Since the beginning of the Internet, people from all walks of life have tried to find their fortune online. While a few talented individuals have had great success, the majority of individuals are simply looking to earn some extra income in this great new frontier.
When first venturing online, one of the ways that many try their hand at earning income is through Affiliate Marketing. Which is what this website is all about. While this form of Internet Marketing holds great potential, there are many pitfalls to avoid. We will look at several mistakes that beginning and sometimes experienced Affiliate Marketers make that greatly impede their efforts.
Persistance Works
April 17, 2008
You hear it all the time, “affiliate programs never work”, “you can’t make money online”,”I tried that and it is a scam”
You know what I see all the time? I see people that are not persistent. They join a program with instant riches in their head, they join a few traffic exchanges, maybe they even place an ad, or pay for some PPC listings. In the end they make little to no money and it ends up costing them more than they made in those two weeks.
Making Your Presence Known on the Web

Having your own URL and web page is essential to any online effort. Many affiliates try to just promote their affiliate links. This in itself is okay, but you are running the risk of having your affiliate link modified which robs your of your commission. Also, what many online gurus will not tell you, is that in order to be truly successful on the web you have to present some kind of authority on the product you are promoting.

Focus on Your Goal
April 2, 2008
The mistake many first time marketers make is they lose focus. They try too many marketing methods and don’t stick to any one for near long enough. They will assume the entire system is a crock and throw in the towel. In some cases beginners will buy books and reports promising riches but because they can’t focus on their goal they get frustrated at their lack of progress and quit.
Backwards Marketing Strategy
April 1, 2008
I have read numerous Clickbank guides and many of them layout the same method for getting started with Clickbank:
