Category: Affiliate Marketing for Newbies

Ok let’s face it, most people are trying to pitch something in some way shape or form, especially bloggers. In the Affiliate marketing industry, most people are looking out for one person and guess what – that person isn’t YOU, it’s THEMSELF! There are far too many people trying to make a living off of people new to affiliate marketing. It’s really sickening.

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, even if you’re not new, remember one thing. You do NOT NEED ANY product to become successful. All of these products that these self-proclaimed guru’s are offering will not make you rich, they may help you make money, but the keyword is HELP, they may HELP you make money. Not so much these days, but a year or two ago the big craze was keyword tools and keyword programs. They were advertised to make you think that with that tool or service, you will make money. Guess what? It isn’t that simple. If you know what you’re doing, they will come in handy and help shorten manual research, but the product alone will not make you money.

The latest trend seems to be spy tools. You get to “spy” on your competition and successful affiliates and “borrow” (steal) there campaign details. I can see why so many people would fall for this and think that something like this would make them money, but it just isn’t the case. Don’t get me wrong, I can see how these tools would be good for research purposes, but realistically if you are using these tools to there full capacity, chances are you don’t NEED them, they are just a nice addition to help save you time and you would still be making money regardless.

One of the biggest threats in my eyes are some of these self proclaimed super affiliates who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. Often they are failed affiliates and they pray on people new to this industry. Some will brag and boast of how much money they make, guess what, almost any successful affiliate is not going to just come out and tell you what they make. I’m not going to name names, I’m already involved with enough drama as it is and I don’t need to add to it, drama doesn’t make me any money.

Just remember, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. You aren’t going to start making money with out lots of hard work. I know many people are going to look at this post and question it as I am one of the owners of Affiliit. However, at Affiliit we are upfront and let people know to become successful, they will need to work for it. We can guide people through proven techniques and show them and offer help on the way, but in the end it will be their motivation and work ethic that takes them to the path of success. We only offer guidance and training, their is no get rich scheme or magic pill here. Anyone can be successful in Affiliate Marketing, it just depends on how much time, energy and money you want to invest in it.

A while back I posted with a link to a guide how to make money with polls. That was 1 out of 3 guides for that. I figured sooner or later I better post the other 3. For those who do not know, polls are a method many use to get cheap traffic to promote e-mail submits. Often this method is criticized as the quality of traffic is normally low. Meaning the traffic is not backing out for the advertiser. Meaning that advertiser isn’t making money on the offer. Due to this, the advertiser will often boot affiliates from running this offer, or they will just start to scrub leads.

You can still make money with polls! Just follow the instructions as outlined in the tutorials!

One of our long serving members hit a milestone for him recently and I couldn’t help but dedicate a blog post for it.

We at Affiliit are very proud of this member and want to publically recognize his success. James had his highest profit day on Oct 19, 2009!

He managed to rake in $1461.88! Remember this is profit. James had this success by working with Facebook.

Please join me in recognizing James’ great accomplishment. This didn’t happen overnight. I know James has put in lots of time and money testing and tracking and just learning how to get it done right. James is proof that if you put in the time, you will profit!

Thank you James and good luck in the future from all of us at Affiliit!

Many people have recently been asking me what makes Affiliit a good internet marketing training course or what makes Affiliit different than the competition. Of coarse every site owner is going to think there site is the best, if they didn’t then they are either in the wrong mindset or they are doing something wrong.

Affiliit focuses on several aspects of Internet Marketing, most training programs just focus on 1 aspect such as seo, ppc, article marketing, etc. Affiliit takes the all around approach and finds way to train and combine as many different aspects as possible.

Like many other Internet Marketing Training courses, Affiliit offers progressive monthly training. Each month more information is revealed, new techniques are released. Affiliit is designed on this platform, we make sure that what you learn in month 1 will benefit you in month 2 and what you learn in month 2 will benefit you in month 3 and so on.

Affiliit has 2 full time internet marketing trainers/mentors. Affiliit also has a large library of videos and more are constantly being added. Affiliit also has a HUGE selection of tools, currently the tool count is just over 90 tools. That’s 90 ways that Affiliit helps simplify you making money.

Affiliit also has there own affiliate program, for each member you refer you get 50% recurring commission, so based on a $47 monthly membership, affiliates receive $23.50 each sign-up each month for as long as that person remains a member of the program. That can be huge!

Affiliit is an amazing place to Learn Internet Marketing. Ask anyone who is currently a member, the general consensus is Affiliit is the place to be and the place to learn.

For the next week and a half you can try out Affiliit for only $1. Does that seem too good to be true? It isn’t! If you aren’t happy then just don’t renew your membership. For $1 you can’t go wrong!

I know many people know this technique already, it has been around for ages! Several different variations have been used such as using Google text ads, Google image ads, Facebook and even Myspace! The trick behind polls is your promoting an e-mail or zip submit and you use a poll topic so you can use unsaturated keywords to drive traffic to your offers.

