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.

- Free WP TemplatesI have been doing a lot of work lately modifying free WP templates. I am amazed at the number of free WP templates, and have to wonder why anyone would pay for a Wordpress template. I am periodically asked by customers if I would build them a custom WP template. I explain to them that I [...]

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.
I’ve been struggling with affiliate market, but these tips, especially for the beginner, which I am, are great! It gives me the courage to keep going!
These are very good infos. Before reading this blog, affiliate stuff is a mystery to me. I’ll be looking for the parts 1 to 7. Thank you very much for sharing.
to be honest i have been in net over a year now but i havent been able to have a check more than $15, guess i will follow your advice to have multiple affliate programs…sometimes really discouraging…time to move on anyway.
The popularity of affiliate marketing is growing day by day. Never before has the work at home opportunity been so talked and raved about. People are now using the internet to earn additional income and others are using the web as their main source of income. Affiliate marketing can be simply explained as promoting somebody else’s business in your own website in exchange for a certain percentage of the generated sale. In effect, you are a partner of the business entrepreneur and your sole responsibility is to promote his products online.
Great posts. I think, if possible, you should documentize them into 1 PDF.
Thanks for sharing!

Definitely affiliate can bring good traffic to our website but its really important where we are publishing our website. And how popular that site is…
Building content sites takes time but with Wordpress and a number of good plugins and you can draw traffic and generate sales rather quickly.
Most affiliate programs offer a very large charge and charge, of course, is very interest of the beginner, but the products offered is not very interesting so no purchase is made and the commission payment to the originator even if the commission amount offered is quite large.
I really like these guides you have been doing, I think, something everyone should be following, no matter what they are doing in their life is to be patient and Don’t Quit.
I’m very careful about what affiliate products I promote. I usually run a test over a few weeks, usually through article marketing to determine first, if their is a market and secondly, if there is a high refund rate. I do this before I spend too much time on SEO, marketing and site development.
Joining many affiliate program is good. You might put an ad that catches a visitor eyes and they would buy through your link.
Multiple networks can indeed do wonders. Things won’t happen overnight so a lot of patience is needed and a positive attitude.

I totally agree that we should not expect commission from affiliate programs immediately. It does take some time and need a great deal of patience. Thanks for this info. Good luck.
I look 1st at the money I can make if they are paying 2-5% on a 29.99 item I move on as thats a waste of my time.Many programs pay 25% and more
affiliate marketing sure is a struggle because the commission percentage is very low
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.
Thank you for sharing this helpful information. I think i really have to study and read a lot of your post. I want my site to gain good amount of traffic.
im new right there , i just use the easy tasks now i need more practice and i ll use it too like this.
Very VERY useful information that I plan to file and refer to many a time. There are many affiliate ebooks floating out there that claim to be helpful but aren’t.
So thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience.
take care…
I agree with the above, I was never able to do anything with CJ and I always found the % too low. I have started using pepperjam and that seems to be working a bit better. But I still need to learn more in this area.
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?
i agree, being as diversified as you can can only help you in the long run. that way you’re always covered. nice post.
I am on the other end of it. I am looking to have affiliates shop my product. It retails for about $40 and wonder what incentive I should give. Also, is there a good program that would be good for me to use? i dunno what to use since there are so many different.
I have tried to join affiliate program, but still no gain. Poor me.
I believe that another key tip for affiliate marketers is to do something unique. If you are just doing the exact same thing as all the other affiliates out there, you will have a really hard time competing, and making a good profit.
Those are three simple, yet very crucial things in affiliate marketing. Without a network, you cannot drive traffic to your product from multiple sources. Without options, you may not get the most amount of results. And without patience, you may quit before you are about to hit success.
Clickbank start new rules which is not allowed p2p product anymore. Do you have any alternative for it. By the way thanks for the good tips above. Im also quite new in Affiliate Marketing
Yes, affiliate marketing works. Many people earn a good living from it. I personally bring in a decent percentage of income from doing this.
Patience and hard work always go together. Networking is like planting a garden. You have to give it enough time and effort. Be alert, too. Be on the look for new ideas that you can incorporate in your affiliate marketing.
In any business you need time, effort, work and persistence. And in this business you will need a lot of time and patience to start making money but when you start to make you understand that paid your all the effort.
Great post! One thing I would say, though, about choosing multiple niche markets - yes, it’s good to have several income streams going, but if I were just starting out (read: I had it to do over again), I’d limit myself to maybe 4 or 5 products at first.
When I started in affiliate marketing, I tried to sell every product undre the sun… I ended up diluting my efforts, and didn’t get anywhere until I scaled down. It’s pretty easy for a newbie to get overwhelmed.
The Affiliate Marketing industry has four core players at its heart. the Merchant, the Network, the Publisher and the Consumer.
Many new people to affiliate marketing don’t know how to get started so they end up jumping in to a program or system.
When I feel that I can’t do something, I’m remembering this:
Abraham Lincoln…
Failed in business at age 21.
Was defeated in a legislative race at age 22.
Failed again in business at age 24.
Overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26.
Had a nervous breakdown at age 27.
Lost a congressional race at age 34.
Lost a congressional race at age 36.
Lost a senatorial race at age 45.
Failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47.
Lost a senatorial race at age 47.
Was elected PRESIDENT of the US at age 52!
Now that’s it the spirit we all have to develop if we want to become successful.
affiliate marketing is the best way to earn a money. it is the higher choice of people.You have to give it enough time and effort.thanks for post. sorry for bad English i am just learning.
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.thanks for post.
Great list of success tips. I agree that affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and fastest ways to earn money. I see quite a number of affiliate schools coming up too. That’s a good sign and you can be sure that it’s money well spent when people enroll here.
Affiliate Marketing is very easy but if we don’t know how it’s hard get earning. This is a great idea for Affiliate marketers making friends and sharing with them. Join Social Networking (hi5, facebook, yahoo messagers, twitter etc, and also forums) and News Sites.
I agree with this, internet is really a effective tool on widening up you friends and also it can help your business in a way that you can cater to others who is not within your area.
Affiliate marketing is a great way to achieve success in the world of internet. Normally people are unaware of their dos and donts. But by reading this they will come to know about all the deep secrets. Keep writing will be waiting for some more of it.
Wealthy Affiliate is the place to learn affiliate marketing from scratch.
The tutorials and tips are grate on this site, but like most of you realize, it takes time to become a pro
And earn full time.
My advice would be build has many mini review sites as you can.
Build 30 in different niches, you only need each to make $30 a week = $900 a week.
One of the most important things to learn is pre-sell and SEO, You can just learn how to pre-sell and use PPC but I don’t like giving my hard earned money to Google or his friends.
It’s a good life, learn it and earn it and never look back.
P.S Don’t expect every mini site you build to earn money 10% never do, just leave it and move on.
