earn a minimum of $35/Sale. You do not have to belong to an affiliate network such as paydots. In my opinion I have found higher payouts for those offering affiliate programs that are not part of an affiliate network. If you want to go down that route though, you can even try Commission Junction at www.cj.com, shareasale and a few others. But keep doing what you are doing, you just need to figure out something that will sell on CL, and let me tell you that it is definitely work at home business opportunities. Go from their and you can easily pull in an extra 400 - 500 week working 20 - 25 hours.
So for someone like me who doesnt have a website of my own what do you recommend. All these websites that i try applying to always require a url, what if i dont have one?
Your best bet to make good money online is to have your own website. I can recommend a program that will set you up a website for free, you only have to supply the domain.
