You do not learn all about affiliate marketing
from reading just one blog post,
or article, buying one course,
or watching a video tutorial.
It’s an on-going process
in which you learn something
and immediately implement that knowlege.
In time you get to know what works best
and just as important what doesn’t work.
As an affiliate marketer you are continuously
researching stuff on Google and You Tube.
You are seeing what is working for successful marketers.
You find out what tools they are using and what they are saying.
Different marketers have their own style and techniques.
You will soon find out what resonates with you
and you can then develop your own methods.
You should try out different types of affiliate marketing.
If you’re currently only promoting physical products,
you should learn how to promote digital products.
When you see how you are getting on with eBay and Amazon
you can try your hand on Clickbank and CJ Affiliate.
Learn how to improve and tweak your strategies.
Move on from the beginner’s mindset.
You want to learn how to cultivate the relationship with your visitors.
So that they value your opinion and trust your judgement.
Test the results of more than one single method.
Don’t stick with doing product reviews in blog post after blog post.
Try something a bit different like a top 10 list for example.
You will notice that some things change
in the online affiliate marketing business.
What worked to get you traffic and sales
a few years ago doesnt work any more.
You must follow the market trends
and adjust your strategy accordingly.
When video marketing started to become commonplace,
the early adopters gained an incredible edge
over affiliates still using text-only.
They were able to build trust quickly and easily
and reach more prospects with YouTube.
Try to get hold of several different marketing courses.
You can get some good free training
but you will have to pay for the better stuff.
Check out affiliate marketing memberships
where you can interact with other affiliates
and share tips and maybe do a joint venture.
When you start to see profits coming in on a regular basis
you should consider investing in a mentor or coach.
A good coach can look at your current position
and guide you to the next stage of your development.
You will soon be running a thriving business
and enjoying a carefree lifestyle.
