| Effective Affiliate Promotion Tactics |
The other day a got a call from a someone who found me through my Google Place business profile, yep those little free web sites actually work. After introducing ourself, shoot a quick question, "can you really make money selling affiliate products?" I felt his frustration, so instead of just giving him a simple "YES", I decide to learn more about what he really think or knew about affiliate marketing, online advertising, and Internet marketing in general.
Right away he told me that he has been trying to sell other merchants products for about 3 years without any good results and he was ready to quit the whole web marketing thing for good. He has been reading all kind of articles, blog posts, and ebooks he found online. He also sign up for every single business newsletter on his path. I told him that his first mistake was that he was
overloading himself with information... It's OK to sign up for newsletters, read blogs posts, articles, and reports as soon as you plan to integrated into your business.
Back To Business School.
The right process for your learning it should be school style. This is what I mean; you need to focus, so pick a subject like "SEO strategies" then what you need to do is find reliable information sources (free and paid) that will help you learn the basics and then take you to a more advanced methods. Now, set up a one or a few websites or blogs where you are going to be applying what you learn. Ever time you learn a new technique apply it, and don't read anything else until you finish your home work. This way you make yourself more accountable for each aspect of your Internet business development and marketing.
This is what I think:
"If you approach each part of your business with good focus you will open the doors to massive success." By me Luis Galarza.