It looks like as of today my tenure with PPC Coach has come to an end. I was a member of PPC Coach from August 2008 until today. I have both learned a great deal from the members of the site, and I believe they have learned a great deal from me as well. As a PPC Coach moderator I helped teach and train people new to the PPC world and mold them into successful PPC advertisers. It was a volunteer job, it had it’s ups and downs, but it was something!

As many of you know Affiliit opened it’s doors almost 2 weeks ago. While we do not consider ourselves a competitor of PPC Coach, it appears they thought otherwise. PPC Coach primarely trains PPC advertising. Our goal at Affiliate is to teach as many aspects of affiliate marketing as possible. Yes we do teach PPC, but we teach much more such as SEO, Article Marketing, General Webmaster Guidelines and the list goes on.

I’m sure sooner or later the rumors will be starting. To clear them up before they even start – Affiliit is not a copy or competitor of PPC Coach. Affiliit did not steal or attempt to steal any PPC Coach members. Affiliit did not steal or attempt to steal any PPC Coach ideas, tools or material. Affiliit does not share any of the same months as PPC Coach.

Despite issues such as these, I am very happy to be a part of this project called Affiliit and very happy to have a good working partner in Clint. I am very confident in the future that Affiliit has.

I would also like to thank Will, PPC Coach and all the members at PPC Coach for everything. I wish all of them luck in the future.

With that being said it’s time to move on to bigger projects, Affiliit here I come!

If you’ve visited your fair share of blogs at some point in time you may have come across ppcmom.com. The name and branding alone brought out instant trust in readers! Then after adding in some tips and tricks, it was an obvious success! The original PPC Mom had to cut back then eventually give up blogging due to – motherhood! Ironic isn’t it?

From the ashes a phoenix has risen. An up and coming PPC guru has taken over the duties, name, responsibilities and domain for PPC Mom (ppcmom.com). You can read all about the introduction of the New PPC Mom Right Here.

I know when someone takes over a domain, current readers and subscribers can have a feeling of doubt. Trust me, there is no need for this. Jen, the new PPC Mom stands for everything that Mary (the old PPC Mom) stood for. She has the same characteristics and same passion for helping people. She even has knowledge to help people too! :)

So everyone, sit back and help me Welcome Jen as the new PPC Mom! I’m sure we are in for a treat as she starts to take over!

If your interesting in Affiliate Marketing Training or if your looking for a way to learn affiliate marketing you might want to consider a training/mentoring program. It should not come as a surprise to many that the affiliate marketing industry can be a difficult one to crack. There is loads of competition and most of the competition is well funded. If your new, it certainly can’t hurt to have someone in your corner when facing the heavyweights!

Unfortunately not all advice is good advice. Many of the free information given away on blogs and public forums either isn’t very useful, is very outdated, or is downright wrong. Many bloggers and forum posters will try to sabotage the competition by feeding them false information. Obviously not everyone does this, but some do. You need to find people that you can trust.

Affiliit, Wealthy Affiliate and PPC Coach are all good trustworthy names. I have been a member of the former 2 and I am one of the founders of Affiliit. I know the people that run these programs are top notch. In an affiliate training program it is the goal of the site owners to ensure you succeed, there isn’t any hidden agenda, they want you to succeed. If you succeed they have succeeded.

So how do you go about deciding which training program to join? A good start would be to do a search on them and find out real reviews by real members. Make sure you get the details from real members and not just an affiliate promoting the site. Ask questions on affiliate marketing forums, ask if anyone has experience with the programs. Even go as far as contacting the site owners and ask them what they have that the others don’t. It will be interesting if you get the answers from all of them and compare.

In the end, just do your research, don’t just jump into the first program you see. Make sure you make and informed decision. Remember you are investing in yourself, you need to find the program which is best suited for YOU!

It’s not often I will post about a product or service. Affiliit is the odd exception!

Now why is Affiliit an exception? It is my product! I have teamed up with Clint from ClintLenard.com and we have put together an in-depth affiliate training program. We made sure this program was designed to reflect several aspects of affiliate marketing and not just one section such as PPC. Clint and I have help tons of people achieve their goals and more in affiliate marketing, we feel this was a natural progression to start our own training program.

Affiliit focuses on several aspects of Affiliate Marketing. They teach and train in-depth on PPC, SEO, Article Marketing and more. They also teach you how to use these methods with CPA programs, datafeed programs and pay per sale programs.

Affiliit shares the same monthly structure as PPC-Coach, this helps newbies from experiencing information overload. After each month you progress onto the next month and you gain access to another section of the forum.

One of the key features of Affiliit is the amount of training material. The majority of the information is on the forums, however they also incorporate videos and case studies. They also have several tools which help you along your way.

If your having problems, struggling or just plain want to learn more – Affiliit might be for you!
