I shall keep this post short and simple, starting with a simple delineation of affiliate marketing and how those crucial steps can be replicated by anyone to achieve success.
Everyone who’s been successful in this business started somewhere. That much is certain. What did they feel that they needed to get started? — website; traffic; and ranking on search engines such as Google. Along the way, they would have implicitly thought of a niche — and how lucrative it might be relative to other niches. Then they might have stumbled on to keywords.
This is a very simple (not over simplified, I hope) narrative.
Now let me crystallise it as your 5 priorities:
- website
- traffic
- ranking
- niche
- keywords
My point is this — if you can understand these points, you, too, can do it. And, here I want to show you how. But, first, the pitfalls of alternatives.
Surely, you can do research on your own, and, eventually you will most likely come to the same conclusions — because elements of affiliate marketing are indispensable. It would be classic fallacy of reinventing the wheel: you’ll find out what is already known. And, into the bargain you shall have traded traded away valuable time. One thing you can be certain of: with passage of time without any tangible results, your frustration will rise to a crescendo and chances are that you will abandon the project.
So, all things considered and to get to the point straight away . . .
That’s why a professional, registered platform makes perfect sense. Not only does this make learning effective — because of the native learning community — but also because of mentors — whose invaluable wisdom can help you succeed where others may have failed and quit the scene.
The basic idea of platform is to get everything in one place — a place where you can go to every morning as you grab your first cup of coffee, a place to get not only the necessary tools but also the camaraderie and support that you need to sustain yourself along this journey.
The place I recommend to you without hesitation is this one: Wealthy Affiliate. Go check it out, first. Take a broad view and go back again for the finer details. If you’re eager to launch yourself into your entrepreneurial journey, then this is very first step today.
In the next 5 posts in this series, I shall take you step by step through each stage of your journey. But, first, allow me to articulate for you the problems to be solved by taking the 5 priorities from above into a set of how-to questions as follows:
How to —
- Build An Affiliate Marketing Website???
- Get traffic?
- Rank?
- Find your niche?
- Find keywords?
The key to all these is to start at the top — yes, the item with the three question marks.
Cheers.
