When I joined my first affiliate programs, I did everything wrong: I joined under lazy uplines, I used Traffic Exchange websites and free safe-lists to promote it, yielding poor results. One of the lessons I learned from the start, was to find the right sponsor or mentor. I found mine and signed up under her. I did mistakes still, especially one that a lot of fresh marketers still do …

My biggest mistake was promoting GDI (Global Domains International). Even though it is a solid affiliate company rewarding their users for their efforts, you have to both work smart and hard to achieve good results with it. With no results and no sign-ups, other than those from my sponsor, my frustration was mounting. I was told that, writing articles works well for traffic, and as my endeavor into the minefields of PPC advertising left me flat broke, I wrote my first article ever, on ACME People Search and GDI, and submitted it to a directory. With the help of a few back-links, my article climbed to the top-three positions on Google’s first page in few days and pulled in several new referrals in my ACME People Search account, one of whom also signed up in my GDI downline. I realized by then that, submitting articles to promote ACME People Search works much better than promoting GDI alone.

In addition to the new sign-ups, I earned $25 with that article, which is still sending traffic to my sign-up page. Imagine what you can achieve with 10 articles, 20, 50 … This is powerful!

Where to start when writing articles: Research the keywords you want to use for your articles, write a new unique article, publish it on your website or blog and index it. Use an article spinner: Easy Article Rewriter (free) and spin five to ten different versions of your article, submit to the top article directories using your anchor keyword (i.e. “How to sail a boat”). Build new back-links to your articles from websites, blogs, forum signatures e.t.c. on a regular basis, and your links will receive free “laser-targeted” traffic when done right. For more SEO information and tools, I suggest that you sign up for free with SEO Book.

The e-book, written by some Internet Marketing guru using the oh so clever pen name “Rich B. Astard”, claimed that Gary would be making money in practically no time at all, as long as he followed the guru’s steps. A couple of weeks later, Gary has gotten nowhere. He didn’t even finish reading the e-book because it was overwhelming, with too much information too soon. Next he got busy downloading several hundred e-books on the same topic, and burned out.

Stop trying to learn everyting at once

A lot of people are like Gary, commiting the mistake of not putting any or enough effort into this, or they give up too soon. Gary went back to daydreaming about making money on the Internet, which is as far as he will ever get, unless he takes action, put together a plan and stay with it.

Imagine you started working out to lose weight and build muscles, a couple of weeks ago. You can hardly notice any difference, and it is not exactly fun when you do it all alone, so you slip back into your comfort zone and stop working out and go back to eating unhealthy food again. I should know how that feels, I have been there many times. If you on the other hand stay with the diet and exercise program, you will notice a difference. Not necessarily in a few weeks, but in the next couple of months you will most definitely see and feel a difference.

Be consistent and you will achieve results

It’s just the same with Internet Marketing! Think of it as following your own personal exercise program and diet. Create it and follow it religiously. When you feel that you are about to slip out, seek support. Get in touch with other marketers in places such as the Warrior Forum, which is free to use and has a knowledgeable and supportive community.

If you have money to invest, it can help you earn more money sooner, but even if you have no money to spare at all, you can still create a solid income online. It only takes more time and effort.
