It’s Mike with AffiliatePayDay again. Here are parts eight, nine and ten of the Affiliate Marketing For Beginners 10 Keys To Success course.
Build a Network
Become friends with other affiliate marketers.
Share information about the best deals, the most effective affiliate marketing strategies, and perhaps, even some lists of potential buyers. Remember, the world is all about a network of contacts. Each person you know could eventually help you out at some point. The internet is really no different when it comes to building a network of contacts.
Multiple Affiliate Programs
Do not limit yourself to one affiliate program. Join as many as you can without losing the focus of what you want to sell. Greater variety is good, as long as your products are niche related. The more niche products you offer, the greater the chances that one will be bought. Joining affiliate programs is free, so you might as well make the most out of it.
Be patient and Don’t Quit
Don’t expect great results overnight.
It takes time to build traffic to your site, to build your email list, and to build relationships. If you quit, you certainly won’t be successful. But if you are patient and stick with it, affiliate marketing can be very profitable and very rewarding.
This is the last part of the “Affiliate Marketing - The 10 Keys To Success” affiliate marketing for beginners course. If you would like more detail
on these 10 tips, plus a lot more information, I encourage you to pick up AffiliatePayDay - the Affiliate Marketing for Beginners Guide.

Agreed about joining multiple networks. It’s also a good idea to split test offers you’re promoting between a few different networks, often times the results can be very different from one network to another.
Commission Junction has started taking $10 a month from my account because I haven’t sold anything in 6 months, the hosers. is it OK to buy from your own affilaite link to stop that?
Peter,
I have never had much success with Commission Junction for some reason. I know there are people who make full time livings off of CJ alone, but I have never mastered marketing CJ products.
What I really didn’t like about CJ, is if you didn’t make a sale in 6 months, they would cancel your account without warning. So if you still had live links out there going to CJ, and if someone purchased from your link, you would not get credit for the sale.
To me, this was unethical and dishonest, so I quit using CJ. So now, instead of just disabling your account, they charge you?
Just doesn’t seem right to me.
Mike
I have to agree that you wont be able to see the results overnight. It takes time and probably effort to see the result of your hardwork.
Sky is the limit when we talk about Internet. So get those fingers working and join as many affiliate programs as you can.
I just new in this program, i join only one affiliate program and it’s take all my time to promote it. for beginner like me to control multiple program is difficult maybe after 3 or 5 month later i’ll try to do it. thanks.
Hello, great articles. But I have difficulties about network building, can you give more tips?
I am on the other end of it. I am looking to have affiliates shop my product. It retails for about $30 and wonder what incentive I should give. Also, is there a good program that would be good for me to use? There are so many but are some better than others?
I am on the other end of it. I am looking to start an affiliate program for my site so others can advertise my product. Is there one that is any better than another?
First off, these are some tips. And I agree that it takes alot of networking, and alot of patience. And also, if you invest your time wisely, and are making the right connections the time will come when you will see it all pay off. The longer you go, the easier it’s going to get. At least thats how I see it.
Multiple networks can indeed do wonders. Things won’t happen overnight so a lot of patience is needed and a positive attitude.
There are a lot of people that claim you can start making money right away with affiliate marketing - and you can.
But, for most people it will take time to start earning money, and many will give up before they make a dime. It takes persistence and patience.
So, don’t ever quit, do a little each day and eventually you will find success.
11. Don’t Sell Your Soul.
A lot of affiliate products are crap. You wouldn’t buy them yourself. Don’t sell your soul by hyping other people into buying them.
affiliate is not an easy task at all. sometimes it takes more than 3-4 years to get good results.
